Abstract

Objective To investigate the correlation between average cost, average length of stay, diagnosis, surgery or operation and relative weight (RW) of inpatients with malignant tumors and find defects of the data related to DRG. Methods From January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021, inpatients in the oncology department of a hospital were selected. The data of relative weight, average cost, average length of stay, major diagnosis, other diagnosis, surgery or operation were collected. The stability of RW in different months and the correlation of relative weight, average cost and average length of stay were compared so as the correlation between the primary diagnosis, other diagnosis, surgery or operation and DRG and RW. Results There was no significant difference in RW from January to June, P>0.05. The relative weight, average cost and average length of stay was in the same trend. Errors in major diagnosis, other diagnosis and related surgery or operation led to different DRG groups. And RW increased by 5.83% after adjustment. Conclusion DRG can be used as a method to measure the work efficiency of oncology department. Different diagnosis and the order of surgery or operation can affect the correct group of DRG. Persistent training and dynamic quality control based on continuous improvement are of great important for the accuracy of DRG data.
