This study uses data collected from the Taiwan~s National Health Research Institute~s 2001-2003 National Health Insurance Research Database. We estimated contributors to increased expenditures of hospitalization using three-stage least square regression model. The hospital expenditures for the treatment of AMI averaged NT$126,366 (US$3829, US$1=NT$33) per discharge, with the largest proportion (27%) spent on room expenditures. They were strongly impacted by length of stay, increasing around 4.8% per day. We conclude that hospital expenditures for the treatment of AMI patients may vary widely depending on the characteristics of the hospital and physicians that provide them care. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=14038 ------>authors2=Liu TC ------>authors3=Chiu WT ------>authors4=Lin HC ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Chen CS ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Impact of hospital and physician characteristics on medical expenditures for acute myocardial infarction hospitalization. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2006 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=1 |
