Abstract

Objective: Increased health cost, which is one of the major problems of countries, makes cost analysis studies become important in specific age groups and clinics. Although the aged population has an enormous role in increasing health costs, there are not much data about follow-up and treatment costs of geriatric patients in the Emergency Departments. We believe that the data obtained from this study would help to improve some arrangements about the geriatric population in ED s including cost and efficiency. Material and Methods: In this study, we have included patients 65 years and above who were admitted to the Emergency Department from 01 January 2011 to 31 March 2011. We gathered data from detailed examination of computer records and the surveys of patients which we obtained at the first admission. We also used computer and billing records to calculate the total cost of patient application and the distribution of this cost into subgroups. Results: Avarage cost of 536 geriatric patients (40.3% early, 48.1% middle and 11.6% late geriatric age group) who were admitted to the Emergency Department was 137.5±98.6 TL. Also there were statistically significant correlations between costs and count of consultations, staying time in the Emergency Department, hospitalisation, and presence of coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure. Conclusion: In this study, we believe the results, which emphasize elderly patient characteristics and cost elements, might reduce costs to society and social security institution and also it can form a basis for large scale studies in the future.

Özet

Amaç: Çoğu ülkenin son yıllarda yaşadığı önemli sorunlardan biri olan sağlık harcamalarındaki artış, spesifik yaş gruplarında ve kliniklerde maliyet analizi çalışmalarını gündeme getirmiştir. Sağlık harcamalarındaki artışta nüfusun yaşlanmasının etkisi bilinmekle birlikte, acil servislerde geriatrik hastaların takip ve tedavi maliyeti ile ilgili veriler sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen ve- riler dikkate alınarak, acil sağlık sistemi içinde geriatrik hastalarda, maliyet ve verimlilik de dâhil olmak üzere bazı yeni düzenlemeler ile ilgili öneriler sunul- ması hedeflenmektedir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya 1 Ocak 2011-31 Mart 2011 tarihleri arasında acil servise başvuran 65 yaş ve üzeri hastalar dâhil edildi. Hastalara ait veriler, ilk başvuru esnasında hazırlanan hasta formlarına kaydedilen bilgiler ve bilgisayar kayıtları incelenerek toplandı ve analiz edildi. Bilgisayar ve fatura- lama kayıtlarından hastanın başvurusunun acil servise toplam maliyeti ve bu maliyetin alt gruplar arasında dağılımı tespit edildi. Bulgular: Acil Servise başvuran, %40,3ü erken, %48,1i orta, %11,6sı ileri geriatrik yaş grubunda olmak üzere 536 geriatrik hastanın ortalama maliyeti 137,51±98,60 TL idi. Maliyet ile konsültasyon sayısı, acil serviste kalış süresi, hastaneye yatış, koroner arter hastalığı, konjestif kalp yetmezliği ve son dönem böbrek yetmezliği varlığı arasında anlamlı ilişki vardı. Sonuç: Acil servislerdeki yaşlı hasta özelliklerini ve maliyet unsurlarını vurgulayan bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar; acil servise başvuran geriatrik hastaların, Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumuna ve topluma maliyetlerinin azaltılması yönünden ileriye dönük geniş ölçekli çalışmalara yön verebilir.
