          Abstract

          RESUMEN INTRODUCCIÓN Los sistemas de costos por servicio hospitalario permiten evaluar la eficiencia en la utilización de recursos y son la base para realizar estudios comparativos entre grupos de pacientes con características diferenciales. La internación en Neonatología de niños de bajo peso al nacer presenta especial interés por su complejidad y alto costo. El objetivo fue estimar los costos directos del día de internación en el Servicio de Neonatología del Hospital Interzonal Dr. José Penna de pacientes con peso al ingreso menor o igual a 1500 g en 2019 MÉTODOS Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, para el cual se relevaron datos del Servicio de Neonatología y de las áreas de compras y personal del Hospital. Se estimó el costo promedio por día de internación y por egreso del total del Servicio y de los recién nacidos con peso de hasta 1500 g RESULTADOS El estudio se realizó sobre 489 egresos. El costo directo promedio por día de internación fue de $17.755. Para el grupo de peso ≤ 1500 g, el promedio de días de internación fue de 55,9 y el costo promedio por egreso, de $992.191; para ≤ 1000 g, de 80,6 y $1.430.229, respectivamente. Se evidenció un fuerte impacto del bajo peso al nacer: el 8% de los egresos con vida de Neonatología genera el 33% de los costos del proceso de internación neonatal DISCUSIÓN Es importante realizar estudios de costos por servicio hospitalario, en especial por grupos de casos, a fin de generar información útil para la toma de decisiones. ^s+

          ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Hospital department cost systems allow to evaluate resource use efficiency and are the foundation for comparative studies between patient groups with differential characteristics. Neonatal admission of low birth weight children is of particular interest due to its complexity and high cost. The objective was to estimate the direct costs of hospitalization day in Penna Interzonal Hospital, considering neonatal patients with weight at admission less than or equal to 1500 grams in 2019 METHODS A retrospective study was carried out using data collected from the neonatology, purchasing and personnel departments of the Hospital. The average cost per hospitalization day and discharge in the department as a whole and in newborns weighing less than 1500 grams was estimated RESULTS The study was carried out on 489 discharged patients. The average direct cost per hospitalization day was ARS 17,755. For the group ≤ 1500 grams, the average days of hospitalization was 55.9 and the average cost per discharge was ARS 992,191. For the group weighing ≤ 1000 grams, it was 80.6 days and ARS 1,430,229, respectively. A strong impact of low birth weight on costs was evidenced - 8% of neonatal patients discharged alive generate 33% of the costs of the neonatal hospitalization process DISCUSSION It is important to carry out cost studies per hospital department, especially by groups of cases, in order to generate useful information for decision-making.

          Every Newborn: progress, priorities, and potential beyond survival.

          In this Series paper, we review trends since the 2005 Lancet Series on Neonatal Survival to inform acceleration of progress for newborn health post-2015. On the basis of multicountry analyses and multi-stakeholder consultations, we propose national targets for 2035 of no more than 10 stillbirths per 1000 total births, and no more than 10 neonatal deaths per 1000 livebirths, compatible with the under-5 mortality targets of no more than 20 per 1000 livebirths. We also give targets for 2030. Reduction of neonatal mortality has been slower than that for maternal and child (1-59 months) mortality, slowest in the highest burden countries, especially in Africa, and reduction is even slower for stillbirth rates. Birth is the time of highest risk, when more than 40% of maternal deaths (total about 290,000) and stillbirths or neonatal deaths (5·5 million) occur every year. These deaths happen rapidly, needing a rapid response by health-care workers. The 2·9 million annual neonatal deaths worldwide are attributable to three main causes: infections (0·6 million), intrapartum conditions (0·7 million), and preterm birth complications (1·0 million). Boys have a higher biological risk of neonatal death, but girls often have a higher social risk. Small size at birth--due to preterm birth or small-for-gestational-age (SGA), or both--is the biggest risk factor for more than 80% of neonatal deaths and increases risk of post-neonatal mortality, growth failure, and adult-onset non-communicable diseases. South Asia has the highest SGA rates and sub-Saharan Africa has the highest preterm birth rates. Babies who are term SGA low birthweight (10·4 million in these regions) are at risk of stunting and adult-onset metabolic conditions. 15 million preterm births, especially of those younger than 32 weeks' gestation, are at the highest risk of neonatal death, with ongoing post-neonatal mortality risk, and important risk of long-term neurodevelopmental impairment, stunting, and non-communicable conditions. 4 million neonates annually have other life-threatening or disabling conditions including intrapartum-related brain injury, severe bacterial infections, or pathological jaundice. Half of the world's newborn babies do not get a birth certificate, and most neonatal deaths and almost all stillbirths have no death certificate. To count deaths is crucial to change them. Failure to improve birth outcomes by 2035 will result in an estimated 116 million deaths, 99 million survivors with disability or lost development potential, and millions of adults at increased risk of non-communicable diseases after low birthweight. In the post-2015 era, improvements in child survival, development, and human capital depend on ensuring a healthy start for every newborn baby--the citizens and workforce of the future.

            Estimates of healthcare spending for preterm and low-birthweight infants in a commercially insured population: 2008–2016

            The growth in healthcare spending is an important topic in the United States, and preterm and low-birthweight infants have some of the highest healthcare expenditures of any patient population. We performed a retrospective cohort study of spending in this population using a large, national claims database of commercially insured individuals. A total of 763,566 infants with insurance coverage through Aetna, Inc. for the first 6 months of post-natal life were included, and received approximately $8.4 billion (2016 USD) in healthcare services. Infants with billing codes indicating preterm status (<37 weeks, n = 50,511) incurred medical expenditures of $76,153 on average, while low-birthweight status (<2500 g) was associated with average spending of $114,437. Infants born at 24 weeks gestation (n = 418) had the highest per infant average expenditures of $603,778. Understanding the drivers of variation in costs within gestational age and birthweight bands is an important target for future studies.
