Identification of Patients Diagnosed with Rare and Emerging Diseases Utilizing Real-World Claims Data - A Case Study of African and American Trypanosomiasis
With large sample sizes, claims databases can provide pivotal insights into patients diagnosed with rare, orphan, or emerging diseases. African (sleeping sickness) and American (Chagas disease) trypanosomiasis, both vector-borne parasitic diseases, are lifethreatening, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), but no publication to date has explored patients diagnosed with African or American trypanosomiasis utilizing real-world claims data.
This poster, presented at ISPOR 2023, explores patient profiles of African and American trypanosomiasis using the Komodo Healthcare ™, and compares identified patient profiles to previously published profiles.
