Cost Analysis of Hospitalization for COVID-19 in a Brazilian Public Teaching Hospital.

Objectives: This study aimed to measure the hospitalization costs for suspect or confirmation cases of COVID-19 and aggregate knowledge in the costing process for future research on related topics.

Methods: A cost calculation model was applied using absorption costing technique. Cost was allocated into 2 main groups: hospitalization and personnel.

An Integrated Cost Model Based on Real Patient Flow: Exploring Surgical Hospitalization.

Considering the gap observed in studies on health costs, this article aims to propose a cost calculation model for surgical hospitalization. A systematic literature review using PRISMA was conducted to map cost drivers adopted in similar studies and provide theoretical background. Based on the review, an integrated model considering real patient flow was developed using CHEERS guidelines.
