Acute respiratory tract infections (ARI) are a major burden in pediatric long-term care. We analyzed the financial impact of ARI in 2012-2013. Costs associated with ARI during the respiratory viral season were ten times greater than during the non-respiratory viral season, $31 224 and $3242 per 1000 patient-days, respectively (P < 0·001). ARI are burdensome for pediatric long-term care facilities not only because of the associated morbidity and mortality, but also due to the great financial costs of prevention.
急性呼吸道感染(ARI)是儿科长期护理中的一项主要负担。我们分析了2012 - 2013年ARI的经济影响。呼吸道病毒季节期间与ARI相关的成本比非呼吸道病毒季节高10倍,分别为每1000患者日31224美元和3242美元(P < 0.001)。ARI对儿科长期护理机构来说负担沉重,不仅因为其相关的发病率和死亡率,还由于预防的巨大经济成本。
