Measuring direct non-medical burden among patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in China: is there a difference in health status?

This study was conducted to estimate the direct non-medical cost of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and explore whether its associated factors vary by health status. Data were obtained from 13 centers in five provinces for patients with advanced NSCLC in China. The direct non-me...

The direct non-medical cost of patients since the patients were diagnosed with NSCLC included the cost of transportation, accommodation, meal, hired caregiving, and nutrition.
