Length of Hospital Stay, Hospitalization Costs, and Their Drivers in Adults with Diabetes in the Romanian Public Hospital System.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this analysis was to assess the costs associated with the hospitalizations of persons with diabetes in a Romanian public hospital. We performed a retrospective “top-down” cost analysis of all adult patients discharged from a tertiary care hospital with an ICD-10 primary or secondary code of diabetes mellitus (type 1, type 2, or specific forms) between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2018. All costs were adjusted with the annual inflation rates and converted to EUR. We included 16,868 patients with diabetes and 28,055 episodes of hospitalization. The total adjusted hospitalization cost in the analyzed period was EUR 26,418,126.8 and the adjusted median cost/episode of hospitalization was EUR 596.5. The mean length of a hospital stay/episode was 7.3 days. In the multivariate regression analysis, higher adjusted average costs/episodes of hospitalization and longer lengths of hospital stays were associated with increasing age, the presence of cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and foot ulcerations. Moreover, a significant association between the average cost/episode of hospitalization and the length of hospital stay was observed (β = 0.704, p < 0.001). This study shows the burden on Romanian public hospitals of inpatient diabetes care and the main drivers of the costs.
