HIGHLIGHTS Varicella and its complications lead to significant primary healthcare resource use because of its high incidence with each episode leading to 1 healthcare visit on average. Varicella-related primary healthcare visits account for 30% to 80% of total direct costs. Varicella-related hospitalizations contribute between 2% and 60% to total direct costs. Varicella-related hospitalizations may occur both in children and adults, with costs ranging between $1,308 and $38,268 per episode depending on severity, complication type and length of stay. Indirect costs are mostly driven by workdays lost and account for approximately two-thirds of total costs.
