Cost Analysis on Intensive Care Unit Costs Based on the Length of Stay

Benchmarking machine learning models on multi-centre eICU critical care dataset

“…Length of stay prediction. Length of stay is one of the most important factors accounting for the overall hospital costs, as such its forecast could play an important role in healthcare management [8]. Length of stay is estimated through analysis of events occurring within a fixed time-window, once every hour from the initial ICU admission.…”

The Effect of Early Mobilization on ICU and Hospital Length of Stay and Its Impact on the Cost of Care in Post-Open Heart Surgery Patients: A Randomized Control Trial (RCT)

“…It has been reported that cost effectiveness in the ICUs constitute a large portion of total hospital costs [24,31]. However, evidences reported that ICU admission is one of the most cost effectiveness in the hospital admission as a result of many required equipment that may need to be attached to the patient such as mechanical ventilation [23,32].…”

“…It has been reported that The ICU occupied less than ten percent of total hospital beds, yet ICU care represents one third of total health care costs. Although this rate may appear remarkably low, the ICU costs constitute a large portion of total hospital expenses [24]. Studies reported that 3,949 US dollars (US $) per day is an average cost of hospital stay and an average cost of first day in the ICU is about 10,794.00 US dollars and then plateaus at $3,968/day by the third day, depending on the need for mechanical ventilation.…”

“…Studies reported that 3,949 US dollars (US $) per day is an average cost of hospital stay and an average cost of first day in the ICU is about 10,794.00 US dollars and then plateaus at $3,968/day by the third day, depending on the need for mechanical ventilation. However, surgical floor costs are estimated to be 1,488 US $ per day [24][25][26]. King Faisal specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSHRC) has been recognized as one of the largest tertiary health care facility in the region (Saudi Arabia) and considerably has the same average cost for patients care due to the high risk conditions that have been operated and admitted to the surgical ICU [27].…”

The Implementation of Protocol-Based Utilization of Neuromuscular Blocking Agent Using Clinical Variables in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients

“…Because of the high cost of ICU care, healthcare providers and hospital administration often face the dilemma of meeting an increased demand for healthcare services within financial constraints of the institute ( 28 ). Medications contribute significantly to the cost of ICU care ( 29 ). With successful implementation of our protocol for mechanically ventilated ARDS patients in the intervention arm, we were able to demonstrate cost reduction from lesser amount of total NMBA use.…”
