Overview

Retrospective cost analysis reveals €1,223 per patient undercoverage in tumour prosthesis care, indicating DRG system inadequacies.

Key Points

  • Cost analysis shows an average undercoverage of € -1,223 per patient due to specific implant costs.
  • A total of 198 patients were included, with an average age of 43.7 years and a 2.7-day shorter hospital stay.
  • The study utilized retrospective cost analysis, focusing on personnel and material costs associated with surgeries.
  • The findings suggest urgent need for a hospital-specific payment model to address undercoverage in tumour prosthesis costs.
