There has been more than twofold increase in hospitalisation rates in India during the last two decades, and significantly higher rates were observed among infants and older adults.Abstract:
Objectives The prime objective of this study is to examine the trends of disease and age pattern of hospitalisation and associated costs in India during 1995–2014. Design Present study used nationally representative data on morbidity and healthcare from the 52nd (1995) and 71st (2014) rounds of the National Sample Survey. Settings A total of 120 942 and 65 932 households were surveyed in 1995 and 2014, respectively. Measures Descriptive statistics, logistic regression analyses and decomposition analyses were used in examining the changes in patterns of hospitalisation and associated costs. Hospitalisation rates and costs per hospitalisation (out-of-pocket expenditure) were estimated for selected diseases and in four broad categories: communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), injuries and others. All the costs are presented at 2014 prices in US$. Results Hospitalisation rate in India has increased from 1661 in 1995 to 3699 in 2014 (per 100 000 population). It has more than doubled across all age groups. Hospitalisation among children was primarily because of communicable diseases, while NCDs were the leading cause of hospitalisation for the 40+ population. Costs per hospitalisation have increased from US$177 in 1995 to US$316 in 2014 (an increase of 79%). Costs per hospitalisation for NCDs in 2014 were US$471 compared with US$175 for communicable diseases. It was highest for cancer inpatients (US$942) followed by heart diseases (US$674). Age is the significant predictor of hospitalisation for all the selected diseases. Decomposition results showed that about three-fifth of the increase in unconditional costs per hospitalisation was due to increase in mean hospital costs, and the other two-fifth was due to increase in hospitalisation rates. Conclusion There has been more than twofold increase in hospitalisation rates in India during the last two decades, and significantly higher rates were observed among infants and older adults. Increasing hospitalisation rates and costs per hospitalisation are contributing substantially to the rising healthcare costs in India.read more

On the Concept of Health Capital and the Demand for Health
TL;DR: A model of the demand for the commodity "good health" is constructed and it is shown that the shadow price rises with age if the rate of depreciation on the stock of health rises over the life cycle and falls with education if more educated people are more efficient producers of health.

TL;DR: This work estimated life tables and annual numbers of deaths for 187 countries from 1970 to 2010 and developed a model to extrapolate mortality to 110 years of age, finding substantial heterogeneity exists across age groups, among countries, and over different decades.

Protecting households from catastrophic health spending.
TL;DR: It is suggested that 150 million people globally suffer financial catastrophe annually because they pay for health services, and there is no strong evidence that social health insurance systems offer better or worse protection than tax-based systems do.
