Analysis of Influencing Factors of Hospitalization Expenses of Elderly Patients in a Tertiary Hospital in Xinjiang
Objectives This study aims to explore the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses of elderly patients in a tertiary hospital in Xinjiang,and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for scientifically and reasonably reducing the burden of hospitalization expenses of elderly patients.Methods Excel 2023 was used to sort out the data of 5595 elderly patients aged 65 and above from January 1,2023 to September 30,2023 retrieved from the information system of a tertiary hospital in a certain area of Xinjiang.SPSS 26.0 software was used to perform univariate analysis and stepwise regression analysis to compare the differences in hospitalization expenses among different factors and explore the key influencing factors affecting hospitalization expenses.Results The results of single factor analysis showed that gender,age,department,diagnosis,type of insurance,length of stay and operation had an impact on hospitalization expenses,and the difference between different groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Stepwise regression analysis showed that the length of hospital stay(t=47.879,p=0.000＜0.01)and whether surgery was performed(t=15.419,p=0.000＜0.01)were the main factors affecting the hospitalization costs of elderly patients.Conclusions In the composition of hospitalization expenses of elderly patients,examination expenses and drug expenses have the greatest impact on the hospitalization expenses of elderly patients.Strengthening the training of comprehensive quality of medical staff,carrying out health education for the elderly,providing targeted medical services,and shortening hospitalization days can effectively control the unreasonable growth of hospitalization expenses of elderly patients and reduce the hospitalization burden of patients.
