OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine the length of hospital stay and treatment costs of @entity1 with @entity173 in @entity233 . METHODS: A total of 1,118 @entity173 taken from @entity1 records in 35 hospitals connected to a Disease Related Group (DRG) network were included in the study. Inclusion criteria were @entity1 over the age of fifty with a diagnosis of a single, low-energy @entity174 located at the neck, head, or intertrochanteric region of the femur treated with total/hemi-arthroplasty, screw or nail methods. We examined the demographics, location of @entity174 , treatment type, length of hospital stay (LOS), direct cost and cost extrapolation based on the numbers of hospitals, beds and @entity1 by hospital. RESULTS: Of the 1,118 @entity1 (mean age: 75.3    9.9 years), 62.8% were female. The main @entity174 type was of the femur neck without precise localization. The average LOS was 11.0    7.9 days. The total weighed cost of all 1,118 @entity173 was  2,249,885 per year, indicating an average direct medical cost of  3,119 per @entity1 in the 35 DRG hospitals. Based on this sample, the estimated total number of @entity1 is 15,602 by number of hospitals; 8,521 by number of hospital beds and 9,365 by number of hospitalization, costing  31,530 million;  14,793 million and  18,948 million, respectively. CONCLUSION: Diverse results in cost estimations of @entity173 reflect the incoherence of data as well as a lack of standardization of health care services. Therefore, ICD and DRG coding needs to be improved and a national database must be created at least for the invoices of importation of prostheses to fully be able to calculate the burden of @entity170 across @entity233 .
