Disease relevance of Hospital Costs

 

High impact information on Hospital Costs

  • RESULTS.--Neonatal hospital costs until medically cleared for discharge were $5200 more for cocaine-exposed infants than for unexposed infants (a difference of $7957 vs $2757 [P = .003]) [6].
  • CONCLUSIONS: The major determinants of total excess cost were the control risk of hospitalization, the proportional reduction in risk with HGF, and the average daily hospital cost [7].
  • RESULTS: Hospital costs from the time of first dose to discharge were significantly higher for all patients who received liposomal amphotericin B ($48,962 v $43,183; P =.022) [8].
  • Hospital costs were significantly higher for GM-CSF-treated patients if GM-CSF was included in the price (median costs, $4,140 [US] for GM-CSF v $590 for placebo; P < .05) [9].
  • Persons with RA in the worst quartile of function experienced total annual direct costs that were 2.55 times as high and total hospital costs that were 6.97 times as high as those in the best (e.g., the first) quartile [10].

Gene context of Hospital Costs

  • Median hospital cost associated with treatment of patients with MRSA infections was higher compared with patients with MSSA infections ($16,575 vs $12,862; p = 0.11); however, this difference was not statistically significant [19].
  • Reports are rendered "as soon as possible" (ASAP) expediting appropriate clinical management and decreased length of stay and hospital costs [20].
  • Therefore, it appears that the benefits of MARS therapy are enough to justify the cost of treatment and safe hospital costs, at least in the described population [21].
  • There were no significant differences in the mean length of hospital stay (6.3 +/- 6.7 versus 6.2 +/- 6.8 days; P = 0.47) or hospital cost ($8,920 +/- $11,511 versus $7,785 +/- $7,643; P = 0.33) between the surgery and angioplasty groups [22].
  • Overall, recurrent hospital costs were significantly lower (14%) in the HBI group (mean +/- SD, 823 dollars +/- 1642 dollars vs 960 dollars +/- 1376 dollars per patient per year; P = .045) [23].
