Total costs, treatment costs, laboratory testing fees, consultation fees, and bed fees were lower in older nondiabetic patients than in younger nondiabetic patients (P<0.05), and the mean hospital stay was shorter for older nondiabetics than for younger nondiabetics (P<0.05).
Older diabetic patients incurred lower total costs, treatment costs, laboratory testing fees, consultation fees, and bed fees than younger diabetic patients (P<0.05), and the mean hospital stay was shorter for older diabetics than for younger diabetics (P<0.05).
In addition, older patients with diabetes incurred lower total costs, treatment costs, total drug costs, inspection fees, consultation fees, and bed fees than younger patients without diabetes (P<0.05), and mean hospital stay was shorter for older diabetics than for younger diabetics (P<0.05, Table 3).
