Abstract

This study analyzed the structure and determined the factors affecting the cost of treatment for severe burns patients. The results showed that the average total cost for a patient was 75.3 million VND. Which, the rate of health insurance cost accounted for 58.1%. The daily cost of hospitalization was 2.6 million VND, the cost for 1% BSA was 2.5 million VND.
The drugs and supplies accounted for the largest fraction of the total costs (43.2%), followed by surgery and procedures (30.2%). The costs increased with increasing age, burn extent and deep burn area (p < 0.05) and were significantly higher in the group of patients with inhalation injury, electrical burns and non-survivors (p < 0.01). Multivariate regression analysis found that burn extent, deep burn area and inhalation injury independently influenced the cost of treating burn patients.
