ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the economic losses in kidney transplant patients with healthcare-associated lower respiratory tract infection(LRTI).Methods All transplant patients in a hospital from 2008 to 2012 were in-vestigated,patients with LRTI were in infection group(n=45),and patients without LRTI were in control group(n=266),hospitalization expenses and hospitalization days between two groups were compared.Results A total of 383 kidney transplant patients were included in the study,the incidence of LRTI was 11 .75% (n=45),median ex-pense of infection group and control group was ¥79 291 .82 and ¥72 185.14 respectively,the difference was not statistically significant (P >0.05).The largest increased expense in patients with LRTI was medicine (increased by¥5 429.82),medicine and examination expense in infection group were significantly higher than control group (¥39 123.17 vs ¥33 693.35;¥702.52 vs ¥593.73;P <0.05 ).The median hospitalization days in infection group and control group was 28.38 days and 21 .47 days respectively,there was significant difference between two groups(P <0.05 ).Conclusion Kidney transplant patients with LRTI suffer from a heavy financial burden,and their hospitalization days are prolonged,so measures should be taken to prevent the occurrence of LRTI and save limited medical resources.
