摘要

背景:伤害对每个社会的社区都是一个重大的经济问题。在这种环境下,旨在估计伤害管理费用的研究非常有限。材料与方法:选取在尼日利亚伊洛林大学教学医院急诊科就诊的外伤性损伤患者。这些费用被分成不同的类别。结果:在所招募的165例患者中,大多数为年轻成年男性。每次伤害的平均直接成本为N4061(27.1美元),其中药品成本占成本的最大份额。随着受伤程度的增加,所产生的费用也越来越高。结论:从本研究中得出的伤害管理的直接成本代表了该环境中低收入人群的重大经济流失。将这些医疗费用估计外推到尼日利亚的致命伤害以及更大的非致命伤害负担上,就会暴露出个人和社区的巨大财政流失。

Costs of management of injuries in emergency room patients in Ilorin
Background: Injuries pose a significant economic problem to communities in every society. Studies aimed at estimating the costs of management of injuries are very limited in this environment. Materials and Methods: The patients who presented to the emergency unit of the University Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria, with traumatic injuries were recruited. The expenses were classified into various groups. Results: Of the 165 patients recruited, majority were young adult men. The mean direct cost per injury was N4061 ($27.1) with the cost of drugs accounting for the largest share of the costs. The costs incurred were higher with the increasing severity of injury. Conclusion: The direct costs of management of injuries from this study represent a significant economic drain to the low-income population of this environment. Extrapolating these cost estimates of medical treatment to the fatal as well as the even larger non-fatal injury burden in Nigeria exposes the immense financial drain to the individual and community.
