Department of Surgery, The University Hospital and University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio 45267-0558, USA.
Background: This study compares burn and nonburn patients undergoing tracheostomy, all of whom were assigned to diagnosis-related group 483 to determine hospital reimbursement.
Methods: We reviewed the records of all inpatients admitted to our hospital from January 2000 through December 2001 who underwent tracheostomy and who were assigned to diagnosis-related group 483. In addition, we compared our burn patient data with that from three other burn centers and the National Burn Repository.
