Introduction.
The study aimed to evaluate the influence of socioeconomic factors on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients’ access to biologics in Romania.
Method.
Cross-sectional data were collected in January 2014 from the Romanian Registry of Rheumatic Diseases (RRRD) comprising all RA patients on biologics from 42 Romanian counties.
“Territorial” access to biologics was defined by patients receiving biologics in their home county.
A county was “equitable” if <25% of RA patients received biologics outside it.
Results.
The RRRD included 4507 RA patients aged 56.7±12.1 years, with a disease duration of 12.1±8.3 years.
Urban dwellers (67.8%) had a significantly higher prevalence of territorial biologic access than rural dwellers (83.1% compared to 74.1%; p<0.001).
Gross domestic product (GDP) in 1000 €/capita/county (odds ratio (OR) = 1.224) and number of physicians/1000 inhabitants/county (OR = 2.198) predict territorial access to biologics and also predict the number of territorially treated RA patients.
Inequitable counties exhibited significantly lower socioeconomic indicators than equitable counties.
Conclusion.
In Romania, RA patients’ access to biologics varies significantly between counties.
Urban dwellers and patients living in counties/regions with high living standards are more likely to receive biologics locally than those living in more deprived areas.
