title: [The economic expenses related to bronchial asthma morbidity].
abstract: Estimations of the cost of bronchial asthma treatment per 1 patient in Samara Province made up an annual average of 520 dollars and 531 dollars in 1993 and 1994, respectively. 70% of the expenditures were medical, 30% social. It is demonstrated that updated approaches to diagnosis and treatment of asthma unless the patients are noncompliant provided good results at reduced expenses. The economic-mathematical model is proposed basing on which one can predict prevalence of bronchial asthma, cost-effect treatment relations for 5 years to come. The model reflects both current and forthcoming trends in care for bronchial asthma.
