Patients in Poland, including asthmatics are beneficiaries of social security system in case of severe disease exacerbation. Usually sick leave due to uncontrolled asthma is enough to get better and come back to regular life, however some patients with permanent severe symptoms require invalidity pension to secure their social rights and life quality. Nowadays, the social security system is overloaded due to insufficiency of income versus expenditures, and asthma as disease might represent a significant part of this costs due to its prevalence. In this article we have analysed trends in asthma management at the social insurance financial perspective, comparing the asthma social security costs to the overall social security system expenses. The study and analyses are based on the Polish Social Security Institution (ZUS) data publicised in years 2010-2014(original abstract)
