Résumé
We retrospectively evaluated the hospital reimbursement rates for inpatient bronchiolitis treatment and then compared them to the RAFAELA We selected all 44 bronchiolitis patients treated in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and then for each PICU-treated patient two patients treated on the ward (n = 88) under 12 months of age in 2010-2015. The data included medical histories, hospital reimbursement rates using the Nordic Diagnosis Related Groups (NordDRG) or expense categories and the RAFAELA Reimbursement claims were mostly based on expense categories for PICU admissions and NordDRG categories for ward admissions. The median (range) was €6352 (€1330-30 554) and €2009 (€768-6027) per episode for the PICU and ward cases, respectively. The median lengths of hospital stay were 8.5 days (3-18) and 3 days (1-8), respectively. Higher RAFAELA Hospital reimbursement claim for a PICU admission was three times as much as a ward admission and reimbursement claims for bronchiolitis did not match with nursing intensity scores.
