ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the case mixed method in diagnosis-related groups ( DRGs ) of patients with cervical cancer in Nantong and to provide references for standard hospitalization expense of cervical cancer. Methods 8610 patients with cervical cancer from Nantong Tumor Hospital from 2006 to 2013 were selected for the study. The influencing factors of hospitalization expenses were screened by multiple liner regression. DRGs case mix scheme was established by Chi-squared automatic interaction dtector in the decision tree model. Results The mean hospitalization expense was 11363 yuan and the median was 9325 yuan. The influencing factors included admitting pathways, complications, therapeutic methods and prognosis of diseases. The cases of 8610 formed 11 DRGs combinations, with the corresponding hospitalization expense standards. Conclusions Case-mix diagnosis related groups are reasonable. The standards and related weights of hospitalization expenses could serve references for hospitals and medical insurance institutions.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate health equity status of the elderly with different socioeconomic status(SES)and provide basis for health promotion. Methods:The data of 2011-2012 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey was used to analyze health equity of the elderly with different SES. Results: There is an inverse socioeconomic gradient in self-evaluation of ill health and the prevalence of activity of daily living (ADL). The lower economic level is, the higher self-evaluation of ill health and the damage rate of ADL are, and the higher non-outpatient rate and non-hospitalization rate are; the urban elderly have better health and use more health services and the elderly in eastern region have better health and use more health services than those in eastern region. Conclusion: There is the health inequity for the elderly with different SES. In order to implement the health care insurance and medical assistance system of the elderly, it needs to allocate health resources to rural and western areas, narrow the gap between urban and rural areas and improve the health level of the elderly.
