The universal zero markup drug policy and gastric cancer hospitalization expenses: an analysis of trends and influencing factors in Shanghai from 2014 to 2021
Hospitalization expenses of GC patients in Shanghai have been rising annually from 2014 to 2021. Despite the implementation of the UZMDP, drug expenses remain a major factor in escalating hospitalization expenses. The hospitalization expenses of GC patients are significantly influenced by several factors, including the demographic characteristics of patients, the severity of diseases, and the levels of hospitals. These findings provide a basis for more effective management of the hospitalization expenses for GC patients.
