January 2024 in “Preprints.org” The study quantifies the economic burden of alopecia areata in Romania, estimating a total cost of 46.289 million EUR for adults and 1.89 million EUR for pediatric patients in 2022. It highlights significant costs associated with both mild and severe cases, with mild cases resulting in slightly higher costs than severe ones. The study found a female predominance among patients, with most residing in urban areas. It emphasizes the unequal distribution of healthcare services in Romania and significant out-of-pocket costs for patients. Limitations include a small sample size of 41 patients and 7 caregivers, and reliance on a single social media platform for survey distribution.
