Follicular lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a population based analysis of epidemiological and health economic aspects in Germany.

ABSTRACT: Contemporary information on epidemiology, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), costs and clinical outcomes in routine care is essential for value-based decision-making. However, such information remains limited for follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in Germany. This study addresses these gaps. This retrospective cross-sectional cost-of-illness study analyzed anonymized statutory health insurance claims data (2015-2020). FL Grade I-IIIa (ICD-10: C82.0-C82.3), DLBCL (ICD-10: C83.3) patients were identified via inpatient or outpatient ICD coding. Elixhauser and Charlson Comorbidity Indices were used to describe the general comorbidity burden. FL prevalence increased from 26 to 32 per 100,000 insured persons (n = 837 to 1,028), DLBCL prevalence rose from 37 t
