Cost Analysis of Hospital Treatment for Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Peritonitis.
Background: Increasing healthcare spending is a significant issue, with the aging population contributing to a rise in patients needing renal replacement therapy. The cost of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is substantial, particularly in upper-middle-income countries like Serbia. We aimed to identify the direct costs and influencing factors of treating peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PD associate peritonitis) in Serbia.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on consecutive patients admitted due to PD-associated peritonitis in five tertiary care hospitals across Serbia in 2019-2022. The primary outcome was total cost of hospitalization. Potential predictors were determined using generalized linear model with a gamma probability distribution and a log link function.
Results: The study included 122 patients. The average total cost per patient was 1131.90±1538.67 USD, with the cost of hospitalization (348.17 ± 361.52 USD) and antibiotics (294.94±465.88 USD) being the most significant. The length of hospitalization (P<0.001) and treatment outcome (P<0.001) were found to be significant predictors of the total cost.
Conclusion: The costs of treating PD associate peritonitis in Serbia are substantial, with each additional day of hospitalization significantly increasing the cost. The importance of patient and doctor education about infection prevention is underscored by the health consequences and the lengthy, expensive treatment when an infection occurs.
期刊介绍:
Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
