Abstract

Objective: To analyze the direct medical costs associated with the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in pediatric patients aged 2 to 60 months at Green International Hospital in 2024. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted using data from "Treatment Cost Statements" of pediatric inpatients aged 2 to 60 months diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia and hospitalized at Green International Hospital from January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024. Results: Out-of-pocket payments accounted for the majority of total treatment costs (86,25%), while health insurance contributions covered only 13,75%. The average direct medical cost per hospitalization was VND 12,495 million VNĐ. Treatment-related costs comprised the largest portion (87,31%) of total direct costs, including bed-day costs (44,68%, highest proportion), surgical/procedural costs (21,94%), drug and infusion costs (16,73%), and medical supplies (3,97%). Diagnostic costs accounted for 12,45%, primarily from laboratory tests (8,63%). Among medications used, antibiotics represented the highest proportion (58,85%). Conclusion: The majority of the treatment costs for community-acquired pneumonia at Green International Hospital were borne by patients, with bed-day charges constituting the largest share, followed by costs for surgical/procedural interventions and medications.
