Abstract:Objective:Through analysis of inpatient expense of appendicitis and its influencing factors in a 3 A grade Hospital in Hainan Province, the paper aims to investigate the composition of inpatient expenses and the influencing factors, and thus offer reference for controlling excessive increase of inpatient expense.Methods:In the study, univariate analysis and multivariate analysis are used. Results: It is found that the percentage of the visible service (including examination expenses and laboratory test expenses) is on the high side, while the percentage of the invisible service fee (including operation expenses, nursing expenses and diagnostic expenses) is on the low side. Such four factors have significant effects on the impatient expense: the number of hospitalization days, age and gender of the patient, and whether the patient undergoes an operation or not. Suggestion: Medical service cost accounting should be strengthened; scientific and rational pricing mechanism should be set up; the growth of the visible service should be strictly controlled; and the invisible service should be compensated to a greater degree.
