Factors Related to The Real Costs for Stroke Patients in The Hospitals, Yogyakarta City, Indonesia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Stroke is a main cause of mortality and disability, resulting in severe, moderate, and mild impairments that need expensive medical care. This research aims to identify the variables affecting the actual expenses of treating stroke patients in Indonesian hospitals in the Yogyakarta region.
Method: This study was carried out using a cross-sectional design and an analytical observational technique based on variable instruments used to measure the real costs for stroke patients. The total population amounted to 416 respondents using the total sampling method. Inclusion criteria include national health insurance patients, first-attack ischemic stroke, onset less than 24 hours and non-referral. Retrospective data collection of inpatients was observed from October 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, for six months. Research data secondary data sourced from medical records, International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), and hospital Technology Units. Analysis of statistical data using the Chi-square test.
Result: Age, gender, length of stays, inpatient classes, and hospital type have been identified as variables related to the real cost of stroke patients in the hospitals with a p-value < 0.05.
Conclusion: All variables examined in this study are connected to the expenses incurred by stroke victims in hospitals. However, several files of medical records cannot be identified in the study which means that other variables like comorbidities might also related to inpatient costs of stroke patients and need to be analysed for future study.
