Abstract EN
With the growing number of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and hospitalization cases, the overall medical care cost elevates significantly in consequence.
A total of 2458 hospitalizations, involving 1401 patients with IBD, were included from two large medical centers.
Hospitalization costs and factors impacting cost changes were determined.
Patients with IBD and frequency of hospitalizations increased significantly from 2003 to 2011 (P<0.001).
The annual hospitalization cost per patient, cost per hospitalization, and daily cost during hospitalization increased significantly in the past decade (all P<0.001).
However, length of stay decreased significantly (P<0.001).
Infliximab was the most significant factor associated with higher hospitalization cost (OR = 44380.09, P<0.001).
Length of stay (OR = 1.29, P<0.001), no medical insurance (OR = 1.31, P=0.017), CD (OR = 3.55, P<0.001), inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (IBDU) (OR = 4.30, P<0.0001), poor prognosis (OR = 6.78, P<0.001), surgery (OR = 3.16, P<0.001), and endoscopy (OR = 2.44, P<0.001) were found to be predictors of higher hospitalization costs.
Patients with IBD and frequency of hospitalizations increased over the past decade.
CD patients displayed a special one peak for age at diagnosis, which was different from UC patients.
The increased hospitalization costs of IBD patients may be associated with infliximab, length of stay, medical insurance, subtypes of IBD, prognosis, surgery, and endoscopy.
