ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivos. Estimar los costos económicos en la atención de la neumonía nosocomial al compararlo con el grupo sin neumonía nosocomial en Hospital II Huánuco EsSalud, 2009 -2011. Materiales y métodos. Evaluación económica parcial. Diseño de casos y controles pareado. Se empleó una ficha de recolección. Variable dependiente: neumonía nosocomial. Variables independientes: costos directos sanitarios, costos directos no sanitarios, costos indirectos, ocupación, comorbilidad, procedencia y grado de instrucción. Se realizó análisis bivariado. Resultados. Se identificaron 40 pares de casos y controles. Los casos estuvieron hospitalizados más de dos semanas y emplearon más de dos antibióticos. Los costos directos sanitarios asociados fueron por hospitalización, antibióticos, exámenes auxiliares, evaluaciones especializadas y otras medicaciones. Los costos directos no sanitarios y los costos indirectos asociados fueron por transporte, alimentación, alojamiento, ingresos por planilla dejados de percibir, ingresos por honorarios profesionales dejados de percibir, gastos extrainstitucionales, pago a cuidadores durante hospitalización y por telefonía. Conclusiones. Los costos directos sanitarios en neumonía nosocomial fueron más del triple, mientras los costos directos no sanitarios y costos indirectos fueron más del doble al compararlo con el grupo sin infección. Se identificaron variables con mayor impacto en los costos.


ABSTRACT Objectives. To estimate and compare the economic costs for the care of patients with and without nosocomial pneumonia at Hospital II Huánuco EsSalud during 2009-2011, in Peru. Materials and Methods. This was a partial economic evaluation of paired cases and controls. A collection sheet was used. Dependent variable: nosocomial pneumonia. Independent variables: direct health costs, direct non-health costs, indirect costs, occupation, age, comorbidities, sex, origin, and education level. A bivariate analysis was performed. Results. Forty pairs of cases and controls were identified. These patients were hospitalized for >2 weeks and prescribed more than two antibiotics. The associated direct health costs included those for hospitalization, antibiotics, auxiliary examinations, specialized assessments, and other medications. The direct non-health costs and associated indirect costs included those for transportation, food, housing, foregone payroll revenue, foregone professional fee revenue, extra-institutional expenses, and payment to caregivers during hospitalization and by telephone. Conclusions. The direct health costs for nosocomial pneumonia patients were more than three times and the indirect costs were more than two times higher than those for the controls. Variables with the greatest impact on costs were identified.
