  • Study on the economic burden of healthcare-associated infections in Sichuan Province

    ObjectiveTo measure and evaluate the economic burden of hospital infection in Sichuan, and provide a basis for targeted economic evaluation of healthcare-associated infection (HAI).MethodsIn hospitals participating in the 2016 Sichuan provincial prevalence survey of HAI, matched cases were used to extract cases and controls, and then a multi-center nested case-control study was conducted.ResultsA total of 225 pairs/450 patients were selected in 51 hospitals, and 175 pairs/350 patients were successfully matched. The median of the difference of hospitalization costs between matched-pairs were RMB 3 362.0, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=3.275, P<0.001).ConclusionsThe hospitalization costs caused by HAI should be given special attention in the current medical insurance reform. Efforts need to be taken to reduce the hospitalization costs caused by HAI.
