Currently, diagnosis-related groups in China are based on historical expenses that are closely related to the unit charges set by the official pricing department and\u00a0are frequently inaccurate compared with actual resource consumption.\n            <jats:bold>Materials &amp; methods:<\/jats:bold>\n            Through a retrospective empirical study on the costs and charges of SAVR cases in a tertiary hospital, this study aimed to compare the costs and charges of service items. We collected clinical information from patients undergoing SAVR (isolated or concomitant procedures) and financial information from the hospital in 2015 and 2016. Top-down full cost accounting and step-allocation were the main methods used in this study.\n            <jats:bold>Result:<\/jats:bold>\n            This research selected 203 SAVR cases in 2015 and 214 cases in 2016. The median length of hospital stay was 15.92\u00a0days (6.07\u00a0days pre surgery and 9.57\u00a0days post surgery). The average human resource cost of care per day per bed in the cardiovascular surgery department, including doctors and nurses, was US $62.22 in 2015 and $66.17 in 2016, but the corresponding charge was no more than $24. For operation, the cost of isolated SAVR was $665 in 2015 and $1015 in 2016, while the charge was $820. For anesthesiology, the cost of isolated SAVR was $400 in 2015 and $526 in 2016, while the average charge was $192. For examination service items, some costs did not exceed charges. The average total cost of a case was $19,299\u00a0\u00b1\u00a08954, while the average total charge was $18,923\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09194.\n            <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n            SAVR is associated with significant resource utilization and hospital stay duration. The fees for human resources and services associated with SAVR do not reflect the true costs of SAVR in a Chinese hospital setting. This study may assist in future budget planning and price setting for policy makers in China.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2217\/cer-2021-0037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,15]],"date-time":"2021-04-15T15:37:37Z","timestamp":1618501057000},"page":"697-708","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["True cost of surgical aortic valve replacement and implications for price setting and diagnosis-related groups: evidence from a tertiary hospital in Eastern China"],"prefix":"10.57264","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9363-9265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoxiao","family":"Qin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Health Technology Assessment (National Health Commission), School of Public Health, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200032, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xianbao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiayan","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Health Technology Assessment (National Health Commission), School of Public Health, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200032, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Health Technology Assessment (National Health Commission), School of Public Health, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200032, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanting","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuxin","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qifeng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiaqi","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minjian","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aiqiang","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Health Technology Assessment (National Health Commission), School of Public Health, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200032, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3470-0748","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yingyao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Health Technology Assessment (National Health Commission), School of Public Health, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200032, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jian'an","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"36897","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.1017\/9781316691113.007","volume-title":"China\u2019s Healthcare Reform: Status and Outlook.","author":"S\u00fcssmuth DC","year":"2017","unstructured":"S\u00fcssmuth DC, Then F.
