Abstract：Objective To investigate the factors affecting the hospitalization costs of the patients with intertrochanteric fe-mur fractures. Methods Using a retrospective survey method we explored hospital expenses and comprehensively analyzed va-rious factors of 155 patients with multiple linear regression method and descriptive analysis. The arthroplasty group has 20 peo-ple and the internal fixation group has 135 people. Contrast basic data of the patients between internal fixation and arthroplasty using chi-square test and t-test(P > 0. 05)Results Factors of hospitalization costs were number of days in hospital,surgery, complications,time of injury to surgery,implant material and so on. And in the composition of the total hospital charges,there ass a statistical difference in implant material parts between two groups of patients(P < 0. 01). The cost of internal fixation was smaller than arthroplasty in considering only clinical outcomes. Conclusion Regulation of the procedure of diagnosis and treatment,shorten the hospital days;control of bidding link,reduction of intermediate links of buy and reduce implant material costs are effective ways to the economic burden on patients and save medical resources.
