Exploration of health care utilization, social care utilization and costs for individuals discharged from inpatient geriatric care in Sweden - a registry data study
Costs of care for individuals treated at geriatric department are substantial. The variation of cost is also significant; higher age and lower function were associated with higher health care and social care costs. Major cost buckets were inpatient health care (region-financed) and social care at home (municipality-financed).
