Hospital costs of maternal near miss: a micro-costing analysis
Through using a micro-costing methodology, this study established that, for the Brazilian Public Health System, hospital admissions due to maternal near misses had resulted in high costs, although this condition is considered to involve a large number of preventable cases. The cost estimates derived from the institution's medical records were significantly higher than the estimated reimbursement costs.
