    • Abstract

    Background:
    Most of lung cancer patients diagnosed in advanced stage. The reasons for the delay of the diagnosis might be from patient and/or health care system. Currently, Indonesia, as a developing country in Asia, has National Health Insurance System (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional) of which the patients is feasibly referred to the referral hospital without worrying the cost. In Persahabatan Hospital-the National Referral for Respiratory Diseases many cases have diagnostic delayed that might contribute to the prognosis. We had been conducting a study to evaluate diagnostic time and diagnostic cost to diagnose lung cancer.
    
    Method:
    We conducted an observational study in Persahabatan Hospital Jakarta of which newly diagnosed lung cancer patients were reviewed. We evaluated the time and cost needed from the first visit until definitive diagnosis by histopatology obtained. We also evaluated the factors that have correlated with time and cost of lung cancer diagnosis.
    
    Result:
    One hundred and ten subjects were enrolled in this study. Eighty four (76,36%) were male and 26 (23,64%) were female. The median age was 57 years old with range 26 to 86 years old. Data have shown that 53 (48,2%) subjects were diagnosed under target time ( less than 2 weeks) but 57 subjects (51,8%) had diagnostic time more than 2 weeks. The median time of diagnostic was 15 days with the range of 1 to 68 days. Diagnostic delay was correlated with: early stage of the diseases, good performance status, no financial resource. The median cost of diagnosis was 13.025.381 Rupiahs ( around 1000 US$) with range Rp. 1.083.000,- to Rp156.285.000,- ( <100US$ to 11.000 US$). Subject who came with advanced stage, poor performance status, had complication of lung cancer and reffered to private hospitals had higher diagnostic cost.
    
    Conclusion:
    Median diagnostic time of lung cancer in Persahabatan Hospital Jakarta Indonesia was 15 days ranging from 1 to 86 days. Diagnostic time correlated with stage at admission, performance status at admission and financial support. The median cost of diagnosis was Rp. 13.025.381,- ( around 1000 US$) with the range of Rp. 1.083.000,- to Rp156.285.000,- ( < 100US$ to 10.000 US$). Cost of lung cancer diagnosis correlated with stage at admission, performance status at admission, source of financial support and complication related to lung cancer.
