Executive Summary
when policy planners or researchers want to have a good understanding
of costs of services. The information can be leveraged when reported by
medical condition or illness. Being able to distinguish between the effects
of volume of utilization (number of stays) and magnitude of unit cost (average
cost per stay) on total expenditures will help administrators better understand
the costs of providing health services and will provide an important piece of
the evidence required for health policy and planning.
This report on the cost of acute care hospital stays by medical condition uses
Canadian administrative data to answer the key questions related to total
hospital costs for acute care inpatients:
• What is the contribution (percent and dollar) of each ICD-10-CAi clinical
chapter to total acute care inpatient costs?
• What is the breakdown of total acute care inpatient cost into cost per
stay and volume of utilization for each clinical chapter and selected
medical condition?
• How much of the medical condition costs (in percentages) can be
allocated to the treatment or presence of complexities?
• How do hospital costs for acute care inpatients vary by sex and age
group for each clinical chapter and selected medical condition?
Most Expensive Clinical Chapters
Total acute care inpatient cost is estimated to have been $17,046.6 million
for 2004–2005 in Canada, excluding Quebec. Among the ICD-10-CA chapters,
Diseases of the circulatory system is the most expensive clinical chapter,
representing 19.3% (or $3,294.2 million) of total acute care inpatient costs.
The other four clinical chapters that exhibited the highest total acute care
inpatient costs are Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of
external causes ($1,734.9 million or 10.2% of total acute care inpatient costs),
Diseases of the respiratory system ($1,619.3 million or 9.5% of total acute
care inpatient costs), Neoplasms ($1,594.2 million or 9.4% of total acute care
inpatient costs) and Diseases of the digestive system ($1,570.6 million or
9.2% of total acute care inpatient costs).

Number of Stays and Average Cost per Stay
However, in terms of the number of stays, these five clinical chapters ranked
below Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium and Factors influencing health
status and contact with health services, which were the two clinical chapters
with the highest number of stays (314,535 and 312,539 stays, respectively).
In terms of average cost per stay, the five clinical chapters also ranked below
Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities, which
was the clinical chapter with the highest average cost per stay ($13,822). For
all the clinical chapters combined, a total of 2.4 million stays were recorded
and each stay cost on average $6,983.
Share of Acute Care Inpatient Costs That Can Be Attributed to
the Treatment or Presence of Complexities
Of the total amount of $17,046.6 million, 27.3% ($4,653.7 million) can be
attributed to the treatment or presence of complexities. Chapters such as
Certain infectious and parasitic diseases and Diseases of the respiratory
system had a substantial share of their costs associated with the treatment
or presence of complexities (47.5% and 45.5%, respectively).
Sex Differences in Acute Care Inpatient Costs
Total acute care inpatient cost has been estimated at $8,381.7 million for
males and $8,658.8 million for females. However, if childbirth is excluded,
total acute care inpatient cost for females dropped to $7,799.1 million.
Sex differences varied depending on the clinical chapters. For example,
costs for males were higher than those for females for Diseases of the
circulatory system ($1,975.3 million versus $1,315.7 million, or 50.1% higher)
and Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period ($293.2 million
versus $230.2 million, or 27.4% higher); while females had higher costs
for Diseases of the genitourinary system ($382.6 million versus $254.1 million,
or 50.6% higher) and Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective
tissue $524.5 million versus $391.5 million, or 34.0% higher).

What We Know and What We Don’t Know
Finally, a list of what we know on the subject of costs by medical condition
and what we don’t know is provided (for example, average day surgery cost
per patient by clinical chapter and medical condition in Canada, impact of the

A few studies in Canada have dealt with the costs of
illness. For example, the Economic Burden of Illness in
Canada series reports the direct and indirect costs of
certain illnesses for the specific years 1986, 1993 and
1998.2,3,4 These studies are a primary source of information
ii
For the purpose of the study, 2005 data are used. However, forecasts for 2006 and 2007 are available in the National Health
Expenditure Trends, 1975–2007 report.
The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
on the costs of illnesses in the health care system for each reference year.
They use a top-down approach, as do the majority of studies on the economic
cost of illness. In this top-down approach, the total cost is first determined
for a given category of expenses (for example, hospitals or drugs) and then
broken down by diagnostic category using various techniques and clinical
information databases. So, the top-down approach is a method of allocation
that starts with the highest level of expenditures (total cost) and works its way
down to the lowest possible level. Studies using the top-down approach are
sometimes referred to as general cost of illness (COI) studies. In contrast to
the top-down approach, the bottom-up approach starts with the lowest level
of expenditure (that is, the costs by diagnostic category are determined using
data on the costs for each individual record with the diagnostic category)
and combines the smaller components to estimate the total expenditure
for all diseases. Studies using the bottom-up approach are sometimes
referred to as disease-specific COI studies.
A study commissioned by Health Canada5 deals with the level of costs
associated with heart attacks in Canada using the Case Mix Group (CMG)iii
methodology. In this study, the average costs in 2000–2001 for heart attackiv
were used.6 The bottom-up approach is possible because the illness in
question can be clearly identified using the CMGs from CIHI. However, this is
not possible for most of the illnesses, since CMGs are usually derived using a
combination of diagnosis and intervention codes. With the CMG methodology,
the emphasis is not only on the condition itself, but also on the interventions.
A 2006 CIHI study uses the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD)v and the
Canadian MIS Database (CMDB)vi to estimate the costs of giving birth in
Canada.7 The patient groups also came from the CMG methodology. Hospital
spending was assigned to these clinical groups using case-specific Resource

Case Mix Groups (CMGs) are the foundation of acute inpatient grouping, length of stay and Resource Intensity Weight
methodologies. The patient’s most responsible diagnosis (MRDx) is used to assign the case to one of the 25 major clinical
categories (MCCs). Within each MCC, based on the presence or absence of an operative procedure, the case is directed toward a
surgical or medical hierarchy flowchart. As of fiscal year 2007, the CMG methodology was redeveloped to CMG+. The
redevelopment included a confirmation of the overall grouping logic, adjustments to the MCCs, analysis and modification of the
pre-existing comorbidity list, and the creation of the Five-Factor Methodology, which replaces the previous Complexity/Age Overlay.

Heart attack was defined as CMG codes 200 to 208.

The DAD contains demographic, administrative and clinical data for hospital discharges (inpatient acute, chronic, rehabilitation) and
some day surgeries in Canada.

The Canadian MIS Database (CMDB) is the national data source for financial and statistical information about hospitals and health
regions. The data are collected according to a standardized framework for collecting and reporting financial and statistical data on
the day-to-day operations of health service organizations.
data. In this example, again, pregnancy and childbirth can be clearly identified
using CIHI’s CMG; otherwise, the estimation would not be possible.
In the annual reports on health costing in Alberta, the Health Authority Funding
and Financial Accountability Branch reports average cost by CMG derived
from the data submitted by some facilities in Alberta. Similarly, the Ontario

Case Costing Initiative (OCCI) reports average cost by CMG for some
reporting facilities in Ontario. Moreover, the OCCI publishes average cost for
the top 50 diagnoses, based on either volume or cost. A costing analysis tool
(CAT) that allows the user to select the diagnostic codes and have the
corresponding average cost is also available on the OCCI website. However,
analytical studies on total acute care inpatient costs by medical condition do
not seem to exist in these two case-costing provinces.vii
On the international scene, Australia, like Canada, periodically publishes
reports on the cost of illness. The first report,8 which deals with data from
1993–1994, primarily discusses the level of costs. The second report covers
not only the level of costs in 2000–2001, but also the changes in costs from
1993–1994 to 2000–2001.9 These two reports use the top-down approach.
Also, it should be noted that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD), Eurostat and the World Health Organization (WHO)
have examined the feasibility of collecting data by disease category and by
age and gender based on the System of Health Accounts (SHA).10
A recent Dutch study11 compares COI in five countries: Australia, Canada,
France, Germany and the Netherlands. The central question in this study was:
To what extent and why do COI estimates differ internationally? The Dutch
study examined top-down COI studies. The study was a follow-up to a
previous one that compared COI in six countries: Australia, Canada, England,
Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. That study also examined top-down
COI studies.12, viii
In general COI studies, comorbidity is usually not considered. All costs are
assigned to the main diagnosis.12 Even the disease-specific COI studies
mentioned above do not deal with the issue of segregating costs attributed to
the treatment or presence of complexities from overall costs (costs attributed
vii
However, it is easy to estimate total cost when average cost per case has been estimated.
viii
Large differences were found but exact explanations in COI could not be made except for some medical conditions; for example,
higher cost of cancer and skin diseases in Australia because of a higher prevalence; costs of accidents in Australia and Germany
were high because of more accidents.

to the treatment of the primary diagnosis and complexities). Some
other foreign studies address this issue but generally consider only
one specific disease.13,14,15,16
Using survey data and the bottom-up approach, a U.S. study discusses
the medical conditions that are responsible for the growth in health care
expenses.17 It is one of the few studies that estimate the cost of illnesses
for a wide variety of conditions, using the bottom-up approach and
at the same time accounting for complexities.
This report, The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in
Canada, 2004–2005, uses Canadian administrative data and the bottom-up
approach to answer the key questions related to total hospital costs for acute
care inpatients at the pan-Canadian level:
•
What is the contribution (percentage and dollar) of each ICD-10-CAix
clinical chapter to the total acute care inpatient cost?
•
What is the breakdown of total acute care inpatient cost into cost per
stay and volume of utilization for each clinical chapter and selected
medical condition?
•
How much of the medical condition costs (in percentages) can be
attributed to the treatment or presence of complexities?
•
How do hospital costs for acute care inpatients vary by sex and age
group for each clinical chapter and selected medical condition?
The focus of the report is on the level of acute care inpatient costs in
2004–2005. The contribution of the report is twofold: it breaks down total acute
care inpatient costs into cost per stay and number of stays, and it estimates
the share of total acute care inpatient costs that can be allocated to the
treatment or presence of complexity. Complexity (Plx) is a concept in the CMG
methodology that is related to the number and/or severity of the comorbid
conditions of a patient. So, the term Plx is used to mean complexity-related
comorbidities. Complex cases are identified by Plx level 2, 3 or 4; the higher
the Plx level, the more severe the case.

Due to data limitations (see Section 3.4 on Study Limitations), we have
constrained the scope of the study to acute care inpatients. This sector still
constitutes a substantial share of hospital activities. In fact, in 2004–2005,
expenses on acute care inpatient are estimated to have represented 46.6%
of hospital expenses, using the Canadian MIS Database (see Figure 1).

However, it should be acknowledged that ambulatory carex is becoming
a more important treatment setting and there is evidence of a substitution
effect between acute care inpatient cases and day surgery cases: more
conditions are being treated in the day surgery setting instead of the
inpatient setting.
The rest of the report is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the
framework of the study and an overview of the methodology. The results
are presented and discussed in Section 3, followed by the conclusion in
Section 4, including a short discussion on what we know and what we
don’t know.

Ambulatory care includes day surgery and outpatient care provided in clinics and emergency departments.
This report addresses costs of illness
in the acute care inpatient setting for the
jurisdictions submitting data to the Discharge
Abstract Database (DAD). As of 2004–2005,
these jurisdictions included Newfoundland
and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward
Island, New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia,
the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the
Yukon Territory. In the figures that follow,
these jurisdictions are collectively referred
to as the “DAD reporting jurisdictions” (that
is, all jurisdictions except Quebec).
In the context of the bottom-up approach, cost is defined as
the product of average cost per stay for a given illness times
the number of stays relative to this illness. Note that different
methods can be used to implement the bottom-up approach.
A study by researchers at the Pharmaceutical Health Services
Research Department of the University of Maryland provides
an extensive review of the current methods.18
2. Study Framework
and Overview of
the Methodology
The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
Costs are reported at a two-level classification: a chapter level (based on the
ICD-10-CA chapter), and a group level within these chapters. The chapter
level refers to the 20 clinical chapters of ICD-10-CA.xi Each chapter is further
subdivided: first into blocks, then into categories and usually subcategories.
The blocks divide chapters into sections of similar content and are made
up of varying numbers of three-character categories. The categories may be
assigned to a single disease entity (for example, HIV) or to a group of similar
entities (for example, ischemic heart diseases). The 213 medical conditions
selected in this report refer to these ICD-10-CA categories or to the grouplevel classification. Appendix A provides a listing of the clinical chapters and
the medical conditions discussed in this report; it also includes the ICD-10-CA
code ranges of these chapters and medical conditions.
For the volume component of hospital costs, the data source is the
Discharge Abstract Database (DAD). The DAD contains demographic,
administrative and clinical data for hospital discharges (inpatient acute,
chronic and rehabilitation) and some day surgeries in Canada.xii However,
only acute care inpatients are considered in this study.
A stay is defined as any case admitted and discharged with a most
responsible diagnosis (MRDx)xiii of a specified medical condition in the
acute care inpatient setting.xiv A patient who was admitted and discharged
more than one time within a fiscal year would be counted more than once.
In 2004–2005, the total number of DAD acute care inpatient records in the
database was 2,441,665. However, some 366 records (about 1.5 for every
10,000) were excluded, either because of invalid primary diagnostic codes
or because of unknown age.
For the other component of hospital costs, which is average cost per stay, two
other data sources are used: the Ontario Case Costing Initiative (OCCI) and
the Alberta Case-Costing Database.xv Both databases contain record-specific
costing information about inpatients and day surgery patients admitted to the

xi
The three chapters that are excluded from this study are: External causes of morbidity and mortality (Chapter 20); Morphology of
neoplasms (Chapter 22) and Provisional codes for research and temporary assignment (Chapter 23). These chapters do not indicate
anything clinical about the patient and are used only as supplemental codes. They could never be the most responsible diagnosis.
xii
Not all day surgery (DS) is captured in DAD, a separate NACRS (National Ambulatory Care Reporting System) database exists
where DS is captured in some provinces (such as Ontario).
xiii
The 2004 Canadian Coding Standards definition of MRDx is: The one diagnosis or condition that can be described as being most
responsible for the patient’s stay in hospital. If there is more than one such condition, the one held most responsible for the greatest
portion of the length of stay or greatest use of resources should be selected. If no diagnosis was made, the main symptom,
abnormal finding or problem should be selected as the MRDx.
xiv
This corresponds to Institution_type = 1 in the DAD.
xv
There are a small number of case-costing hospitals in other provinces, such as B.C.
are teaching or large/community hospitals. It should be noted that neither of
the databases includes fee-for-services for physicians (for example, surgeon
fees and other fees). So, the inpatient acute care costs presented in this
report are an underestimation of the costs of illnesses as they exclude
payments to physicians. In 2004–2005, the aggregate number of acute care
inpatient records in these two case-costing databases was 458,844, which
represents 18.8% of the population (the total number of DAD acute care
inpatient records).
Cost for each record in the case-costing databases is allocated to the MRDx.

participating hospitals. In both databases, most of the participating hospitals
However, if it is a complex case (which is identified by the presence of Plx
level 2, 3 or 4 in the record), an adjustment is made to the cost of the record
in order to capture the cost of treating the primary diagnosis exclusively.xvi
This adjustment is made via regression analysis, which is ultimately used to
estimate the share of total acute care inpatient costs due to the treatment
or presence of complexitiesxvii (see Section “Adjusting for Complexities”
in Appendix B for the full details of the methodology).
It is generally agreed that the cost to provide health care is not the same
across the country. This difference should be fully taken into account if
we want to estimate hospital costs for all the jurisdictions. However,
comprehensive data to account for input price differences are not available,
except for compensation. Therefore, only price differences for salaries and
compensation can be considered to adjust for differences in costs to provide
hospital care across the country. This is still a substantial proportion of inputs
used in hospitals; for example, in 2004–2005, salaries and compensationxviii
accounted for up 62% of hospital expenditures, 72% if employment benefits
are included.19 It should be noted that physician fee-for-service payments are
not included in the case-costing databases, and therefore are not included in
the compensation methodology either. Also, the total acute inpatient costs
reported in this study do not include any cost that may be incurred by (or
imputed to) the patient (such as out-of-pocket expenses or mortality or
morbidity costs due to disability).
xvi
Note that this is different from adjustment for outliers.
xvii
In the CMG methodology, complexity level is based upon the number of significant comorbidities, which are based upon whether or
not they are in the same body system or whether or not they were post-admit comorbidities.
xviii
For management and operational support employees (for example, those employees who are involved in the decision-making
process and provide support to those carrying out the mandate of the organization) and unit-producing personnel employees
(those employees called front-line workers who carry out the mandate of the functional centre).

The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
Note that in order to capture costs for all stays and levels of complexity, no
adjustment was made for outliers.xix Costs calculated on an average basis for
hospital stays are influenced by the extreme stays of relatively few patients.
Therefore, the average cost will generally be higher than the median.
xix
10
If a trim factor of 1.5 times the inter-quartile range was applied, just over 1.0% of all the cases would
be considered outliers.
This section presents the results of the
analysis on acute care inpatient costs, first
by clinical chapters and then for selected
medical conditions. For a comprehensive
description of the data and the bottom-up
methodology used to produce these results,

Clinical Chapters
3.1.1. Total Acute Care Inpatient Costs, All Age Groups
and Sexes
Acute care inpatient costs are reported below for the 20 clinical chapters for
all age groups and sexes combined. These cost estimates are for stays with
all levels of complexity (this means they include cost for the treatment of the
primary diagnosis and cost for the treatment or presence of complexities—
Plx level 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9 in the CMG methodology) and are labelled “total
acute care inpatient costs.”
Total acute care inpatient cost is estimated to have been $17,046.6 million in
2004–2005 for Canada, excluding Quebec and fee-for-service payments.
Acute care inpatient cost for treating Diseases of the circulatory system is
estimated to have been $3,294.2 million in 2004–2005. This represents 19.3%
of total acute care inpatient costs and makes it the most expensivexx clinical
chapter. The other four clinical chapters with the highest total costs are Injury,
poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes ($1,734.9 million
or 10.2% of total acute care inpatient costs), Diseases of the respiratory
system ($1,619.3 million or 9.5% of total acute care inpatient costs),
Neoplasms ($1,594.2 million or 9.4% of total acute care inpatient costs) and
Diseases of the digestive system ($1,570.6 million or 9.2% of total acute care
inpatient costs) (see Figure 2). To find out some of the diseases or medical
conditions included in these chapters, see Appendix A.
These five clinical chapters all together represent 57.6% of acute care
inpatient costs and are the most expensive ones. Given the fact that health
care expenditure is mostly concentrated in the last year of life,20 and
cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and malignant neoplasms (cancers) are
among the diseases with the highest mortality rates,21 it is not surprising that
they account for almost 30% of acute care inpatient costs. The two clinical
chapters with the lowest acute care inpatient costs are Diseases of the ear and
mastoid process ($27.5 million or 0.2% of total acute care inpatient costs) and
Diseases of the eye and adnexa ($20.1 million or 0.1% of total acute care
inpatient costs).

3.1.2 Number of Acute Care Inpatient Stays and Estimate of
Average Cost per Stay by Clinical Chapter, 2004–2005, DAD
Reporting Jurisdictions
The decomposition of total acute care inpatient cost into unit cost (average
cost per stay) and number of stays helps to determine the weight of each of
these factors in the total acute care inpatient cost for each chapter. Not
surprisingly, the most expensive clinical chapters are the ones that experience
both high unit cost and high number of stays. For example, Diseases of the
circulatory system had the second-highest unit cost ($11,260) and the thirdhighest number of stays (292,562); Neoplasms had the third-highest unit cost
($10,650) and the seventh-highest number of stays (149,683); Injury, poisoning
and certain other consequences of external causes had the sixth-highest unit
cost ($9,405) and number of stays (184,475) (see Figure 3).
However, even though Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium and Factors
influencing health status and contact with health services are the most
common clinical chapters in terms of number of stays (314,535 and 312,539,
respectively), these chapters do not rank high in terms of total costs. This
could be explained by the fact that these chapters experienced relatively low
unit costs ($2,733 and $2,641, respectively); they rank as the last two clinical
chapters in terms of average cost per stay. The chapter Factors influencing
health status and contact with health services includes codes that may be
used to describe scenarios for patients who have already been treated for a
disease or injury, but who are receiving follow-up or prophylactic care,
convalescent care, palliative care or care to consolidate the treatment, to deal
with residual states, to ensure that the condition has not recurred or to prevent
recurrence. Among other things, healthy newborns, live tissue donors,
admissions for chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments and admissions
for dialysis are included in this chapter.xxi
On the other hand, Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal
abnormalities ranks first in terms of unit cost ($13,822), but is among the last
five chapters in terms of total costs because of its low volume (14,904).
The type of cases in this chapter includes the major birth defects, such as
nervous system or heart anomalies, with high unit cost. For all the clinical
chapters combined, a total of 2.4 million stays were recorded and each stay
cost on average $6,983.
xxi
14
Chapter 21 Factors influencing health status and contact with health services contains some items that could be classified in other
chapters (for example, Healthy newborn babies). However, these items were not allocated back because the objective was to report
costs by ICD-10-CA chapter.

3.1.3. Share of Total Acute Care Inpatient Costs Due to
the Treatment or Presence of Complexities, Selected
Clinical Chapters, All Age Groups and Sexes
Patients differ with respect to the extent that their care is complicated.
This can be looked at from the point of view of the number of diagnoses
made, the number of interventions performed or the level of complexity of
the case. This study uses the level of complexity in the CMG methodology
to break down total acute care inpatient costs into costs attributed for
the treatment of the primary diagnosis (that is, costs for stays without
complexity—Plx level 1 and 9) and costs attributed for the treatment or
presence of complex cases (that is, costs for stays with complexity
levels 2, 3 and 4). Both treatment and presence of complexities are
considered because sometimes, the sheer fact of having a complexity
means that potentially more time or additional interventions may be
required to treat the primary diagnosis. Figure 4 reports the share of
costs attributed to the treatment or presence of complexities for each
clinical chapter, except for conditions that are not part of the CMG/Plx
methodology: Mental and behavioral disorders; Pregnancy, childbirth
and the puerperium; Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period; HIV;
and some trauma cases.xxii
Of the total amount of $17,046.6 million, 27.3% ($4,653.7 million) can be
attributed to the treatment or presence of complexities. Chapters such as
Certain infectious and parasitic diseases,xxiii and Diseases of the respiratory
system had a substantial share of their costs associated with the treatment
or presence of complexities (47.5% and 45.5%, respectively). Patients
with infectious diseases such as septicemia or hepatitis usually have
other significant comorbidities. Also, patients admitted for treatment of
respiratory diseases may be at the end of their life and have other
significant complexities. On the other hand, the share of costs due
to complexity is minor for Diseases of the eye and adnexa and Diseases
of the ear and mastoid process (2.7% and 3.4%, respectively).
16
xxii
Plx level 9 (complexity not due to comorbid conditions) is assigned to medical conditions in these clinical categories or chapters.
xxiii
For Certain infectious and parasitic diseases, the share of cost that can be allocated to complexity stands out even though for one
disease in this chapter (HIV), the Plx methodology does not apply.

The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
3.1.4. Total Acute Care Inpatient Costs by Sex and
Clinical Chapter
Total acute care inpatient cost has been estimated at $8,381.7 million for
males and $8,658.8 million for females. The difference from the totalxxiv is due
to rounding and/or the category “Other”xxv for sex.
It should be noted that the chapter with the highest number of stays is
Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium; this factor alone should account for
the higher relative total cost for women: total acute care inpatient cost for this
chapter was $859.7 million. This means that if this chapter is excluded, total
acute care inpatient costs for women become $7,799.1 million or 7.5% lower
than that of men. Besides, sex difference in acute care inpatient costs varied
by clinical chapter. For some chapters, the cost for males was higher than that
for females (for example, Diseases of the circulatory system [$1,975.3 million
versus $1,315.7 million, or 50.1% higher], Certain conditions originating in the
perinatal period [$293.2 million versus $230.2 million, or 27.4% higher],
Diseases of the respiratory system [$873.7 million versus $745.9 million,
or 17.1% higher], Diseases of the nervous system [$187.6 million versus
$169.0 million, or 11.0% higher], Injury, poisoning and certain other
consequences of external causes [$906.6 million versus $827.3 million,
or 9.6% higher] and Neoplasms [$815.5 million versus $778.0 million,
or 4.8% higher]). On the other hand, for some medical conditions, the
cost for females was higher than that for males (for example, Diseases
of the genitourinary system [$382.6 million versus $254.1 million, or 50.6%
higher], Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
[$524.5 million versus $391.5 million, or 34.0% higher], Diseases of the blood
and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune system
[$77.9 million versus $63.8 million, or 22.1% higher], Mental and behavioural
disorders [$580.5 million versus $537.4 million, or 8.0% higher]). See Figure 5
for estimates of total acute care inpatient costs by clinical chapter. Note that
the chapter Diseases of the genitourinary system includes most of the medical
conditions for which hysterectomies are performed, as well as the medical
conditions leading to genitourinary repairs for birth-related conditions (for
example, prolapse). The analysis by age group and sex in Section 3.1.5
offers more insights in this regard.
18
xxiv
This difference is $6.1 million or 0.04%.
xxv
The category “Other” includes undifferentiated sex, transsexuals and hermaphrodites. It is difficult to get estimates of acute care
costs for this category because the number of records in the case-costing databases is too few or non-existent.

The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
Even though the total acute care inpatient cost for males was about 3.2%
lower than that for females,xxvi the average cost per stay for male acute care
inpatients was globally higher than that for females ($7,964 versus $6,236, or
27.7% higher). Again, this is partly explained by the pregnancy stays: higher
volume and lower cost per unit. Higher unit cost for men was observed for
example in the case of Neoplasms ($12,292 versus $9,335, or 31.7% higher),
Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases ($9,318 versus $7,730, or 20.5%
higher) and Diseases of the genitourinary system ($5,652 versus $4,698, or
20.3% higher). See Figure 6 for estimates of average cost per stay by
clinical chapter.
However, the lower number of male acute care inpatient stays (1,052,482
versus 1,388,612, or 24.2% lower) more than compensated for the higher unit
cost (if the chapter Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium is excluded, the
number of male acute care inpatient stays is just 2.0% lower than that of the
females’).xxvii The number of male acute care inpatients was particularly lower
for Diseases of the genitourinary system (44,956 versus 81,440, or 44.8%
lower), Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders
involving the immune mechanism (8,983 versus 11,473, or 21.7% lower) and
Neoplasms (66,340 versus 83,343, or 20.4% lower) (see Figure 7). It should
be noted that for certain clinical chapters, such as Diseases of the circulatory
system, Diseases of the nervous system and Diseases of the respiratory
system, figures for both unit cost and volume are higher for males than for
females. It is reported that women have less heart disease than men,22 even
though CVD is the leading cause of mortality in women.23
xxvi
In 2004, the National Health Expenditure Database (NHEX) estimate of provincial and territorial government hospital expenditure
was $16,819.2 million for men, 10.5% lower than the $18,803.8 million for women.
xxvii The number of hospital stays for women was 1,074,077 if the chapter Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium was excluded.

Figure 8 reports acute care inpatient costs for the most expensive clinical
chapters by age group and sex.
For all clinical chapters combined, prior to age 75, total acute care inpatient
Acute Care Inpatient Costs
3.1.5. Total Acute Care Inpatient Costs by Age Group, Sex and
Selected Clinical Chapters
costs in each of the age groups were generally higher for males than for
females, except for the 15-to-44-year age group, where acute care inpatient
costs were about two-thirds higher for females than for males (see Figure 8.1).
This is mainly due to the child-bearing factor; that is, the fact of giving birth,
or the medical conditions arising as a result of giving birth, like soft tissue
damage, prolapse and indications for hysterectomy. In the age group 85 years
and over, acute care inpatient costs for females were about 70.0% higher than
those for males ($974.1 million versus $572.0 million). It should be noted that
the share of women in this age group in the general population was more than
twice that of men (1.0% versus 0.4% in 2004). In other words, this difference in
costs is due to the fact that women live longer than men.
For certain clinical chapters, male patients systematically bear higher costs
than their female counterparts in all of the age groups, up to the age of 84.
This is the case for Diseases of the circulatory system and Diseases of the
respiratory system. For the former chapter, heart attack is the disease that
accounts for the main difference, while for the latter, virtually all diseasesxxviii
within the chapter account for the difference. For Neoplasms, male patients
bear higher costs than their female counterparts only for the 65-to-74 and
75-to-84 age groups, partly due to the effect of prostate cancer. In the case
of Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases, male patients bear higher
costs than their female counterparts for the 45-to-64 and 65-to-74 age groups,
partly due to the effect of diabetes.
Even though male patients prior to age 75 generally bear higher costs than
their female counterparts, females in some of these age groups have higher
acute care inpatient costs for certain clinical chapters. For example, this is
the case for the following diseases where females in the 15-to-44 age group
experienced higher costs than their male counterparts: Diseases of the
genitourinary system ($116.2 million versus $28.5 million); Neoplasms
($116.0 million versus $68.6 million); Diseases of the digestive system
($180.7 million versus $157.5 million); and Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic
diseases ($43.8 million versus $33.5 million). Females in the 45-to-64 age
group also experienced higher costs for Diseases of the genitourinary system.
xxviii Except for asthma, where total acute care cost is slightly higher for females than for males.
23
The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
Moreover, slightly higher costs are generally incurred for Mental and
behavioural disorders for females from the age groups 45 years and over
(see appropriate chart in the set of Figures 8). In the case of Diseases of the
genitourinary system, it is not surprising to see this substantial sex difference
in costs for the 15-to-44 age group, given that this chapter includes medical
conditions related to birth (for example, female genital prolapse). As for
Neoplasms, the impact of breast cancer is seen in the 15-to-44 age group.
The leading cause of cancer death in women under 50 is breast cancer.24
The sex difference in costs for Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
for this age group is partly due to obesity and other hyperalimentation.
Number of stays for this condition in the 15-to-44 age group was about
nine times as many for women as for men (1,184 versus 128).xxix
Because of greater longevity, acute care costs for females aged 75 and over
are generally higher than those for males. However, for the chapter Injury,
poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes, this difference
is very substantial (for example, $171.3 million for women versus $59.1 million
for men, or almost three times higher in the 85+ age group). This is likely due
to fractures of the femur, resulting from the combined effect of falls and higher
prevalence of osteoporosis. It is well known that prevalence of osteoporosis is
higher in women than in men.25 The sex difference is also large for the chapter
Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (for example,
$144.7 million for women versus $74.5 million for men, or almost twice as high
in the 75-to-84 age group). This is likely due to the impact of arthritis.

3.2 Acute Care Inpatient Costs for Selected
Medical Conditions
The other reporting level for acute care inpatient costs is for medical
conditions, which are disease categories within a clinical chapter. Costs are
discussed for the 15 most expensive medical conditions or groups of medical
conditions; that is, the 15 medical conditions or groups of medical conditions
with the highest total acute care inpatient costs.

age groups and sexes combined (Appendix C). Because costs for specific
illnesses are reported, this section provides more granular information on the
level of total acute care inpatient costs. As in the case of the clinical chapters,
these cost estimates are for stays with all levels of complexity. Section 3.2.3. of
the report shows how to get estimates for the treatment of the primary
Acute Care Inpatient Costs
of the 213 selected medical conditions or groups of medical conditions for all
diagnosis only, using the share of costs due to complexity.
The 15 most expensive medical conditions account for 31.4% ($5,358.6 million)
of total acute care costs. Table 1 presents the list of these medical conditions,
along with their total acute care inpatient costs.
The top two most expensive diseases were acute myocardial infarction (AMI),
commonly referred to as heart attack ($510.8 million), and cerebrovascular
diseases, commonly referred to as strokexxx ($509.4 million) (see Figure 9).
As expected, they belong to the most expensive clinical chapter, Diseases
of the circulatory system (IX). Heart failure also ranked high in this chapter
($425.6 million). Moreover, with a total acute care inpatient cost of $438.7 million,
Chronic lower respiratory diseases, except asthma ranked third among the
most expensive medical conditions. This group of diseases includes chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, emphysema and
bronchiectasis, belonging to the chapter Diseases of the respiratory system (X).
Pneumonia, which ranked seventh in the list ($387.0 million), is also part of the
same chapter. Because of the high number of stays, Complications of
pregnancy predominantly during labour and delivery and Complications of
pregnancy predominantly in the antenatal period made the list of the 15 most
expensive medical conditions ($426.9 million and $330.6 million, respectively).
These medical conditions represented 49.7% and 38.5%, respectively, of the
costs in the chapter Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (XV), suggesting
that most of the pregnancy and childbirth cases involve some complications.
However, this might be partly due to coding practices in Canada. If there is
evidence of any potential or actual problem with the labour and delivery, any
problem with the fetus or an existing condition that complicates the pregnancy,
a complication code will be assigned. Even the presence of a perineal tear (not
episiotomy) that is repaired following delivery warrants an obstetric code in
the MRDx position, bumping the case from a completely normal case to one
with complications.xxxi
xxx
ICD-10-CA codes for stroke are I60–I64 and I66. However, cerebrovascular diseases (I60–I69) are a larger group and include
occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries, not resulting in cerebral infarction; cerebrovascular disorders in diseases classified
elsewhere; and sequelae of cerebrovascular disease.
xxxi
A completely normal labour and delivery (vaginal delivery or primary elective Caesarean section) of a singleton fetus will
have a MRDx of Z37.0.

With total acute care inpatient costs of $409.4 million and $283.8 million,
respectively, mood disorders and schizophrenia ranked among the 15 most
expensive medical conditions. These illnesses, from the chapter Mental and
behavioural disorders (V), have substantial average costs per stay on top of
a relatively high number of stays (see Figure 10).
28
consequences of external causes (XIX), had a total acute care inpatient cost
of $352.4 million and ranked eighth among the 15 most expensive medical
conditions. Demand for the most common procedure associated with this
condition—hip and knee replacement—is consistently high to the point that
it is among the five targeted priority procedures to reduce wait times.
Acute Care Inpatient Costs
Fracture of femur, from the chapter Injury, poisoning and certain other
With total acute care inpatient costs of $324.1 million, disorders related to
short gestation and low birth weight (from Chapter XVI: Certain conditions
originating in the perinatal period) made the list of the 15 most expensive
medical conditions, because of their relatively high average cost per stay.
Patients with diabetes mellitus (from Chapter IV: Endocrine, nutritional and
metabolic diseases) are also expensive ($283.9 million), ranking eleventh
on the list. Acute care inpatient costs for malignant neoplasm of lymphoid,
hematopoietic and related tissue, and malignant neoplasm of colon, rectum
and anus (from Chapter II: Neoplasms) were $237.7 million and $213.9 million,
respectively, making them the most costly groups of malignancies. Malignant
neoplasm of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue (including among
other diseases, leukemia and Hodgkin’s disease) is the third leading cause of
death from malignant neoplasms for both men and women, while malignant
neoplasm of colon, rectum and anus is the second leading cause of cancer
death for both sexes.24, xxxii Acute care inpatient cost for gonarthrosis or
arthrosis of the knee (from Chapter XIII: Diseases of the muscoskeletal system
and connective tissue) is high enough ($224.4 million) to make the list of the
15 most expensive medical conditions, even though it ranked among the last
two medical conditions in the list.xxxiii
3.2.2. Number of Acute Care Inpatient Stays and Estimates
of Average Cost per Stay for the 15 Most Expensive Medical
Conditions, All Age Groups and Sexes
Average cost per stay (unit cost) and number of stays are presented in
Figure 10 for the 15 most expensive medical conditions or group of medical
conditions for all age groups and sexes combined (for unit cost estimates,
standard deviations and number of stays for the 213 medical conditions, see
appropriate columns in Appendix C). Also, Appendix D provides the same
xxxii The leading cause of cancer death for both sexes is malignant neoplasm of trachea, bronchus and lung, with a total acute care
inpatient cost of $150.9 million.
xxxiii There are other groups of medical conditions or code categories that could make the list of the 15 most expensive medical
conditions, but they are rather very broad and do not particularly identify specific illnesses or groups of illnesses. For example, the
code range Other persons encountering health services for specific procedures and health care as an MRDx are not indicating a
condition but rather a “health care delivery scenario” and include: follow-up care involving plastic surgery; adjustment and
management of implanted device (for example, cardiac pacemaker, infusion pump); care involving dialysis; convalescence; etc.
Total acute care inpatient costs for these stays were substantial ($373.9 million). However, this code range was not chosen.
29
The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
information by age group and sex for selected medical conditions. These
medical conditions were selected depending on the age group.xxxiv These unit
costs include costs for the treatment of the primary diagnosis as well as costs
for the treatment or presence of complexities.
In 2004–2005, among the 15 most expensive medical conditions, Complications
of pregnancy, predominantly during labour and delivery was the medical
condition with the highest number of stays (157,540 stays or 50.1% of the
total number of stays in the chapter). This suggests that half of all deliveries
involved complications. This is partly due to coding standards in Canada.
For example, subsequent C-section in a patient with a previous one is
assigned to a complication code, as is a successful vaginal delivery in a
patient previously delivered by C-section, even if the second delivery is
considered “completely normal.”
Complications of pregnancy predominantly in the antenatal period were the
second-most common medical conditions (108,496 stays or 34.5% of the
total number of stays in the chapter). Again, the coding practices could partly
account for this. Chronic lower respiratory diseases, except asthmaxxxv were
the third-most common medical conditions (54,434 stays) followed by heart
attack (46,252 stays) and mood disorders (44,942 stays).
On the other hand, Malignant neoplasm of lymphoid, hematopoietic and
related tissue had the highest average cost per stay ($22,546) among the
15 most expensive medical conditions.xxxvi Bone marrow transplant and other
procedures, such as high-dose chemotherapy, radiation, isolation, etc.,
partly explain the high cost per stay for patients with leukemia and other
malignancies in this category.
Disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight were the most
expensive medical conditions with the second-highest average cost per stay
($16,379), followed by Cerebrovascular diseases ($14,261); Fracture of femur
($13,565); and Malignant neoplasm of colon, rectum and anus ($13,277).
Both Complications of pregnancy predominantly during labour and delivery and
Complications of pregnancy predominantly in the antenatal period have low
unit cost ($2,710 and $3,047, respectively). They make the list of the 15 most
expensive medical conditions because of their high volume.
xxxiv For example, for age groups younger than 45 years old, Alzheimer’s disease is not selected. However, this medical condition is
selected for age groups 45 years old and over.
xxxv
This corresponds to code categories J40–J44 and J47 and includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis,
emphysema and bronchiectasis.
xxxvi Note that adult respiratory distress syndrome had the highest average cost per case among the 213 medical conditions ($83,694),
followed by rheumatic fever with heart involvement ($39,748).

3.2.3. Share of Total Acute Care Inpatient Costs Due to the
Treatment or Presence of Complexities, Selected Medical
Conditions, All Age Groups and Sexes
As stated previously in Section 3.1, total acute care inpatient costs include
costs attributed for the treatment of the primary diagnosis and costs attributed
for the treatment or presence of complexities. Figure 11 reports the share of
costs attributed to the treatment or presence of complexities for the 15 most
expensive medical conditions, except for those that are not part of the
CMG/Plx methodology: mood disorders; schizophrenia, schizotypal and
delusional disorders; complications of pregnancy predominantly during labour
and delivery; complications of pregnancy predominantly in the antenatal
period; and disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight.xxxvii
The share of total acute care inpatient costs due to the treatment or presence
of complexities for the other medical conditions is reported in Appendix E.
It should be noted that the objective of this section is to investigate the share
of cost due to the treatment or presence of complexities, no matter which
chapter these complexities might come from. Which specific complexities
or comorbidities contribute to the costs is not investigated.xxxviii
Among the selected most expensive medical conditions, Malignant neoplasm
of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue was the disease group with the
highest share of costs due to complexities (56.6%).xxxix Cerebrovascular
diseases ranked second in terms of share of costs due to complexities
(41.4%), followed closely by Diabetes mellitus (41.2%); Pneumonia (41.0%);
Chronic lower respiratory diseases, except asthma (40.8%); and Heart failure
(39.4%). Arthrosis of knee was the condition with the lowest share of costs
due to complexities (6.4%).
For most of the 213 medical conditions,xl the share of cost attributed to the
treatment or presence of complexity can be used to determine the costs of the
treatment of the primary diagnosis only. For this purpose, the numbers in
Appendix E can be used. For example, the total acute care inpatient cost for
heart failure was estimated to be $425.6 million, which represents the cost of
the treatment of the primary diagnosis (heart failure) and the complexities
xxxvii Plx level 9 is assigned to these five groups of medical conditions.
xxxviii If the objective was to assess which comorbidities contribute to the costs of treatment, then the complexities or comorbidities would
have to be cross-linked among chapters or be more specifically specified.
xxxix In the case-costing databases, there were almost as many stays for malignant neoplasm of lymphoid with complexity related to
potentially life-threatening condition(s) as stays with no complexity or comorbidity, and about 18% of all the stays were for patients
aged 75 and over. Moreover, some diseases in this group, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma and mycosis
fungoides, are known to affect mainly adults over 55. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia affects children under 5 but then the disease
has another peak of incidence in adults over 65 years of age.

associated with this disease. The share of cost attributed to the treatment or
presence of complexity for heart failure is 39.4% or 0.394. So, the estimate for
the total acute care inpatient costs for the treatment of heart failure would be
$257.9 million ($425.6 million x [1 - 0.394]), and the costs for complexities
when heart failure was the primary diagnosis would be $167.7 million
($425.6 million x 0.394).

3.3. Comparison With Other Studies and Results
A few studies about the level of hospital costs by disease are available in
Canada, among others, the Economic Burden of Illness in Canada series.
Comparisons with these studies remain difficult because they report costs for
years prior to 2004–2005 for all hospital activities and use a top-down
approach, which is generally more comprehensive, though less accurate.
On the other hand, this current study uses a bottom-up approach and does
not cover the whole range of hospital settings because there are some data
and methodology requirements that could not be met with the bottom-up
approach.xli This explains why hospital costs in this report are for acute care
inpatients only. Moreover, because complexity is taken into account using the
CMG methodology, the numbers in the current study exclude institutions in
Quebec. These factors explain why a straight comparison is not possible
between the current study and other cost-of-illness studies.
Some comparison can still be made, as long as caution is exercised and
the limitations are considered. Existing studies,4,9,17 either with the top-down
approach or the bottom-up approach, ranked Diseases of the circulatory
system as the most expensive clinical chapter, as does this report. Also,
a CIHI study26 found that Canadian hospitals outside of Quebec and rural
Manitoba spent an estimated $821 million on pregnancy and childbirth
services for typical maternal inpatients in 2002–2003. This figure is relatively
in line with the $859.7 million estimated in this report for acute care inpatients
hospitalized in 2004–2005 for Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium,
even though the two studies use different methodologies.
From the costing analysis tool of the OCCI,27 the following average costs per
stay are derived for some diagnosis codes in 2004–2005.xlii These average
costs are compared with those in this report:
34
xli
For example, there is a need to have a clear definition and identification of day surgery cases across the country.
xlii
Most of the ICD-10-CA codes in the OCCI costing analysis tool are at the four-digit level or more. Therefore, it is not possible to
compare most of the codes in the current study, in which most of the ICD-10-CA codes are at the three-digit level.

The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
The comparison reveals that the average costs per stay in this report are
within ±9% of OCCI averages, which is fairly reasonable given that in this
report, Ontario and Alberta data are combined and adjustment is made to
report cost at the pan-Canadian level.
At the global level, comparison can be done using the Canadian
MIS Database (CMDB). From CMDB 2004–2005, total spending on
acute care inpatients was estimated to be $14,570.8 million for Canada,
excluding Quebec. Total acute care inpatient cost in this report was $17,046.6
million for Canada, excluding Quebec, which translates to a difference of
$2,475.8 million or about 17% higher. This difference could be partly due to
the fact that case-costing facilities are not a random sample but are rather
biased toward high-cost facilities, namely teaching facilities. Teaching facilities
made up two-thirds of Ontario and Alberta case-costing records. This sample
bias could result in an overestimation of the figures in the current study.xliii The
difference could also be due to some methodological difference relating to the
allocation of operational support cost.xliv
3.4. Study Limitations
There are some issues to consider in the interpretation and utilization of
the results presented. Even though they are interrelated, they can be
generally classified into two categories: case-costing data issues and
methodological issues.
One costing data issue is coding variation that may exist in some facilities.
If there is coding variation of comorbid conditions, this will cause a bias in cost
per stay at the complexity level. However, coding variations are considered
less critical for the data year considered in this study (2004–2005) and are
unlikely to have any major impact on the results presented.xlv
Another study limitation is the non-random availability of case-cost
data. These data are collected on a voluntary basis and are not likely
representative of all facilities within the province or across Canada. For
example, in 2004–2005, the number of records in the health-costing
databases in Ontario and Alberta represented 30.8% of the inpatient
36
xliii
The overestimation results when the model that fits the high-cost facilities is applied to the whole population.
xliv
For example, the CMDB allocation of most support costs including plant, computer systems and institutional administration is
prorated based on total expenditures recorded in each sector. The intensity of support for the acute inpatient setting in terms of
management and support is higher than this prorated share. The $14.6 billion figure in CMDB would be higher if inpatient costs
were attributed on the same basis.
xlv
Coding variations are considered more critical for the data years 2000–2001 and 2001–2002.
further statistical analyses if it were randomly selected, but it is not. A large
number of facilities submitting cost data are teaching hospitals with higher
volume of interventions than that generally seen in community or rural facilities.
The case-costing facilities tend to have higher costs, but tend to be more
efficient (in terms of lower mortality rate and observed length of stay) for some
Acute Care Inpatient Costs
activity in these two provinces.xlvi A sample of this size would be adequate for
medical conditions.28 This could offset the cost differences between the types
of facilities and hence, reduce the impact of the non-representative sample.
On the methodological side, in the CMG/Plx methodology, comorbidities
and thus complexity were not applied in the major clinical categories (MCCs)
of Mental Diseases, HIV, Newborns and Neonates, and Pregnancy and
Childbirth. However, in the CMG+ methodology implemented for 2007–2008
data, the comorbidity factor is utilized in all of these MCCs and it will be
possible to allocate complexity costs to these medical conditions. It is
documented that patients with mental disorders experience significant
complexities. A U.S. study29 suggests that the bulk of the cost of treating a
patient with depression in a primary care setting is for care of accompanying
illnesses (up to 72%).
Note also that complexity level is not assigned for some CMGs in the
MCC Significant Trauma.xlvii This suggests that the share of cost attributed
to the treatment or presence of complexity for the chapter Injury, poisoning
and certain other consequences of external causes (30.5%) is likely an
under-estimation.
The inpatient acute care costs presented in this report are generally an
underestimation of the cost of illnesses, as they exclude any fee-for-service
component for physicians or any costs that may be incurred by (or imputed
to) the patient, such as out-of-pocket expenses or mortality or morbidity
costs due to disability.
Moreover, the scope of this study does not include the complete range of
hospital services, such as day surgery, rehabilitation and chronic care; neither
does it analyze the influence of the mix of interventions. Moreover, the data
on which the study is based do not cover all jurisdictions across Canada.
A further study including the complete range of health care settings, treatments
and jurisdictions in Canada may lead to findings different from those of this
study and provide a more comprehensive picture of the full costs of health
care in Canada.
xlvi
For Ontario and Alberta, there were 1,490,140 inpatient records in the DAD and 458,844 inpatient records in the case-costing
databases in 2004–2005.
xlvii
Those CMGs are: CMGs 651–659 and CMGs 674–679.
37
This report focuses on the level of acute care
inpatient costs by clinical chapter and for
selected medical conditions or groups of
medical conditions. It discusses the
contribution of cost per stay and volume
(number of stays) to total acute care inpatient
costs, as well as the share of total inpatient
costs that can be attributed to the treatment
or presence of complexities. Next, the report
discusses variation in acute care inpatient
costs by age group and sex for each clinical
chapter. Finally, acute care inpatient costs for
the 15 most expensive medical conditions are
presented. Note that fee-for-service payments
to physicians are not included in the acute
care inpatient costs reported in this study.
Among the ICD-10-CA chapters, Diseases of the circulatory
system remains the most expensive clinical chapter, representing
19.3% (or $3,294.2 million) of total acute care inpatient costs
in 2004–2005. The other four clinical chapters that exhibited
the highest total acute care inpatient costs were Injury,
poisoning and certain other consequences of external cause
($1,734.9 million or 10.2% of total acute care inpatient costs),
4. Conclusion
The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
Diseases of the respiratory system ($1,619.3 million or 9.5% of total acute
care inpatient costs), Neoplasms ($1,594.2 million or 9.4% of total acute care
inpatient costs) and Diseases of the digestive system ($1,570.6 million or 9.2%
of total acute care inpatient costs).
However, in terms of number of stays, these five clinical chapters ranked
below the chapters Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium and Factors
influencing health status and contact with health services, which were the
two clinical chapters with the highest number of stays (314,535 and 312,539,
respectively). In terms of average cost per stay, the five most expensive
clinical chapters also ranked below Congenital malformations, deformations
and chromosomal abnormalities, which was the clinical chapter with the
highest average cost per stay ($13,822). For all the clinical chapters
combined, a total of 2.4 million stays were recorded and each stay cost
on average $6,983.
Of the total amount of $17,046.6 million, 27.3% ($4,653.7 million) can be
attributed to the treatment or presence of complexities. Chapters such as
Certain infectious and parasitic diseases and Diseases of the respiratory
system had a substantial share of the costs associated with the treatment
or presence of complexities (47.5% and 45.5%, respectively).
Total acute care inpatient cost has been estimated at $8,381.7 million for
males and $8,658.8 million for females. Sex difference varied by clinical
chapter: costs for males are higher than those for females in clinical
chapters such as Diseases of the circulatory system; Certain conditions
originating in the perinatal period; Diseases of the respiratory system;
Diseases of the nervous system; Injury, poisoning and certain other
consequences of external causes; and Neoplasms. However, the opposite
is true for some other clinical chapters: costs for females are higher than
those for males in clinical chapters such as Diseases of the genitourinary
system; Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue;
Diseases of the blood; and Mental and behavioural disorders.
In terms of total acute care inpatient costs, the 15 most expensive medical
conditions or group of medical conditions are (in order): AMI (heart attack);
cerebrovascular diseases; chronic lower respiratory diseases, except asthma;
heart failure; complications of pregnancy predominantly during labour and
delivery; mood disorders; pneumonia; fracture of femur; complications of
pregnancy predominantly in the antenatal period; disorders related to short
gestation and low birth weight; diabetes mellitus; schizophrenia, schizotypal

and related tissue; arthrosis of the knee; and malignant neoplasms of colon,

4.1. What We Know
• Estimated total acute care inpatient costs by clinical chapter and for
selected medical conditions in the DAD reporting jurisdictions.
• Estimated average cost per inpatient stay by clinical chapter and for
selected medical conditions in the DAD reporting jurisdictions.
• The number of acute care inpatient stays by clinical chapter for selected
medical conditions in the DAD reporting jurisdictions.
• The share of total acute care inpatient costs due to the treatment or
presence of complexities for most of the clinical chapters and selected
medical conditions.
• Total acute care inpatient costs by age group and sex by clinical chapter
and selected medical conditions in the DAD reporting jurisdictions.
4.2. What We Don’t Know
In order to manage each sector of the health care system efficiently, the
questions explored in this study should ideally be studied for all of the other
sectors: day surgery setting, primary care setting, long-term care facilities and
the drug sector. Then, a system-wide perspective could be offered. However,
for some of these sectors or settings, it will not be possible to address these
questions in the near future. Thus, the following list of what we don’t know is
not comprehensive:
• What is the total day surgery cost by clinical chapter and for selected
medical conditions in Canadian facilities?
• What is the average cost per patient in the inpatient and day surgery
settings for each clinical chapter and selected medical conditions in
Canadian facilities?
• How has the shift in the mix of treatments and the mix of settings
changed hospital output and costs in Canadian facilities?
• How are changes in hospital inputs related to changes in hospital output
in Canada?
• How are changes in hospital output related to changes in patient
outcomes in Canada?

Appendix A.
Selection of the Medical Conditions
Appendices
The first step in studying hospital costs by medical condition
is to choose the medical conditions to consider. For this
purpose, diseases were chosen in each clinical chapter
based on length of stay (LOS) and episode: the higher the
LOS and/or episode for a given disease, the greater the
likelihood of choosing this disease. For each clinical chapter,
a category called “Other” is defined such that it represents no
more than 25% of the total LOS of the chapter. In this process,
the World Health Organization International Shortlist for
Hospital Morbidity Tabulation (WHO-ISHMT) was also used.30
The ISHMT is a short list that comprises 149 diagnosis
categoriesxlviii compiled for statistical comparison of hospital
activity among member countries. It comprises diagnosis
categories defined by both ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes for
developing time series statistics. It was used to make sure
that the selected codes are well accepted and valid. The
Ontario Case Costing Initiative list of the 50 diagnoses
was also used. These diagnoses are among the top 50 most
responsible diagnoses based on either volume (number of
stays) or on average total cost per stay. Expert advice within
and outside CIHI (Classifications, Case Mix, OCCI, etc.) was
also considered. From this process, 213 medical conditions
were chosen; most of them are listed among the 149 medical
conditions from the WHO shortlist.
xlviii In Canada, the original list of 35 diagnosis categories reported on was expanded in 2005 to include 114 new diagnosis categories,
for a total of 149.

B.1. Description of the Data
Appendices
Appendix B. Data and Methodology
The Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) was used to determine the number
of acute care inpatient stays. For the estimation of average cost per stay, the
Ontario Case Costing Initiative (OCCI) and the Alberta Case-Costing Database
were used.
The DAD contains demographic, administrative and clinical data for hospital
discharges (inpatient acute, chronic and rehabilitation) and day surgeries in
Canada. For 2004–2005, it included 3,183,205 records, of which 2,441,665xlix
(about 76.7%) were acute care inpatients.
The OCCI’s database is a record-specific costing database for acute care
inpatients and day surgery patients admitted to the participating hospitals.
For each patient there are two sources of data that make up the case-costing
record: the cost datal from the participating hospitals and the patient
discharge abstract from the DAD. Each hospital provides the total costs
incurred by all functional centres for each patient at a minimum of Level 3.
Therefore, costs incurred for nursing, clinical laboratory, diagnostic imaging,
pharmacy, social work, finance, housekeeping, food services, health records
and other functional centres are reported.31 The Alberta Case-Costing
Database has generally the same reporting approach as OCCI. However,
some minor differences may exist between these two case-costing units.
For example, in Alberta, the case costing does not include costs such as
amortization of building and leasehold improvements, contributed services or
full cost of ancillary operations,32 while in the case of Ontario, amortization and
leasing costs must be assigned to functional centres using the equipment.33
For 2004–2005, the OCCI and Alberta Case-Costing databases contain a
combined total of 458,844 inpatient records, which represents 18.8% of the
population (the acute care inpatients in the DAD reporting jurisdictions).
B.2. Approaches in Estimating Acute Care Hospital Costs
by Medical Condition
Two approaches can be used in the estimation of hospital costs by disease:
the top-down approach and the bottom-up approach. Theses two approaches
are different and each presents advantages and disadvantages.

From the DAD in SAS format (the statistical software).

In Ontario, the cost data are reported according to the Ontario Hospital Reporting System (OHRS), the chart of accounts of which is
based on the National Standards for Management Information Systems for Health Services Organizations (MIS Standards).

The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
B.2.1. Differences Between Top-Down and
Bottom-Up Approaches
The top-down approach, also known as “gross costing,” is obtained using
total expenditure divided by number of stays in each disease category. This
approach is more comprehensive and less resource-intensive than the
bottom-up approach. However, it is less detailed and less accurate for each
diagnosis or procedure. The top-down approach requires some knowledge of
the relative costs of the diagnoses in order to allocate the aggregate costs for
a group of diseases/procedures to the individual ones.li The simplicity of the
top-down approach may be offset by a lack of sensitivity, which in turn
depends on the type of administrative data available.34
On the other hand, the bottom-up approach, also known as “micro-costing,”
individually assigns costs to all resources associated with an activity. This
approach refers to detailed analysis of the resources used in a particular
intervention. It is more accurate for each diagnosis or procedure; however, it
may exclude some elements of costs and it is more expensive and more timeconsuming than the top-down approach.
The decision to use micro-costing or gross costing depends on the research
question and the needs of the analysis. The costs and benefits of each
approach have to be assessed. Though detailed and comprehensive microcosting is desirable in principle, practicality may restrict its use. This explains
why many studies use a mixture of the two, using micro-costing for the direct
costs of the intervention or the diagnosis, and gross costing for other costs.
Also, bottom-up (disease-specific) studies are generally meant to show the
economic impact of a particular disease, while top-down (general COI) studies
are generally used to ascertain demographic and epidemiological
determinants of health expenditure and to make comparisons.
B.2.2. Defining Acute Care Inpatient Costs by
Medical Condition
In this study, the bottom-up approach is used in order to estimate the costs of
selected medical conditions. Acute care inpatient cost for a given condition is
defined as the product of average cost per stay for this condition multiplied by
the number of stays relative to this condition (Equation 1):
Hospital Cost i = ( ACS) i * (Number of Stays)
i
(1)
Where:
i = 1, 2, 3, …, 213 (one of the 213 medical conditions);
ACS = average cost per stay.
li
52
For this purpose, the Resource Intensity Weight (RIW) values from the Case Mix Group (CMG) methodology can be used.
Average cost per stay is estimated using micro-level cost data. Cost in each
record of the case-costing data of both provinces (Ontario and Alberta) was
Appendices
B.3. Estimating Average Cost per Stay
used in Equation 2. Cost includes both direct or absorbing cost (for example,
nursing, laboratory, drugs) and indirect or transient cost (for example, finance,
housekeeping, health records) incurred by the facility or health region.
However, it does not include any fee-for-service component for physicians or
any costs that may be incurred by (or imputed to) the patient (such as out-ofpocket expenses or mortality or morbidity costs due to disability).
ni
(ACS) i =
∑
j =1
(Actual _Cost ij )
ni
(2)
Where:
i = 1, 2, 3, …, 213 (one of the 213 medical conditions);
j = 1, 2, 3, …, ni (number of inpatient records (stays) for that medical
condition i in the Ontario and Alberta case-costing data set.)
Note that the number of stays for any medical condition in Equation 1 exceeds
the number of stays in the case-costing records for that same medical
condition in Equation 2.
In the process of estimating average cost per stay, some adjustment is
required. Adjustments are made for compensation differences across the
country. In order to estimate average cost per stay exclusively for the most
responsible diagnosis (MRDx), adjustments were also made for complexities.
The approaches used for each of these adjustments are described below.
B.3.1. Adjusting for Compensation Differences
This analysis of hospital costs is done for all jurisdictions reporting to the DAD
(Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New
Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, the
Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the Yukon Territory). One component of
hospital costs—volume—is available for all these jurisdictions. However, the
other component—unit cost—is available for Ontario and Alberta only.
Therefore, it is necessary to extrapolate average cost per stay in Ontario and
Alberta to the other DAD reporting jurisdictions.
It is generally agreed that the cost to provide health care is not the same
across the country. This difference should be fully taken into account if we
want to estimate hospital costs for all the DAD jurisdictions. Unfortunately,
data to account for input price differences are not fully available, except for
53
The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
compensation. Therefore, only price difference for salaries and compensation
can be considered to adjust for differences in cost to provide hospital care
across the country.
Adjustments for wage differences between jurisdictions are made for
management and operational support employees (for example, those
employees who are involved in the decision-making process and provide
support to those carrying out the mandate of the organization) and unitproducing personnel employees (those employees called front-line workers
who carry out the mandate of the functional centre) using financial and
statistical data from the Canadian MIS Database (CMDB) for 2004–2005.
Total compensation and total earned hourslii are used to estimate average
hourly earnings for management and operational support employees and
unit-producing personnel employees in each DAD jurisdiction. These earnings
are compared to the average earning in Ontario and Alberta in order to
calculate the compensation index for the jurisdiction. This compensation
index is applied to Ontario and Alberta average cost per stay in order to
extrapolate average cost per stay for each non-costing DAD jurisdiction
(see Section B.5.1, paragraph 2 for the mathematical representation of this
heuristic description). This adjustment is based on the tacit assumption that
the non-compensation costs vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction in the same
way that compensation costs do.
Average cost per stay for all the DAD jurisdictions is estimated by summing
across the jurisdictions the average cost per stay by selected medical
condition, weighted by the share of acute inpatient volume discharged by
selected medical condition in each DAD jurisdiction (see Section B.5.1,
paragraph 3 for the mathematical representation of this heuristic description).
The estimates suggest that average cost per acute care inpatient stay for
Ontario and Alberta combined is about 1.8% higher than the average cost
per stay for the DAD reporting jurisdictions.liii The underlying assumption
behind this approach is that the same quantity and mix of inputs is used for
each stay in the DAD jurisdictions as in Ontario and Alberta.liv
54
lii
Compensation includes worked salaries and benefit salaries (accounts 31010, 31030, 35010 and 35030 in the MIS financial
account). Earned hours include worked hours and benefit hours (accounts 31010, 31030, 35010 and 35030 in the MIS
statistical account).
liii
However, the average cost per acute care inpatient case for Ontario and Alberta combined is about 8.8% higher than the average
cost per case for the other DAD reporting jurisdictions.
liv
Another implicit assumption is that the demographic structure of the population is the same across jurisdictions. Jurisdictions with a
higher proportion of seniors would have higher severity of illness and higher average cost per case. However, when using the cost
model to estimate adjusted average cost, this factor is controlled for by including age and sex in the regression.
Since some admissions are associated with more than one condition
(complexities), there is a risk of over-estimating the costs of some diseases.
Appendices
B.3.2. Adjusting for Complexities
In order to estimate the share of costs due to complexities, regression
analysis was used to assess the relationship between cost and the presence
of other medical conditions. Note that different methods can be used in
implementing the bottom-up approach and accounting for complexities.
Akobundu et al. gave an overview of these methods after reviewing 365
studies about cost of illness (COI).
In this current study, complexities were specifically accounted for by using the
Case Mix Group Complexity Overlay (CMG/Plx)lv as a measurement for the
total number of complexities for a certain medical condition.

CIHI’s CMG/Plx is intended to enhance the prediction of resource utilization in acute care. It identifies diagnoses in the DAD, over
and above the main diagnoses for which prolonged length of stay and most costly treatment could reasonably be expected. These
additional diagnoses are then used to further subdivide a CMG into four sub-groups. These sub-groups, called Plx groups, contain
a more homogeneous aggregation of patients with regards to length of stay and resource use than the CMG as a whole.

B.3.2.1. Specification of the Model: Transformed Cost
In this model, cost is the dependent variable while Plx, age category, sex,
CMG and province are the explanatory variables. The dependent variable
being continuous and the explanatory variables being categorical, we define
the relationship between these output and input variables by performing an
analysis of variance (ANOVA). Plotting the cost data reveals that the
distribution of cost is far from being a normal distribution (Figure B.1).

the distribution and nonlinearity of the regression function. The Box-Cox
procedure35 automatically identifies a transformation from the family of the
Appendices
Therefore we perform a transformation in order to correct the skewness of
power transformations of the form:
Y’ = Yλ , and Y’ =ln(Y)
Where λ is a parameter to be determined from the data. For our data, the best
transformation is as follows:
Transformed Cost = ln(cost) {referred hereafter as ln_cost} (3)
Further, the main model is defined as:
ln_ cos t k = α 0 +α 1 ( Plx ) k +α 2 ( AgeCat ) k +α 3 ( Sex ) k +α 4 ( CMG ) k +α 5 (Pr ov ) k + ε
( 4)
Where:
• k = 1, 2, 3, …, N (number of inpatient records or stays in the Ontario
and Alberta case-costing data set);
• α0 = intercept;
• α1, α2, α3, α4 and α5 are coefficients (vector of values) to be determined;
• ε = residuals or error terms.
Plx = Complexity level.
There are four complexity levels that are related to the number and/or severity
of the comorbid conditions and that were used in the equation:
1. No Complexity or comorbidity
2. Complexity related to chronic condition(s)
3. Complexity related to serious/important condition(s)
4. Complexity related to potentially life-threatening condition(s)
There is a fifth level of complexity (Plx level = 9) that has some impact on
cost, but the impact is already embedded in the condition itself (for example,
neonates) and is not due to comorbid conditions. So, this Plx level was not
used in the equation.
• AgeCat = < 1, 1–4, 5–14, 15–44, 45–64, 65–74, 75–84 and 85+ (for a total
of eight age categories);
• Sex = Male, female or other;lvii
• CMG = the 474 Case Mix Groups that identify homogenous patients in
terms of resource use;
• Prov = Case-costing province, Ontario and Alberta.

Other includes those of undifferentiated sex (for stillborns only), transsexuals and hermaphrodites.

This specification has the advantage of convenience. There is no need to have
a pre-defined list of comorbidities and the weight of the comorbid condition is
taken into account with the Plx variable.
Both the Plx variable and the AgeCat variable are included in the regression.
One might argue that there might be some interaction effect between the
variables Plx and AgeCat. However, these variables are independent; they
only complement each other in the sense that Plx is an overlay that is
applied to already existing CMG/age combinations. Nonetheless, to try a
different specification, an alternative model was run without the AgeCat
(Alternative model I):
ln_ cos t k = α 0 +α 1 ( Plx ) k +α 2 ( Sex ) k +α 3 ( CMG ) k +α 4 (Pr ov ) k + ε
( 4 a)
The results were not significantly different from the main model in equation 4
(see Section B.3.2.3 on regression results).
Besides, one might argue that it can be tricky to work with a transformed scale
such as ln_cost.lviii An alternative model was run directly on the dollar scale;
that is, without any transformation of the cost variable (alternative model II).
The results were generally similar as the ln_cost model.lix
The ln_cost variable has an approximate normal distribution with
mean = 8.141 (see Figure B.2)
58
lviii
That is because when ln_cost is modelled, the parameters in the regression are multiplicative on the untransformed dollar scale,
which means that the size of the effect (in costs) depends on the underlying level of cost.

Results for alternative model II are available upon request.

B.3.2.2. Residual Analysis
Residual analysis was performed in order to evaluate the appropriateness of
analysis of variance model. First, the residuals are plotted against the fitted
values, in order to assure constant error variance. Then, from a histogram for
all the residuals, normality of the error terms is checked. From the graphical
approach, the errors appear to have an approximate normal distribution
(Figure B.3). However, because the data set is so large, the data do not
perfectly fit the normal curve.
The GLM procedurelx of SASlxi was used and the model selected included
Plx level, age category, sex, CMG and province as explanatory variables.

The GLM (General Linear Model) procedure handles models relating one or several continuous dependent variables to one or
several explanatory variables. The explanatory variables may be either “categorical” variables, which divide the observations into
discrete groups, or “continuous” variables.
lxi
The Mixed Procedure handles models relating one or several continuous dependent variables to one or several categorical or
continuous explanatory variables while at the same time expanding the possibilities of the error term to accommodate either a fixed
effect model or a random effect model. Mixed procedure is a generalization of the GLM procedure in the sense that the GLM
procedure fits standard linear models, and the Mixed procedure fits a wider class of mixed linear models.
Output for the GLM procedure is presented in Box B.1. The value of the

The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
When fitting an ANOVA model or other linear model with categorical
explanatory variables and an intercept term, one level of each categorical
variable must be chosen as the default or reference level. These were the
reference levels of the explanatory variables:
• Complexity level=1lxii (the complexity level with the lowest average cost—
no comorbid condition);
• Age Category < 1 (age category with the lowest average cost);
• Sex = female (the sex with the lowest average cost);
• CMG=619 [the group with the lowest average cost—false labour
LOS < 3 days, may not require hospitalization (MNRH)];
• Prov = Ontario (the province with the lowest average cost).
This combination of values has been chosen so that the group of stays with
the reference level for all explanatory variables would have the lowest average
cost. The intercept value (6.6905) represents the mean ln_cost of the group
of stays with the reference level for all explanatory variables.
As expected, the values for the calculated Plx coefficients increase with the
level of complexity: 0.5319 for Plx 2; 0.7379 for Plx 3 and 1.3974 for Plx 4.
They are all significant at the 5% level. The alternative model I given by
Equation 4a (without the age category) produces about the same results.lxiii
B.3.2.4. Producing estimates of the contribution of complexity
to costs on the dollar scale
From the model given by Equation 4, we have for stay k:
ln_ cos t k = α 0 +α 1 ( Plx ) k +α 2 ( AgeCat ) k +α 3 ( Sex )k +α 4 ( CMG ) k +α 5 (Pr ov ) k + ε k
An estimate of what the cost of this stay would have been, without complexity is:
ln_ cos t k (Plx _ adjusted) = α 0 +α 2 ( AgeCat ) k +α 3 ( Sex )k +α 4 ( CMG ) k +α 5 (Pr ov )k + ε k
That is the same thing, but without the α1 coefficient. This can also be written:
ln_ cos t k (Plx _ adjusted) = ln_ cos t k - α 1 ( Plx ) k
( 5 .1)
Equation 5.1 can also be written using the fitted values
ln_ cos t k (Plx _ adjusted) = ln_ cos t k - α 1 ( Plx ) k
62
( 5 .2)

This corresponds to complexity level 9 in Box B.1.

: 0.63120 for the R2; 6.7602 for the intercept; 0.5560 for Plx 2; 0.7619 for Plx 3 and 1.4284 for Plx 4.
back to the original scale of a log-normal distribution, an adjustment is
needed to preserve the mean. So the dollar cost adjusted for complexity
Appendices
When transforming from the log scale (where the distribution is normal)
level (Plx_Adj_Cost) is obtained by reversing the log transformation of
ln_cost(Plx_adjusted) to get the complexity-adjusted dollar-scale cost with
this formula:
( Plx_Adj_Cost )k = exp
{
(
ln_ cos t k - α ( Plx ) k + δ
2
2
)}
( 5 .3)
Where:
• α is the vector coefficient of the Plx variable.
( )
• δ2
is half the mean of the square error, as per the property of the log2 normal distribution36 (
δ = 0.5053 for this model).
For the complexity level = 1 (Plx level = 9 in Box B.1) the adjustment factor is
zero because there is no complexity or comorbidity. The same is true for
complexity level=9,lxiv since the increase in cost for this level is due to causes
other than complexities.
Otherwise, adjustment was made for each stay with a Plx level 2, 3 or 4. For a
hypothetical example where the fitted ln_cost for a record was 9.95 with a Plx
level of 3, the adjusted untransformed cost of this record would be $11,382.
This would represent only the cost for the MRDx in this record and is obtained
by replacing the parameters in Equation 5.3 by their values:
exp
{
(
2
9 .95 − 0 .7379 + 0 .5053
2
)}
Once the complexity-adjusted cost for each record was computed, the
average cost adjusted for complexity was computed for each clinical chapter
and selected medical condition.
Note that the regression was also used to estimate total average cost per stay
(Fitted_Cost); that is, the fitted average cost for the treatment of the primary
diagnosis and complexities (as opposed to the “actual” average cost for the
treatment of the primary diagnosis and complexities where no regression is
involved). The untransformed fitted cost was obtained by the following reversion:
( Fitted_Cos t ) k = exp
lxiv
{
( )}
ln_ cos t k + δ

( 6)
This corresponds to complexity level 8 in Box B.1.
63
The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
Using the same hypothetical example, where the fitted ln_cost for a stay was
9.95 with a Plx level of 3, the fitted untransformed total cost of this stay would
be $23,805. This would represent the cost for the MRDx and the associated
complexities in this record and is obtained by replacing the parameters in
Equation 6 by their values:
exp
{
9 .95 +
(
0 .5053 2
2
)}
Note that the Ontario and Alberta data sets have actual cost for the MRDx
and the associated complexities for each record. Using the regression to
estimate this cost is a necessary step to estimate the share of cost that can
be attributed to the treatment or presence of complexities. This share is
defined as:
Share of cost due to comorbidity =
(Cost of primary diagnosis and comorbidity − Cost of primary diagnosis)
Cost of primary diagnosis and comorbidity
The numerator and the denominator must be on the same scale, hence the
importance of using the regression in both cases. However, the acute care
inpatient costs reported in the study came from the actual (observed) cost.
B.4. Estimating Quantity or Number of Stays
Quantity is defined as the number of hospital stays for a given category of
disease within a given fiscal year. Thus, the focus of the analysis is on hospital
inpatient stays. This is conceptually different than the definition of quantity
based on the number of patients, since one patient may have multiple stays
during the year.
The number of stays is obtained from the DAD, which contains data on
hospital discharges across Canada. Note that, as of 2004–2005, discharge
data are included in the DAD for all jurisdictions except Quebec. In order to
include institutions in Quebec, the alternative would be to use the Hospital
Morbidity Database (HMDB). However, complexity is not reported in the
HMDB. Moreover, discharge data from psychiatric facilities are not captured in
this database. While it would still be possible to include these facilities using
the Hospital Mental Health Database (HMHDB), the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV) coding structure of this database
was not straightforwardly compatible with the ICD-10-CA coding structure at
the time of the analysis. Consequently, it was decided to use the DAD; and
hence, institutions in Quebec are excluded from the analysis.

B.5. Summary of the Steps to Estimate Total Acute Care
Inpatient Costs
B.5.1. Estimation of Total Acute Care Inpatient Costslxv (Actual)
The Actual_Mean_Costlxvi for Ontario and Alberta was computed.
ni
(Actual _ Mean _ Cost)i =
∑
j =1
(Actual _Cost ij )
ni
Where i = 1, 2, 3, …, 212 (one of the 212 medical conditions);
j = 1, 2, 3, …, ni (number of inpatient records or stays for that medical condition i)
2. A compensation index specific to each DAD jurisdiction (h) was calculated
and then a mean cost for each medical condition and each DAD
jurisdiction was estimated (Adjusted_Mean_Cost)i,h
Adj _ Mean _ Cost i ,h = Compensation_ index h * Actual _ Mean _ Cost i
Where h = 1, 2, 3, …,12 (each reporting DAD jurisdiction)
Average_ Hourly _ Earning h
Compensation _ index h =
Average_ Hourly _ Earning in ON & AB
and
Average _ Hourly _ Earning h =
( Total Compensation for MOS & UPP )h
( Total Earned Hours for MOS & UPP )h
(See Section B.3.1.)
3. The DAD_Cond_Total_Cost was estimated for each medical condition (i)
as follows:
DAD _ Cond _ Total _ Cost i =
∑h ni ,h * Adj _ Mean _ Cost i ,h
Where ni,h = the number of stays in jurisdiction h with conditioni.
This number of stays is obtained from the DAD and includes all Plx levels
(1, 2, 3, 4 and 9).
4. A (DAD_Cond_Mean_Cost)i is the average cost of a stay for each
condition. It is calculated as the ratio of the total cost for the condition to
the total number of stays with the condition.
DAD _ Cond _ Mean_ Cost i =
Note that
ni =
DAD _ Cond _ Total _ Cost i
ni
∑h ni ,h
lxv
Total acute care costs refer to acute care costs for the treatment of the primary diagnosis and the comorbidities.
lxvi
Actual_Mean_Cost means that no regression is involved in the computation of the average cost.

B.5.2. Estimation of Acute Care Inpatient Costs For the
Primary Diagnosis
5. Using case-costing data from Ontario and Alberta, the following regression
was run:
ln_ cos t k = α 0 +α 1 ( Plx ) k +α 2 ( AgeCat ) k +α 3 ( Sex )k +α 4 ( CMG ) k +α 5 (Pr ov ) k + ε
and used to calculate fitted values:
ln_ cos t k = α 0 +α 1 ( Plx ) k +α 2 ( AgeCat ) k +α 3 ( Sex )k +α 4 ( CMG ) k +α 5 (Pr ov ) k
Where k=1, 2, 3, …, N (number of inpatient records or stays in the Ontario
and Alberta case-costing data_set)
(See Section B.3.2.1.)
6. An estimated ln_cost adjusted for Plx level was calculated for each stay:
Plx _ Adj _ ln_ cos t k = α 0 +α 2 ( AgeCat ) k +α 3 ( Sex )k +α 4 ( CMG ) k +α 5 (Pr ov ) k
= ln_ cos t k - α 1 ( Plx ) k
This is the estimated ln_cost of a stay with the same condition (CMG), age,
sex and province as stay k, but with the reference Plx (no complexity) instead
of the actual complexity of stay k.
(See Section B.3.2.3.)
7. The transformation of ln_cost was reversed to get the Plx-adjusted cost
for each stay:
( Plx_Adj_Cost )k = exp
The
( )
δ2
{
ln_ cos t k - α1 ( Plx ) k +
(δ )}
2
2
2 adjustment is needed to ensure that the modelling and
transformation preserve the mean.
(See Section B.3.2.4.)
8. The Plx_Adj_Mean_Cost for Ontario and Alberta was computed for each
medical condition (i):
(Plx _ Adj _ Mean _ Cost) i =
ni
(Plx _ Adj _Cost ij )
∑
j =1
ni
9. The Plx_Adj_Mean_Cost for Ontario and Alberta was further adjusted for
wage differences by applying a compensation index factor specific to each
DAD jurisdiction. The Plx_Adj_Mean_Cost was obtained for each medical
condition and each DAD jurisdiction (Plx_Adj_Mean_Cost)i,h. (As in Step 2.)
66
Plx_Adj_Mean_Cost of each DAD jurisdiction, weighted by the number
of stays for each condition in the jurisdiction—was calculated for each
Appendices
10.A Plx_Adj_DAD_Cond_Total_Cost—which is the weighted sum of the
medical condition (as in Step 3).
11. The Plx_Adj_DAD_Cond_Mean_Cost was estimated for each medical
condition (i) as follows (as in Step 4):
Plx _ Adj _ DAD _ Cond _ Mean _ Cost i =
Plx_ Adj_ DAD_ Cond_ Total _ Cost i
ni
The number of stays is obtained from the DAD and includes all Plx levels
(1, 2, 3, 4 and 9).
B.5.3. Estimation of Total Acute Care Inpatient Costslxvii (Fitted)
12. The regression model from Step 5 of the previous section was used.
Using case-costing data from Ontario and Alberta, the following regression
was run:
ln_ cos t k = α 0 +α 1 ( Plx ) k +α 2 ( AgeCat ) k +α 3 ( Sex )k +α 4 ( CMG ) k +α 5 (Pr ov ) k + ε
and used to calculate fitted values:
ln_ cos t k = α 0 +α 1 ( Plx ) k +α 2 ( AgeCat ) k +α 3 ( Sex )k +α 4 ( CMG ) k +α 5 (Pr ov ) k
(See Section B.3.2.1.)
13.The transformation of ln_cost was reversed to get the fitted cost for
each stay:
( Fitted_Cost )k = exp
{
(
ln_ cos t k + δ
2
2
)}
(This is different from Step 7, where some value has been deducted from
ln_cost in the process of controlling for complexity.)
14. The Fitted_Mean_Cost was computed for Ontario and Alberta for each
clinical chapter or medical condition (i):
ni
(Fitted _ Mean _ Cost) i =
∑
j =1
(Fitted _Cost ij )
ni
15. The Ontario and Alberta Fitted_Mean_Cost was further adjusted for wage
differences by applying a compensation index factor specific to each DAD
jurisdiction. A fitted mean cost was obtained for each medical condition
and each DAD jurisdiction (Adj_Fitted_Mean_Cost)i,h (as in steps 2 and 9
of the previous sections).
lxvii
Total acute care costs refer to acute care costs for the treatment of the primary diagnosis and the comorbidities.
67
The Cost of Acute Care Hospital Stays by Medical Condition in Canada, 2004–2005
16. A Fitted_DAD_Cond_Total_Cost—which is the weighted sum of the
Adj_Fitted_Mean_Cost of each DAD jurisdiction, weighted by the number
of stays for each condition in the jurisdiction—was calculated for each
medical condition (as in steps 3 and 10 of the previous sections).
17. The Fitted_DAD_Cond_Mean_Cost was estimated for each medical
condition (i) as follows:
Fitted _ DAD _ Cond _ Mean _ Cost i =
Fitted _ DAD_ Cond_ Total _ Cost i
ni
The number of stays is obtained from the DAD and includes all Plx levels (1, 2,
3, 4 and 9).
B.5.4. Estimation of the Share of Total Acute Care Inpatient
Costs Attributed to Complexity
18. The share of total acute care inpatient cost due to the treatment or
presence of complexity was obtained as the ratio of:
(Share of cost due to comorbidity)i =
(Fitted_ DAD _ Cond _ Total _ Cost)i - (Plx_ Adj_ DAD_ Cond_ Total _ Cost)i
(Fitted_ DAD _ Cond _ Total _ Cost)i
