目的 通过构建结构方程模型,分析某三级甲等综合医院腹股沟疝患者住院费用的影响因素,旨在为合理控制腹股沟疝单病种费用提供依据。方法 收集4 328份高州市人民医院2016—2022年主要诊断疾病名称为腹股沟疝且行腹股沟疝手术的患者的病历资料,预分析单个影响因素,采用AMOS28.0拟合构建模型。结果 结构方程模型拟合达到标准。性别、年龄、费别、住院次数、入院途径、伴随病、单双侧疝对总费用所产生的总效应数值分别为0.008、-0.044、0.062、0.014、-0.119、0.106、0.236;性别、年龄、费别、住院次数、入院途径、伴随病、单双侧疝通过住院时间间接对住院费用产生影响。结论 对住院费用产生的影响因素有性别、年龄、费别、住院次数、入院途径、伴随病、单双侧疝、住院时间,建议推行患者预住院模式及日间手术,在正式住院前完成相关检查,优化医疗服务流程,从而合理有效控制单病种住院费用。

Objective By utilizing a structural equation model, to analyze determinants that affect the hospitalization costs for individuals with inguinal hernia at a tertiary-level comprehensive medical center, offering insights for the potential management of costs associated with this specific ailment. Methods This study entailed the compilation of 4 328 patient files from individuals who received surgical treatment for inguinal hernia at a third-level general hospital over the period spanning 2016 to 2022. Preliminary analysis was conducted on isolated variables, followed by the development of a model using AMOS 28. 0 for fit assessment. Results The fitting of structural equation model reached the standard. The total effect values of gender, age, cost, number of hospitalizations, admission route, concomitant disease, unilateral and bilateral hernia on the total cost were 0. 008, -0. 044, 0. 062, 0. 014, -0. 119, 0. 106, 0. 236, respectively. Gender, age, cost, number of hospitalizations, admission route, concomitant disease, unilateral and bilateral hernia indirectly affected hospitalization expenses through hospitalization days. Conclusions Gender, age, cost, number of hospitalizations, of admission, concomitant diseases, unilateral and bilateral hernia, and length of hospital stay have an impact on hospitalization costs. It is suggested to implement the pre-hospitalization mode and day surgery, complete relevant examinations before formal hospitalization, and optimize the medical service process, so as to reasonably and effectively control the hospitalization cost of single disease.
