Abstract
Mean cost per stay was â¬676.71, and â¬4,309.02 per episode. Complications appeared in 639 patients (11%). Admission to ICU was required in 203 patients, re-operation in 134 and re-admission in 243, while 66 patients died (1.1%). Complications caused significantly longer LOS (20.08 vs 5.48 days) and higher economic cost (â¬11,670.31 vs â¬3,354.12); infectious complications were the most frequent and respiratory the most expensive (â¬20,428.53), together with ICU admission (â¬20,242.66). Clavien-Dindo grade correlated with greater LOS and costs (except grade v). During vacation periods, complications and LOS are increased, but costs of these complications and LOS did not differ significantly from complications detected in non-vacation periods.
