Burden of Arthritis in Canada Case Study
How SVT measured the full human burden of arthritis.
The challenge
Arthritis is usually counted through health-system spending rather than lost wellbeing.
The approach
SVT used ONEMODEL to represent how disease states and wellbeing interact over time.
Key results
- Social value loss is projected to rise to $150.9B by 2055.
- The burden is larger than the economic cost.
- Women aged 65+ carry the largest share.
