Assessment of medical resource utilization for Taiwanese children hospitalized for intracranial injuries
2014, InjuryCitation Excerpt :Our results also showed that adolescents were the main group of hospitalized TBI patients; they also spent more time in the hospital and consumed extensive health service resources. One earlier study reported that the median cost for TBI acute care and rehabilitation in two U.S. medical centres in 1987 was $11478 [12]. Although rehabilitation care and patients with skull fractures were excluded from our analysis, our results still showed lower medical costs (i.e. average $917 or median $356) for in-patients with intracranial injures.
