1.Analysis of the hospitalization expenditure of cervical cancer patients and influencing factors
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2012;28(6):422-426
Objective To analyze the variations and influencing factors of hospitalization expenditure of cervical cancer patients among urban employees in Beijing from 2006 to 2010,and to provide evidences for developing reasonable measures of medical expenses control.Methods Based on the hospitalization expenditure data of 1146 cervical cancer cases,the paper probed into the changes of hospitalization age and hospitalization expenditure,and the influencing factors of hospitalization expenditure by means of descriptive analysis and multiple stepwise regression.Results The last 5 years witnessed no significant change in the first hospitalization age of cervical cancer patients,rise of hospitalization age,gradual rise of the hospitalization expenditure per time along with their age groups,as well as a rising trend of the average hospitalization expenses,average drug cost and proportion of average drug cost year by year.Results of the multiple stepwise linear regression showed that days of stay,proportion of drug cost and surgery or not as important influencing factors for hospitalization expenditure.Conclusion Hospitalization expenditure of cervical cancer keeps growing.Against this background,reasonable shortening of the days of stay,reasonable setup of an appropriate proportion of out-of-pocket payment,and reduction of the proportion of drug costs become effective means to reduce hospitalization expenditure.
2.Analysis on hospitalization expenses of elderly inpatients covered by medical insurance in Beijing and the influential factors
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2013;29(7):499-502
Objective To analyze hospitalization expenses and influential factors of elderly inpatients with medical insurance,and to provide scientific evidences for curbing hospitalization expenses and adjusting medical insurance policy.Methods Based on hospitalization data derived from Beijing town during 2007-2011 from 65082 elderly urban inpatients under medical insurance,descriptive analysis and multiple stepwise linear regression methods were used to analyze the hospitalization expense and its influential factors.Results The last 5 year witnessed rising hospitalization expense and average hospitalization expense per admission of elderly patients with medical insurance; among the components of hospitalization expense,cardiovascular/cerebrovascular/tumor/respiratory system diseases cause the heaviest medical burden; days of stay,hospital level,out-of-pocket proportion are the most important influential factors on their hospitalization expense per time.Conclusion The hospitalization expense of elderly patients with medical insurance keeps growing.Therefore,shorter days of stay,rational referral of patients to appropriate hospitals,adjusting out-of-pocket proportion would be effective measures of curbing hospitalization expense.

A comparison was made for the correlation and application scope of the statistical methods commonly used by hospitals for their efficiency measurement.Hospital data processed with PCA (principal component analysis)for dimension reduction were used in a correlation analysis for the results of ratio analysis (RA),stochastic frontier analysis(SFA)and data envelopment analysis(DEA).The authors hold that the RA can expediently display the order of hospital efficiency,the SFA demands a stricter premise yet presents more stable results,while the DEA boasts greater relative advantages and thus suitable for processing hospital efficiency measurement tasks of multi-input and multi-output indexes.

Objective To evaluate the concentration of urinary cadmium and serum sex hormone in cadmium-exposed male workers and explore the affecting factors and related mechanism.Methods The individuals exposed to cadmium from three workshops 40 in each, in a cadmium rechargeable battery manufacture plant were selected as the exposure groups according to concentrations of cadmium oxide in the workplace in November 2008, namely assembly, charging and butt-weld workshop for low, moderate and high dosage group.Another forty male workers without cadmium exposure of the same plant were selected as the control group.Urinary cadmium, serum testosterone,FSH and LH concentrations were measured and urinary cadmium concentration abnormity rate was calculated for the following analysis.Results Compared with the control group, the urinary cadmium concentration and its abnormity rate of the low and high dosage groups were all significantly increased(P9 years groups were all significantly increased(P

Under the socialist market-oriented economic system, state-owned hospitals need to overcome many problems in their traditional management system. The authors discuss a series of issues, including the property right involved in the reform of the management system of state-owned hospitals; the relationships between nonprofit hospitals run by the government and ways of handling them; the conditions of using the corporation management structure in hospitals; the responsibilities of the government in the framework of medical services and the form in which the government supervises state-owned hospitals. Lastly, the authors put forward suggestions from the perspective of policy-making on the reform of the management system of state-owned hospitals.

Objective Probing into a way to reform the assessment indexing of diagnosis and treatment in clinical specialties, to help with objective assessment and ranking among hospitals in terms of the performances of their respective specialties. Methods Treatment outcomes of the diseases pinpointed by heart physicians and urology surgeons of three hospitals in 2005 as the criteria to calculate the adjusted value for fatality rate and cure rate. Results The adjusted value of fatality rate for the heart physicians is CFR≥1, and that of cure rate for the urology surgeons is CFR≤1. A trial assessment is made based on these figures, and a ranking is achieved on the diagnosis and treatment outcomes of the clinical medicine specialties in these three hospitals as a result. Conclusions Diseases as the assessment levels for medical quality of clinical medicine specialties and relative risks as the core computation adjusted factor, may help yield the indexes and methodology for clinical medicine specialties in line with China's specifics.

Objective To verify whether the concomitant performance of modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy and penectomy may increase complications and compromise oncological effectiveness.Methods From June 2002 to June 2010,a total of 110 simultaneous inguinal lymphadenectomies were performed on 55 patients (mean age 49 years),including 107 modified radical lymphadenectomies,2 radical lymphadenectomies and 1 lymphadenectomy before which the sapheous vein was resected.The records of all patients were reviewed.Results Of 107 simultaneously modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy,only 1 (0.9%) had wound infection.There were 18 ( 16.8% ) leg lymphedema and 6 (5.6%) skin flap necrosis,postoperatively.The average number of inguinal lymph nodes dissected was 11 (3 -23 ).Overall 3-year survival was 84%.Conclusions Penile surgery combined with simultaneously modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy could be feasible,which may have oncological control without increasing the risk of surgical complications.

Objective To report a modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy the aim of which is to reduce the incidence of the complication of skin necrosis.Methods One hundred and twenty-six modified radical inguinal dissections were performed in 63 patients with penile carcinoma from June 2002 to June 2010.A modified radical inguinal dissection characterized by an S-shaped incision and precisely separating layers using an anatomical mark was performed.The boundaries of dissection were the same as classic radical inguinal lymphadenectomy.The incidences of complications of skin flap necrosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results The follow-up time ranged from 12 to 93 months.A total of 37 complications occurred,including 7 minimal skin necroses (5.6%),3 wound infections (2.4%),19 lymphedemas (15.1%),2 seroma formations (1.6%),5 lymphocele (4.0%),and 1 deep venous thrombosis (0.8%).There were no complications in 106 dissections (84.1% ),and 20 dissections had one or two minor complications ( 15.9% ).Conclusions The complication of skin necrosis related to groin dissection in patients with penile carcinoma could be reduced by using this modified inguinal dissection technique,which characterized by an S-shaped incision and precisely separating layers with using an anatomical landmark.
