Abstract

To understand the indirect hospitalization cost and its influencing factors, we selected 195 patients from three hospitals as samples and did a series of questionnaire survey. Adopting descriptive analysis and single factor analysis, we found that in different age group the patients of six to ten bear the most expensive indirect hospitalization cost. In addition, the indirect hospitalization cost of unemployed patients was higher than other occupations. The longer patients stay in hospital or hire carers, the higher they spend on indirect hospitalization cost. Among different diseases, the childhood leukemia bear the highest indirect hospitalization cost , then the colorectal cancer. The indirect hospitalization cost of hyperthyroidism patients was the lowest.
