Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the economic burden associated with COVID-19 in Córdoba, Colombia, 2020 and 2021.
METHODS: Economic burden study. Direct costs were analyzed from the third-party payer perspective using healthcare administrative databases and interviews from a cohort of confirmed COVID-19 cases from Córdoba. Costing aggregation was performed by the bottom-up method. Indirect costs were estimated using the productivity loss approach. Contrast tests and statistical models were estimated at 5% significance.
RESULTS: We studied 1,800 COVID-19 cases. The average economic cost of COVID-19 per episode was estimated at US$ 2,519 (95%CI 1,980;3,047). The direct medical cost component accounted for 92.9% of the total; out-of-pocket and indirect costs accounted for 2% and 5.1%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 economic cost was mainly due to direct medical costs. This study provided evidence of the economic burden faced by households due to COVID-19, with the most vulnerable households bearing much of the burden on their income.

摘要：
目标：估计科尔多瓦与COVID-19相关的经济负担，哥伦比亚,2020年和2021年。
方法：经济负担研究。使用医疗保健管理数据库和来自科尔多瓦的一组确诊的COVID-19病例的访谈，从第三方付款人的角度分析了直接成本。通过自下而上的方法进行成本核算汇总。间接成本是使用生产率损失法估算的。对比试验和统计模型估计为5%显著性。
结果：我们研究了1800例COVID-19病例。每次COVID-19的平均经济成本估计为2,519美元(95CI1,980；3,047)。直接医疗费用部分占总额的92.9%;自费和间接成本分别占2%和5.1%,分别。
结论：COVID-19的经济成本主要是由于直接医疗费用。这项研究提供了家庭因COVID-19而面临的经济负担的证据，最脆弱的家庭承担了大部分收入负担。
