Economic Burden of Diabetes Mellitus on Patients with Respiratory Failure Requiring Mechanical Ventilation during Hospitalizations

چکیده
Objectives: To examine the economic burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) on medical expenditure among patients with respiratory failure (RF) requiring mechanical ventilation during hospitalization. Methods: We extracted the data from Taiwan National Health Research Insurance Database for those adult patients on their first hospitalization for RF requiring mechanical ventilation between 2004 and 2010. We examined associations between medical expenditure and the presence of comorbid DM. We performed independent t tests, chisquare tests, and multivariate linear regression analysis to identify factors associated with excess medical expenditure. Results: Of 347,961 patients hospitalized with first occurrence of RF requiring mechanical ventilation, 123,023 (35.36%) patients were documented to have a previous diagnosis of DM. Patients with RF and DM were sicker and consumed more health care resources than did patients with RF without DM. After adjusting for the specified covariates, mechanically see front matter Copyright & 2014, International S

متن کاملTime to Intubation Is Associated with Outcome in Patients with Community-Acquired Pneumonia
INTRODUCTION It has been suggested that delayed intensive care unit (ICU) transfer is associated with increased mortality for patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, ICU admission policies and patient epidemiology vary widely across the world depending on local hospital practices and organizational constraints. We hypothesized that the time from the onset of CAP symptoms to i...
