Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : This study analyzed the differences in length of stay(LoS), total hospital charges(THC), and cost of rehabilitation(CoR) between two types of stroke patients, intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) and cerebral infarction(CI). Factors associated with these differences were also assessed.
Methods : Data were obtained from the 2011 National Inpatient Sample data of Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. We used propensity score matching to match the characteristics of the two types of stroke patients, and conducted a regression analysis to analyze their associations.
Results : The differences between THC, LoS, and CoR by stroke and hospital types were shown. Each type of hospital showed different results.
Conclusions : A rapidly aging population will accelerate the number of stroke patients requiring effective management. Studies evaluating healthcare utilization of stroke patients will provide evidence for both healthcare resources allocation and healthcare policy decisions.
