Prospective payment systems and hip fracture treatment costs

Dementia, Delirium and other Comorbid Conditions in Acute Hip Fracture Care -- Traditions, Attitudes and Local Policies Rather Than Actual State Guide Diagnose Making?

“…Previously, the Stockholm database has been used in epidemiological hip fracture studies (1), evaluations of the implementation of a prospective payment system in the Stockholm County Council (35) and longterm hip fracture treatment costs (3).

Postoperative mental impairment in hip fracture patients: A randomized study of reorientation measures in 223 patients

“…Increased knowledge of the patients' home situation may have improved the timing for discharge. In a previous study (Stromberg et al 1997a), we found that an average acute hospital or geriatric bed-day costs approximately USD 350, therefore the intervention resulted in substantial savings.…”

An analysis of hip fracture treatments in Japan by the discrete-type proportional hazard and ordered probit models

“…From Eqs. (6) and (7), the likelihood function is obtained. We get the MLE,α,γ,η j , j = 1, 2, 3 by maximizing the likelihood function.…”

“…Hip factures are important problems, and many studies such as cost-benefit analyses have been done in various countries. For details, see de Laet et al [2], Stromberget al [6], Fitzgerald et al [3] and van Balen et al [7]. Studies concerning the length of stay and the effectiveness of treatment have also been done by various authors in Japan (Watanabe et al [8]).…”
