Abstract EN
Healthcare associated infection (HAI) is known to increase the economic burden of patients while the medical cost due to MDRO HAI is even higher.
Three hundred eighty-one multidrug resistance organisms (MDROs) healthcare associated infection (HAI) case-patients and three hundred eighty-one matched control-patients were identified between January and December in 2015.
The average total hospitalization medical cost of the case group was $6127.65 and that of the control group was $2274.02.
The difference between the case group and the control group was statistically significant (t = 21.07; P < 0.01).
The attributable cost of MDRO HAI was $3853.63.
The direct medical costs due to different MDRO infections were different.
The increased medical costs of CR-AB, CR-KP, and CR-PA were significantly higher than that of MRSA, MRSE, ESBL E.
coli, and ESBL Kp (P < 0.
05).
Among the subitem expenses, the drug cost increased the most (the average cost was $1457.72), followed by the treatment fee and test fee; the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01).
