الوصف: | Background: Previous studies have quantified direct inpatient costs of skeletal-related events (SREs); however, costs associated with subsequent post-SRE care have not been examined. Methods: We identified two study cohorts using 2011–2015 Medicare 20% sample data: patients diagnosed with 1) bone metastases from solid tumors or 2) multiple myeloma (MM), both with SRE-related hospitalization discharge dates January 1, 2011-September 30, 2015. We assessed discharge status and costs from discharge to the earliest of death, end of Medicare enrollment, or December 31, 2015. Discharge status was defined as: skilled nursing facility (SNF), rehabilitation facility, hospice, home health agency (HHA), long-term care (LTC) nursing home, LTC hospital, or rehospitalization within or after 30 days. Percentage, stay duration, and Medicare costs were calculated for each setting. All analyses were descriptive. Results: We identified 7988 bone metastases patients and 4277 MM patients discharged from index SRE-related hospitalizations; corresponding mean ages were 76.9 and 76.6 years. The largest proportion of bone metastases patients were discharged to SNF (32.9%), then HHA (13.7%), hospice (13.5%), and LTC (11.3%); the pattern was similar for MM patients (SNF, 35.9%; HHA, 18.2%; hospice, 7.2%; LTC, 1.5%). Almost 10% of patients in both cohorts were re-hospitalized within 30 days. Mean Medicare cost per patient per facility stay was < $10,000 for hospice, and from $15,517 for LTC nursing home to $49,729 for LTC hospital for MM patients. Conclusion: Most elderly cancer patients (>75%) require healthcare facility support after SRE-related hospitalization, with substantial associated costs. Post-discharge management is clinically and economically important. |
