The analyzed costs included direct medical costs. The time horizon encompassed the entire duration of patient hospitalization. <strong>Results:<\/strong> The study included 17 IPF patients, predominantly male (15 out of 17, or 88.23%), with a sex ratio (M\/F) of 8.5 and a mean age of 68.41 \u00b1 8.63 years. The average cost per patient increased from 394,034.11 DZD for the stable form to 1,185,332.74 DZD for the exacerbated form. The acute exacerbation stage was more costly, averaging 5,710,581.14 DZD per patient. More than three-quarters of expenditure was attributable to hospitalization costs. <strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> The results of this study suggest that optimal management of IPF could reduce costs associated with hospitalizations during acute exacerbations, thereby limiting the economic burden of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong>\u00a0health economics, exacerbation, pharmaco-economics study, cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fulltext\u00a0(PDF) DOI: 10.48087\/BJMS.2026.130304 Authors:\u00a0Melissa CHABANE1, Habiba FETATI1, Halima ROUABAH2, Souhila BOUATTAM1, Sa\u00eeda Hanane ZITOUNI-NOURINE1, Fatma BOUDIA1 Houari TOUMI1 Affiliations:\u00a01- Faculty of Medicine, Ahmed Benbella Oran 1 University \u2013 Algeria. 2- Faculty of Medicine, Ferhat Abbas, Setif University 1 \u2013 Algeria.
