Abstract:

The aim of this paper was to identify the health technology utilization and to perform a hospital care cost analysis of children and youth’s with medical complex chronic conditions at a public federal hospital specialized in high-complexity pediatric care. It was performed concomitant with a prospective cohort study conducted over a one-year period and included 146 patients with medical complex chronic conditions and 37 non-chronic patients. The analysis showed that the most of patients had two hospitalizations twice in a year and were diagnosed with diseases related to at least two organic systems. The use of catheters and drains and gastrostomy were the most technologies used. Patients with medical complex chronic conditions had medium direct costs higher than non-chronic patients related to technology utilization. The study indicates a high hospitalization cost to these patients. The documentation of health technology utilization and hospitalization costs yield more data in order to support decision makers in planning, managing and financing of pediatric health policy.
