Reports from Mexican ICUs estimated the overall average cost of a HAIs episode at $12,155 with an excess cost of $11,591 per case of CR-BSI (1). In several ICUs in Argentina, the overall extra cost estimates for CR-BSI and healthcare-associated pneumonia averaged $4,888 and $2,255 per case, respectively (1).
On average, hospital deliveries cost $3,800 per stay, but the mean cost per stay varied depending on the mode of delivery. C-sections tended to be more costly than vaginal deliveries ($4,700 versus $2,900 without complications, and $6,500 versus $3,800 with complications, respectively). While uncommon, vaginal delivery with an operating room procedure (such as operative forceps or vacuum delivery) had the highest average cost ($8,100)âmore than double the cost per stay for all types of delivery ($3,800).
