摘要

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the relative inpatient costs of hospital-acquired conditions. METHODS: Patient level costs were estimated using computerized costing systems that log individual utilization of inpatient services and apply sophisticated cost estimates from the hospital's general ledger. Occurrence of hospital-acquired conditions was identified using an Australian 'condition-onset' flag for diagnoses not present on admission. These were grouped to yield a comprehensive set of 144 categories of hospital-acquired conditions to summarize data coded with ICD-10. Standard linear regression techniques were used to identify the independent contribution of hospital-acquired conditions to costs, taking into account the case-mix of a sample of acute inpatients (n = 1,699,997) treated in Australian public hospitals in Victoria (2005/06) and Queensland (2006/07). RESULTS: The most costly types of complications were post-procedure endocrine/metabolic disorders, adding AUDollars 21,827 to the cost of an episode, followed by MRSA (AUDollars 19,881) and enterocolitis due to Clostridium difficile (AUDollars 19,743). Aggregate costs to the system, however, were highest for septicaemia (AUDollars 41.4 million), complications of cardiac and vascular implants other than septicaemia (AUDollars 28.7 million), acute lower respiratory infections, including influenza and pneumonia (AUDollars 27.8 million) and UTI (AUDollars 24.7 million). Hospital-acquired complications are estimated to add 17.3% to treatment costs in this sample. CONCLUSIONS: Patient safety efforts frequently focus on dramatic but rare complications with very serious patient harm. Previous studies of the costs of adverse events have provided information on 'indicators' of safety problems rather than the full range of hospital-acquired conditions. Adding a cost dimension to priority-setting could result in changes to the focus of patient safety programmes and research. Financial information should be combined with information on patient outcomes to allow for cost-utility evaluation of future interventions.
