Abstract

Objective To evaluate the impact of the echinococcosis prevention and treatment project on the treatment cost for echinococcosis patients in Sichuan Province, in order to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of subsidy policy. Methods Data of surgical treatment of echinococcosis patients in four 3A grade hospitals in Sichuan Province from 2016 to 2020 were collected, including the basic information, lesion type, hospitalization days and expenses, medical insurance subsidies, state project subsidies, etc. SPSS 18.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 504 cases were collected, with a male-to-female ratio of 1 ∶ 1.2. The ratio of cystic echinococcosis granulose(114 cases) to alveolar echinococcosis (175 cases) was 1 ∶ 1.5, and the average age was (38.6 ± 14.5) years. The main surgical site was in liver (90%, 414/460). The major operative strategy was partial hepatectomy (24.7%, 90/365). Eighty-two cases received combined surgery and 33 cases received liver transplantation. The median length of hospitalization was 15 days. From 2016 to 2020, the median of total cost of hospitalization showed a trend of yearly increase. Significant factors that influence the hospitalization expense included different hospitals, year of admission, the age upon operation, length stay in hospital, type of echinococcosis and operation method (P < 0.05). Of the 237 patients with complete subsidy data, the total cost of hospitalization was 16 833 040 yuan, with a median cost of 51 172 yuan. The total amount of the national echinococcosis subsidy project was 4 645 709 yuan, with a median of 22 000 yuan. Most of the patients received a subsidy of > 20 000 yuan (51.9%). After compensated by medical insurance and echinococcosis subsidy, 192 patients need to pay for their own cost. The total amount of self-payment was 2 710 793 yuan, with a median of 5 888 yuan. Most of the patients paid 0-5000 yuan (58.2%), with 47 patients paying no cost. Conclusion The government echinococcosis subsidy program has greatly reduced the burden of patients for medical cost.
