根据诊断类别确定60天或以下发热婴儿住院所产生的医源性和财务费用。在所有入院患者中，37例（19.5%）发生48例单独并发症。在这些并发症中，29例（60.4%）是可以预防的，6例（12.5%）并发症发生在可能不需要住院治疗的婴儿中。在所有并发症中，24例（50%）是由静脉注射引起的。除并发症外，还发现了26例诊断性意外。所有婴儿的平均住院时间为7.0天，范围为2-28天。给出了1979- 1980年的平均住院费用以及细菌性和无菌性脑膜炎的费用范围。平均而言，25.6%的账单用于诊断研究，8.3%用于医生费用。
The iatrogenic and financial costs that arise from hospitalizing febrile infants 60 days of age or younger were identified by diagnostic categories. Of all admissions, 37 (19.5%) resulted in 48 separate complications. Of these complications, 29 (60.4%) were preventable, and 6 complications (12.5%) occurred in infants who probably did not require hospitalization for therapy. Of all complications, 24 (50%) resulted from i.v. therapy. In addition to the complications, 26 diagnostic misadventures were identified. The average length of hospitalization for all infants was 7.0 days, with a range of 2-28 days. The average cost of hospitalization in 1979-80 as well as the range of cost for bacterial and aseptic meningitis is given. On the average, 25.6% of the bill was for diagnostic studies and 8.3% for physician fees.
