呼吸道融合病毒(Respiratory Syncytial Virus以下簡稱RSV)是引
起嬰幼兒的細支氣管炎及肺炎排名第一的病毒。因台灣位處於亞熱帶區域
，並沒有所謂的高峰期，幾乎整年都有病例產生。幾乎每一位嬰兒在兩歲
以前都會感染RSV病毒，RSV病毒對嬰兒及幼小兒童會造成特別嚴重的影響
。根據研究指出，有60～80％新生兒在出生第一年受到感染RSV病毒，幾乎
100％的兒童在第二年內感染病毒。而在受感染的的新生兒中有極高的可能
引發細支氣管炎或肺炎，及復原後的後遺症，哮喘及氣喘。這些新生兒將
較一般嬰兒需要更多的醫療照護及呼吸器治療。
研究目的是為了瞭解在台灣的高風險族群中及一般出生的新生兒因RSV病毒感染而住院的比率？以及針對中央健康局若將高危險族群幼兒列
入使用Palivizumab以預防呼吸道融合病毒感染的健保給付項目中，將對中
央健康局的全民健保成本所造成的衝擊評估及影響。
研究方法是建立一個成本效益評估模型後，比較實驗組及控制組所形
成的醫療費用。並計算出避免一個病人住院的成本（CHP）。
結果顯示在1,228個高風險新生兒的實驗模型中，避免一個高風險嬰兒
因感染RSV病毒而住院的費用（CHP）平均為台幣867,187元/每年。若以類別區分：第一類：≦28週的早產兒的（CHP）值平均為台幣816,991元/每年、第二類：一歲以下有慢性肺部疾病（BPD/CLD）的嬰兒（CHP）值平均為台幣1,714,226元/每年、第三類：一歲以下有先天性心臟病（CHD）的嬰兒的
（CHP）值平均為台幣626,330元/每年。
依據敏感性分析結果：CHP值最低為台幣474,483元/每年，最高為台幣1,803,183元/每年。若依類別區分：第一類：≦28週的早產兒的（CHP）值最低為台幣566,001元/每年，最高為台幣1,159,250元/每年、第二類：一歲以下有慢性肺部疾病（BPD/CLD）的嬰兒（CHP）值最低台幣為922,234
元/每年，最高為台幣4,011,003元/每年、第三類：一歲以下有先天性心臟病（CHD）的嬰兒的（CHP）值最低為台幣307,524元/每年，最高為台幣
1,555,027元/每年。
結論是在中華民國中，高風險嬰兒因感染RSV病毒而住院的比例達到
24.76％，遠高於一般出生嬰兒因感染RSV病毒而住院的比率千分之5.6。因
此如何減少高風險的嬰兒因感染RSV病毒而住院的問題應該被考慮。

Respiratory syncytial virus is cause the thin bronchitis
and pneumonia of baby's infant to rank the first of virus.Because Taiwan is located in a subtropical region, there is no peak,almost all cases arising throughout the year.Almost every baby will be
infected RSV before the age of two,RSV to infants and young children
can cause a particularly severe impact.According to research,60~ 80%
of newborns infected at birth and the first year of RSV virus,almost
100% of children infected virus in the second year.And in infected
newborns have very high may lead to bronchiolitis or pneumonia,and its long term sequelae after recovery,wheezing and asthma.These
newborn baby will need more than the average medical care and
treatment of breathing apparatus.
Comparison of the high-risk groups and Newborns born by the
general RSV infection and the rate of hospitalization? If the National Health Insurance for the high-risk groups included the use of child care Palivizumab to prevent respiratory syncytial virus infection in the National Health Insurance Project,the Central Health Council of thenational health insurance costs to assess the
impact and influence.
Assessment of the establishment of a cost-effective model,the
experimental group and control group formed by medical costs.And calculated to avoid Cost per Hospitalization Prevented(CHP) of a
patient.
The results showed that in 1,228 high-risk newborns in the
experimental model. The cost of hospitalization to prevented a high
risk infants RSV virus infection average need NT 867,187/ year.In
terms of categories:Category 1:≦28 weeks premature infant's CHP
average need NT 816,991/year.Category 2:Children’s under 1 years
of age with chronic lung disease/Bronchopulmonary dysplasia CHP average need NT 1,714,226/year.Category 3:Children’s under one year
of age with chronic heart disease CHP average need NT 626,330/year.
The cost of hospitalization to prevented a high-risk infants RSV virus infection minimum is NT474,483/year, maximum is NT 1,803,183
/year.In terms of categories:Category 1:The cost of hospitalization
to prevented RSV virus infection minimum is NT 566,001/year,maximum
is NT 1,159,250/year.Category 2:The cost of hospitalization to
prevented RSV virus infection minimum is NT 922,234/year,maximum is NT 4,011,003/year.Category 3:The cost of hospitalization to prevented RSV virus infection minimum is NT 307,524/year,maximum is
NT 1,555,027/year.
In the Republic of China,the high-risk infants infected with RSV
virus by the ratio of hospital is 24.76%,much higher than the general-born babies had been infected with RSV hospitalization rate of the virus is 5.6 per thousand.To reduce high-risk infants from
RSV infection in hospitalized should be considered.
