چکیده
• The CAWR patient population was defined by adopting the approach described in DeNoto et al, 20135 • A cohort of patients with CAWR during inpatient stays between1/1/08 and 6/30/11 (Index event) were followed for 12 months. • Related complications, returns for facility-based care and related costs were evaluated during the index hospitalization and for 30-60-90-365 days after discharge. • Insurance claims from the Truven Health Analytics MarketScan® database, inpatient costs from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) and costs reported for Ambulatory Patient Classifications (APC) were used to estimate costs (USD) from the hospital perspective. • Costs attributed to each complication category included costs for visits and admissions for which the complication was a reported diagnosis. • The incremental cost of a complication during the index hospitalization was created by subtracting the average cost of an uncomplicated index event from the average cost of index events with the complication. • All costs were normalized to 2013 dollars at 3% per annum
