Abstract:
Objective To analyze the influencing factors of hospitalization costs in patients with occupational noise-induced deafness (ONID), and provide evidence for health policy development. Methods A total of 109 ONID patients in a hospital for occupational disease prevention and treatment in Guangdong Province were collected from 2018 to 2022 as the study subjects using a retrospective analysis method. Hospitalization information was collected, and influencing factors of hospitalization costs were analyzed. Results The average hospitalization cost per admission from 2018 to 2022 was 26 948.1, 27 805.0, 25 291.1,20 741.2 and 18 865.1 yuan, respectively, showing a downward trend. Grey relational analysis showed that the top three cost components most closely associated with the average hospitalization cost per admission were treatment expenses, medical service fees, and other expenses, with correlation coefficients of 0.786 1, 0.720 4, and 0.654 3, respectively. Univariate logistic regression analysis indicated that length of hospital stay was the primary influencing factor for average hospitalization cost per admission (P<0.01). Conclusion It is recommended to optimize clinical care pathways, improve diagnostic and treatment techniques, and reduce hospital stay duration, to lower the hospitalization costs of ONID patients.
