National survey data were used to describe and analyze the treatment of selected illnesses: hypertension, heart condition, hernia, gynecological infection, menstrual disorder, other gynecological conditions, pneumonia, and urinary tract infection. The number of office visits, the rate of diagnostic testing, the average charge, and the use of inpatient and outpatient hospital services were analyzed in an econometric model of treatment. Differences in the treatment of patients with similar illnesses were associated with comprehensive insurance, the availability of hospital and physician resources, and other economic considerations. There was also evidence that hospital and ambulatory services were substituted for each other, as a result of economic as well as medical considerations.
高血压、心脏病、疝气、妇科感染、月经失调、其他妇科疾病、肺炎和尿路感染。在一个治疗计量模型中分析了门诊就诊次数、诊断检测率、平均费用以及住院和门诊医院服务的使用情况。患有相似疾病的患者在治疗上的差异与综合保险、医院和医生资源的可获得性以及其他经济因素有关。还有证据表明,出于经济和医疗方面的考虑,医院服务和门诊服务相互替代。
