Abstract Background: Injury is one of the major public health problems, which causes more than 5 million deaths in the world every year. Cases of specific types of injury put a great threat to human health and also add a heavy medical burden on individuals and societies. This study is aimed at assessing the financial burden of injury on patients. Methods: A total of 565 medical institutions were selected with multistage stratified cluster random sampling, containing 152553 valid samples. Subsequently, the distribution of injury current curative expenditure (CCE) in different dimensions (including age and site of injury) was analyzed under the framework of System of Health Accounts 2011(SHA 2011) using the established database. Results: In China, from 2006 to 2016, both urban and rural injury mortality rates showed an upward trend of more than 5 percentage points. In Dalian, the CCE of injury had reached 1572.73 million RMB, accounting for 7.45% of the total curative care expenditure. In the 15-24 age group, the cost of injury accounts for a larger proportion of CCE than other age groups. Among the injuries in different regions of the body, injuries to the spine, lower limb, head and foreign body entering cost the most.Conclusions: Dalian has a relatively serious burden of injury costs. The essential and primary goal is to reduce the cost. Young people in daily life and work should pay attention to protect their head and limbs from injury, the corresponding units should also do a good job in prevention.

Abstract Background Injury is one of the major public health problems, which causes more than 5 million deaths in the world every year. Cases of specific types of injury put a tremendous threat to human health and also add a heavy medical burden on individuals and societies. This study was to calculate and analyze the current curative expenditure (CCE) of injury in Dalian and consequently to provide control strategies for decision-makers. Main text: A total of 565 medical institutions were selected with multistage stratified cluster random sampling, containing 4,375,351 valid samples. Subsequently, the distribution of injury CCE in different dimensions (including age and site of injury) was analyzed under the framework of System of Health Accounts 2011(SHA 2011) using the established database. There were increases from 32.36/100,000 in 2006 to 37.34/100,000 in 2017 and from 46.12/100,000 in 2006 to 54.48/100,000 in 2017 in urban and rural residents respectively. The study found that the CCE of injury in Dalian had reached 1572.73 million RMB, accounting for 7.45% of the total curative care expenditure. In the 15–25 age group, the cost of injury accounts for a larger proportion of CCE than other age groups. Among the injuries in different regions of the body, injuries to the spine, lower limb, head and foreign body entering cost the most. Conclusions Dalian has a relatively serious burden of injury costs. The essential and primary goal is to reduce the cost and increase the benefit of attending to patients with injuries. Specific control strategies should be tilted toward the age group 15–25. Injuries to the spine, lower limb, head and foreign body entering also should be priorities of interventions.

BackgroundThe System of Health Accounts 2011 (SHA 2011) assists in health policy analysis and health expenditure comparison at the international level. Based on SHA 2011, this study analysed the distribution of beneficiary groups of curative care expenditure (CCE) in Xinjiang, to present suggestions for developing health policies.MethodsA total of 160 health institutions were selected using the multistage stratified random sampling method. An analysis of the agewise CCE distribution, institutional flow, and disease distribution was then performed based on the SHA 2011 accounting framework.ResultsIn 2016, the CCE in Xinjiang was ¥50.05 billion, accounting for 70.18% of current health expenditure and 6.66% of the gross domestic product. The per capita CCE was ¥2366.56. The CCE was distributed differently across age groups, with the highest spending on people over the age of 65 years. The CCE was highest for diseases of the circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems. Most of the expenditure was incurred in hospitals and, to a lesser extent, in primary healthcare institutions. Family health expenditure, especially on children aged 14 years and below, accounted for a relatively high proportion of the CCE.ConclusionSHA 2011 was used to capture data, which was then analysed according to the newly added beneficiary dimension. The findings revealed that the use of medical resources is low, the scale of primary medical institutions needs to be significantly expanded and there is a need to optimise the CCE financing scheme. Therefore, the health policymaking department should optimise the relevant policies and improve the efficiency of health services.

Abstract Background System of Health Accounts 2011 (SHA2011) not only meets the analysis of health policies but also increases the comparability of international health from expenditure. This study analyzes the distribution of beneficiary groups of curative care expenditure (CCE) in Xinjiang based on SHA 2011, and provides references for making health policies. Methods A total of 352 sample health institutions were collected with multistage stratified random sampling method in Xinjiang. According to the accounting framework of the SHA 2011, the CCE distribution, institutional flow and disease distribution of different age groups were analyzed. Results In 2016, the CCE in Xinjiang was 50.05 billion Chinese Yuan (CNY), accounting for 70.18% of current health expenditure (CHE), 6.66% of GDP, and per capita CCE was 2366.56 CNY. People aged over 65 was the consumed major CCE, different diseases treatment costs have a different distribution in the age groups. Three types of diseases with the highest CCE were circulatory, respiratory and digestive system diseases. All of the beneficiary expenditure mainly occurred in hospitals, the proportion of primary health care institutions was relatively small. Family health expenditure accounts for a relatively high proportion, especially children aged 14 years old and below. Conclusion This study used SHA2011 to capture large data and analyzed from the newly added beneficiary dimension. The population had a heavy burden of medical financing, the allocation of medical resources was unreasonable, and the scale of primary medical institutions needs to be reasonably expanded. The financing plan for CCE needs to be optimized to decrease the medical burden of disease.

Abstract Background The problem of AIDS response has not only involved public health, but also had a great impact on the family burden.The objective of this study was to estimate Hunan Province preventive and curative care expenditure(PCE) of AIDS in 2017 based on System of Health Accounts 2011 by quantity,financing scheme,health provider,health function,and to analyse the factors affecting patients' medical burden.Methods Through stratified multi-stage sampling method, 1336 institutions were surveyed to obtain AIDS prevention and control data, and combined with official data of Hunan Health Statistical Yearbook, Health Financial Yearbook and Government Input Monitoring System to estimate the AIDS PCE under the framework of SHA2011.Univariate analysis and ordered logistic regression were used to evaluate the factors affecting the medical burden of AIDS patients.Results The AIDS PCE of Hunan in 2017 was 266.67 million, mainly flowed to hospitals and disease prevention and control institutions. The proportions of curative care expenditure(CCE) and prevention expenditure were 51.39%, 48.61% respectively. From the point of view of the allocation of prevention expenditure, AIDS prevention methods were relatively traditional, and oral PrEP was not included in the national plan. All prevention expenditure and 88.52% of CCE were borne by public financing scheme.Family health expenditure accounted for 11.21% of CCE. None insurance, co-infection and length of stay are risk factors to the total expenditure of hospitalization and out-of-pocket health expenditure(all p <0.05,OR>1).Taking the age group under 30 as the reference, the partial regression coefficient of the age group over 60 was statistically significant ( OR (Totalexp) =1.809, OR (OOP) =0.30).Conclusions The financing structure of the Hunan Province PCE of AIDS was relatively stable and the flow of institutions was reasonable. The functional flow of expenditure embodied the principle of "prevention first". China should incorporate oral PrEP into the national guidelines as soon as possible to improve the allocation efficiency of AIDS prevention resources. Meantime, several measures should be taken to reduce the hospitalization expenses and medical burden of AIDS patients, including adjusting insurance compensation measures, increasing the rate of patients participating in insurance,encouraging commercial insurance to join the AIDS insurance system,and controlling length of stay in hospital.

Univariate analyses and ordered logistic regression were used to evaluate the factors affecting the medical burden of AIDS patients.Results: The AIDS PCE of Hunan Province in 2017 was 266.67 million, mainly flowed to hospitals and disease prevention and control institutions. The proportions of curative care expenditure(CCE) and prevention expenditure were 51.39% and 48.61% respectively. Prevention expenditure were mainly used for traditional prevention methods. All prevention expenditure and 88.52% of CCE were borne by public financing scheme. Family health expenditure accounted for 11.12% of CCE,but there were still some people with heavy burden of treatment. Non insurance, co-infection and length of stay are risk factors to the total hospitalization expenses(Totalexp)and the out-of-pocket payments(OOPs)(all p <0.05,OR>1). Taking the age group under 30 as the reference, the partial regression coefficient of the age group over 60 was statistically significant (OR (Totalexp) =1.809, OR (OOPs) =0.30).Conclusion:The financing structure of the PCE for AIDS in Hunan Province was relatively stable and the flow of institutions was reasonable. The functional flow of expenditure embodied the principle of "prevention first". China should incorporate oral PrEP into the national guidelines as soon as possible to improve the allocation efficiency of AIDS prevention resources. Meantime, several measures should be taken to reduce the medical burden of AIDS patients, including expanding the scope of government assistance, adjusting insurance compensation measures, increasing the rate of patients participating in insurance,encouraging commercial insurance to join the AIDS insurance system,and controlling length of stay in hospital.
