目的：估算急性护理环境之外的轻度至中度创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 儿童的医疗保健支出。设计：使用 1997-2000 年医疗支出小组调查的数据来估算 196 名 TBI 儿童自然样本的支出。结果：儿童 TBI 相关服务的支出平均每年为 7,790 万美元。人均支出为 1044 美元，其中 166 美元用于 TBI 相关服务，878 美元用于所有其他卫生服务。结论：虽然儿童 TBI 的总成本很高，但平均成本远低于之前的报告，因为之前的样本中没有包括轻微创伤的青少年。
Objective: To estimate healthcare expenditures of children with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) outside of acute care settings. Design: Data from the 1997-2000 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey were used to produce estimates of expenditures for a natural sample of 196 children with TBI. Results: Expenditures for TBI-related services in children averaged $77.9 million per year. Average per capita expenditure was $1044, of which $166 was for TBI-related services and $878 was for all other health services. Conclusion: Although total costs of TBI in children are high, the average costs are much lower than those previous reports because youth with minor trauma were not included in prior samples.
