Economic burden of cerebral infarction patients in a tertiary general hospital in Guangzhou
Objective This paper aims to analyze average hospitalization expenses,focusing on the structure of per pa-tient's personal costs,and the influencing factors,to provide reference for reducing the disease economic burden on patients.Methods Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to compare hospitalization expenses and their structures among cerebral infarction patients in a tertiary general hospital in Guangzhou from 2015 to 2022.Multilinear analysis was used to study the influ-encing factors of patient's personal costs.Results The growth of hospitalization expenses of cerebral infarction patients slowed down,with an average annual growth rate of 2.86％.The structure of hospitalization expenses was gradually optimized,with the average technical and labor costs accounting for 47.41％.The personal costs of cerebral infarction patients showed an increasing trend,with an average annual growth rate of 5.96％.This trend was influenced by factors such as hospitalization days,case clas-sification,payment patterns,and patient sources.Conclusion The economic burden of cerebral infarction remains heavy.Hos-pitals should continue to optimize clinical diagnosis and treatment practices to enhance clinical pathway management.Govern-ments should improve the social security system to reduce the economic burden of disease on patients.
