This difference in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 was −1419 RMB (−228 USD), −1088 RMB (−158 USD), −1585 RMB (−246 USD), and −1034 RMB (−154 USD), respectively. All differences in predicted marginal hospitalization cost between DRG and DIP was significant (<em>P</em>&lt;.001), after controlling for patients’ age, sex, public or private hospital, the type of disease, and the length of stay of hospitalization.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>The findings of DIP payment reduced the rehabilitation hospitalization cost would be helpful in developing more effectively and efficiently tailored interventions for rehabilitation health care in China. Furthermore, the results of this study could provide advice on building more effective strategies and intervention options for other countries that struggle with controlling rehabilitation hospitalization costs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72291,"journal":{"name":"Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation","volume":"6 3","pages":"Article 100357"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590109524000557/pdfft?md5=d9b23f1bae5a57f88cebd57410905012&pid=1-s2.0-S2590109524000557-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141710512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
