Abstract:
Objective:To explore the influential factors for hospitalization costs regarding the final phase of malignant tumor patients in Shanghai,and to explore the relevant policy for reasonable control of hospitalization costs.Methods:A total of 10 065 patients with malignant tumors were enrolled in this study.The multiple linear regression analysis was used to seek the determinants for hospitalization cost of malignant tumor patients during the final phase.Results:The median length of hospital stay was 43 days for the patients,with an average age of (70.73±12.87) years.Among them 61.66％ of hospitalized patients were male and the median hospitalization cost of malignancy was 55 447.84 yuan.Hospitalization cost showed the linear regression relationship with type of health care,hospital level,hospital types,tumor types,length of hospital stay,surgery,age,gender,and time from hospital admission to death.Conclusion:Proximity to death in malignant tumor patients is an important factor for the hospitalization cost.Medical resources should be allocated rationally,and the comprehensive measures should be taken to control the cost reasonably.
