Cost Analysis and Influencing Factors Amongst Severe Burn Patients
Abstract:
This study analyzed the structure and determined the factors affecting the cost of treatment of severe burns patients. The results showed that the average total costs for a patient was 3275.9 USD. The daily cost of hospitalization was 113.3 USD, the treatment cost for 1% burn surface area was 109.5 USD with the highest proportion for medication and consumable medical equipment (43.2%), followed by surgery and procedures (30.2%). The treatment costs increased with increasing age, burn extent and deep burn area (p < .05) and were significantly higher in the group of patients with inhalation injury, electrical burns and in non-survivors (p < .01). Multivariate regression analysis found that burn extent, deep burn area and inhalation injury independently influenced the treatment cost of burn patients.
