Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the economic burden of mesothelioma in Italy by assessing the overall societal cost of the disease, applying an econometric model. Methods: We analyzed two main cost groups, public and social. The first includes expenditure borne by the State and other public bodies (medical care costs, insurance, tax and benefits), while the latter uses the human capital approach to measure the loss of productivity suffered by the economy as a whole. Results: We provide an estimate of \u20ac 33,000 per patient for medical care costs and \u20ac 25,000 for insurance and compensation; tax and benefits seem to roughly compensate. We estimated a loss of more than \u20ac 200,000 per patient, in terms of loss of production. Conclusions: This study offers a practical approach for estimating the economic impact of mesothelioma, and provides empirical evidence of the huge economic burden linked to this disease, with its high etiologic fraction.\u00a0<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.23749\/mdl.v108i5.6505","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,5]],"date-time":"2025-03-05T12:58:01Z","timestamp":1741179481000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Economic impact of malignant mesothelioma in Italy: an estimate of the public and social costs","L\u2019impatto economico del mesotelioma maligno in Italia: una stima dei costi pubblici e sociali"],"prefix":"10.23749","volume":"108","author":[{"family":"Giuliana Buresti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Epidemiology and Hygiene - Italian Workers Compensation Authority (INAIL), via Fontana Candida 1, 00078 Monte Porzio Catone (Rome), Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Fabrizio Colonna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Directorate General for Economics, Statistics and Research, Structural Economic Analysis - Bank of Italy, via Nazionale 91, 00184 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Marisa Corfiati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Epidemiology and Hygiene - Italian Workers Compensation Authority (INAIL), via Stefano Gradi 55, 00143 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Antonio Valenti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Epidemiology and Hygiene - Italian Workers Compensation Authority (INAIL), via Fontana Candida 1, 00078 Monte Porzio Catone (Rome), Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Benedetta Persechino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Epidemiology and Hygiene - Italian Workers Compensation Authority (INAIL), via Fontana Candida 1, 00078 Monte Porzio Catone (Rome), Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Alessandro Marinaccio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Epidemiology and Hygiene - Italian Workers Compensation Authority (INAIL), via Stefano Gradi 55, 00143 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Bruna Maria Rondinone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Epidemiology and Hygiene - Italian Workers Compensation Authority (INAIL), via Fontana Candida 1, 00078 Monte Porzio Catone (Rome), Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Sergio Iavicoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Epidemiology and Hygiene - Italian Workers Compensation Authority (INAIL), via Fontana Candida 1, 00078 Monte Porzio Catone (Rome), Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"27750","container-title":["La Medicina del Lavoro"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.mattioli1885journals.com\/index.php\/lamedicinadellavoro\/article\/download\/6505\/4641\/23211","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]],"date-time":"2025-03-10T17:09:57Z","timestamp":1741626597000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.mattioli1885journals.com\/index.php\/lamedicinadellavoro\/article\/view\/6505"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,27]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.23749\/mdl.v108i5.6505","relation":{"has-manifestation":[{"id-type":"other","id":"4-517-6505-g4641","asserted-by":"subject"},{"id-type":"other","id":"4-517-6505-g4642","asserted-by":"subject"}],"is-part-of":[{"id-type":"other","id":"4-517","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["2532-1080","0025-7818"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2532-1080"},{"type":"print","value":"0025-7818"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,27]]},"article-number":"5"}}
