Cost drivers for benign hysterectomy within a health care system: Influence of patient, perioperative, and hospital factors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify patient, perioperative, and hospital factors that drive total hospital charges for benign hysterectomy.

Methods

The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study between July 2014 and February 2019 at five academic and community hospitals within an integrated healthcare system in the state of Maryland with a Global Budget Revenue methodology for hospital charges. Predictor variables included patient, perioperative and hospital characteristics. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare charges among approaches. A multiple linear regression model was built to account for the interaction between covariates.

Results

A total of 2592 patients underwent hysterectomy via laparoscopic (61%), abdominal (16%), robotic (14%), or vaginal (9%) approach
