A 5-Year Longitudinal Retrospective Cohort Study of Health Care Use and Costs Before and After Incident Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
Objective
To examine trends in health care use and cost before and after incident traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) in the United States.
Design
Retrospective cohort study.
Setting
Using 2012-2019 claims data from the Health Care Cost Institute, we identified adults (45+) with a diagnosis of incident TSCI (n=251). Using age, sex, and a set of chronic conditions, we matched 2480 adults without TSCI (controls) with our cases. Health care use and costs were analyzed for cases and controls for 5 years. We used 2-part generalized estimating equations to predict any health care use/costs and positive use/costs in inpatient, outpatient, professional, and prescription drug settings, as well as total and out-of-pocket health care costs.
Participants
Adults with and without TSCI.
Intervention
Not applicable.
Main Outcomes Measures
Health care use and costs.
Results
Incident TSCI was associated with an increase in total and out-of-pocket costs of health care (excluding the month of injury) during the first year of injury compared with the matched controls by odds ratio=7.72 (95% CI: 5.86, 10.16) and odds ratio=2.02 (95% CI: 1.59, 2.55), respectively. Higher costs were mainly attributed to inpatient ($55,494; 95% CI: $40,230, $76,549) and professional services ($17,973; 95% CI: $13,525, $23,885). TSCI was associated with a decrease in health care costs in the 3 years after the incident but was also associated with higher costs than those of controls. TSCI was associated with an increase in the number of outpatient (7.44-9.01) and inpatient services (1.25-1.96) during the fifth year. Health care use and costs remained stable among controls throughout the 5-year study period.
Conclusions
TSCI was associated with a higher total and out-of-pocket cost of health care in the year of incident compared with controls. After the first year, the associated costs of TSCI sharply declined but remained slightly higher than those of controls.
期刊介绍:
The Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation publishes original, peer-reviewed research and clinical reports on important trends and developments in physical medicine and rehabilitation and related fields. This international journal brings researchers and clinicians authoritative information on the therapeutic utilization of physical, behavioral and pharmaceutical agents in providing comprehensive care for individuals with chronic illness and disabilities.
Archives began publication in 1920, publishes monthly, and is the official journal of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine. Its papers are cited more often than any other rehabilitation journal.
