Comparative analysis and influencing factors of hospitalization expenses of three single diseases in a tertiary Class A general hospital.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo compare the hospitalization expenses among three single diseases in The First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University (a tertiary Class A general hospital), and analyze the factors affecting hospitalization costs, so as to provide some basis for controlling the unreasonable increase of hospitalization expenses as well as to render references for medical management.
methodsBy retrospective investigation, we selected the basic information of inpatient medical records and detailed billing of patients hospitalized in our hospital from Jan. 1, 2016 to Dec. 31, 2018. The collected data were sorted based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Finally, 1,199 cases of frequently-occurring diseases and common illnesses such as rectal cancer (RC), nodular goiter (NG) and chronic renal failure (hemodialysis, HD) (CRF) were selected to conduct descriptive statistics on influencing factors and cost structure. The influencing factors of hospitalization expenses were identified by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression analysis.
resultsThe hospitalization cost of inpatients with RC or CRF (HD) mainly spent on drugs, diagnosis and materials. As to NG, the cost of surgery, diagnosis and materials were the main components of hospitalization costs. Occupation and length of stay (LOS) were identified as the main influencing factors of hospitalization expenses for RC patients. While age and LOS were the main influencing factors of hospitalization cost for NG patients, and LOS alone for patients with CRF (HD). A across-sectional study was conducted on the CRF (HD) patients over 60 years old.
conclusionsIn order to reasonably control inpatient medical expenses, comprehensive intervention should be carried out in clinical work, from rational drug use and selection of consumables, to shorten the hospitalization days to an appropriate level and reduce the waste of medical resources.
