Despite the elimination of measles in the United States (US) in the year 2000, cases continue to occur, with measles outbreaks having occurred in various jurisdictions in the US in 2018 and 2019. Understanding the cost associated with measles outbreaks can inform cost-of-illness and cost-effectiveness studies of measles and measles prevention. We performed a literature review and identified 10 published studies from 2001 through 2018 that presented cost estimates from 11 measles outbreaks. The median total cost per measles outbreak was $152 308 (range, $9862–$1 063 936); the median cost per case was $32 805 (range, $7396–$76 154) and the median cost per contact was $223 (range, $81–$746). There were limited data on direct and indirect costs associated with measles. These findings highlight how costly measles outbreaks can be, the value of this information for public health department budgeting, and the importance of more broadly documenting the cost of measles outbreaks.

消除后时代（2004-2017）美国麻疹疫情成本估算回顾：按视角和成本类型进行的估算。


尽管美国 (US) 已于 2000 年消除了麻疹，但病例仍在继续发生，2018 年和 2019 年美国多个司法管辖区都爆发了麻疹疫情。了解与麻疹疫情相关的成本可以帮助您了解麻疹疫情的成本。 - 麻疹和麻疹预防的疾病和成本效益研究。我们进行了文献综述，并确定了 2001 年至 2018 年期间发表的 10 项研究，这些研究提出了 11 次麻疹疫情的成本估算。每次麻疹爆发的总成本中位数为 152 308 美元（范围为 9862 美元至 1 063 936 美元）；每个案例的中位费用为 32 805 美元（范围为 7396 美元至 76 154 美元），每次接触的中位费用为 223 美元（范围为 81 美元至 746 美元）。关于与麻疹相关的直接和间接成本的数据有限。这些发现强调了麻疹爆发的代价有多大、这些信息对公共卫生部门预算的价值，以及更广泛地记录麻疹爆发的成本的重要性。
