The cost of providing intensive (level-3) and special (level-2) care for newborn infants in a tertiary perinatal service was determined prospectively and was expressed in 1984 Australian dollars. Direct costs that were expressed per occupied bed-day were $690 for level-3, high-dependency care; $421 for level-3, low-dependency care; $544 for over-all level-3 care; $242 for level-2, high-dependency care; $170 for level-2, low-dependency care; and $201 for over-all level-2 care. Each level of care generated additional costs of $42 per occupied bed-day. Taking these additional costs into account, the over-all occupied bed-day cost of level-3 and level-2 neonatal care was $339. The major components of this over-all cost were: nursing staff members, 50%; medical staff members, 11%; consumable and recyclable items, 12%; and diagnostic services, 8%.
在一家三级围产期服务机构中，对新生儿提供重症（3级）和特殊（2级）护理的成本进行了前瞻性测定，并以1984年澳元表示。按每个占用床位日计算的直接成本为：3级高依赖护理690澳元；3级低依赖护理421澳元；3级总体护理544澳元；2级高依赖护理242澳元；2级低依赖护理170澳元；2级总体护理201澳元。每个护理级别每个占用床位日产生额外成本42澳元。考虑到这些额外成本，3级和2级新生儿护理的总体占用床位日成本为339澳元。这一总体成本的主要构成部分为：护理人员，50%；医务人员，11%；消耗品和可回收物品，12%；诊断服务，8%。
