The latest official DRG-impact-evaluation by Fürstenberg et al. (2011) showed that average length of stay was further reduced within the DRG phase, and average overall costs did not grow faster than before G-DRG introduction (2% per year) [13].
The average overall costs were 5,815€ for cesarean sections, 4,064€ for vaginal instrumented delivery and 3,682€ for vaginal non-instrumented delivery.
The average overall cost to a landlord, including the land and building, is $1.3 million.
The average overall cost was 5,815€ for cesarean sections, 4,064€ for vaginal instrumented deliveries and 3,682€ for vaginal non-instrumented deliveries (p < 0.001).
A second limitation is related to the average overall cost of a marker-based tracking acquisition system, typically affordable only by clinical and research centres specialized in movement analysis.
The average overall cost of a delivery differed according to delivery type (Table 3) and was 5,815€ for cesarean section, 4,064€ for vaginal instrumented delivery and 3,682€ for vaginal non-instrumented delivery (p < 0.001 for the 3-group and all 2-by-2 comparisons).
16 The direct medical costs associated with initial and follow-up treatment of exposed health care workers has been documented to be $3,437 based on the treatment provided, 17 which results in a relatively small incremental cost of $1.26 compared with the average overall hospitalization costs for intravenous PCA patients.
14, 15 While the addition to average overall hospitalization costs of intravenous PCA patients due to development of phlebitis is low ($2.18), the incremental cost due to bacteremia is higher ($106.76).
The addition to the average overall hospitalization costs of intravenous PCA patients due to development of deep venous thrombosis was $18.17, for pulmonary embolism was $43.19, and for postoperative pneumonia was $265.02.
Based on the reported rate of 407 intravenous PCA medication errors and 17 device-related errors per 10,000 intravenous PCA patients annually, the addition to the average overall hospitalization costs for intravenous PCA patients due to these errors is $35.52.
While the average overall hospital cost per patient admitted to ICU was £20 000 (this includes non-survivors), the overall hospital cost per survivor of any CPC was £51 000 (£51698 000/33).
