摘要
This study is a 2-year follow-up to a 1987-1988 survey of North Carolina hospitals regarding hospital utilization by patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Almost 99% of the state's hospitals participated in the resurvey for the fiscal year 1989-1990. The number of general hospitals treating these patients grew by 57%; HIV/AIDS inpatients increased by 189% from 540 to 1,561. Total general hospital charges for HIV/AIDS inpatients increased from $7,685,000 to $26,957,000, an increase of 251%. Of these charges the amount that was uncompensated by insurance increased by 293% to $7,733,000. Fifteen large tertiary general hospitals treated 80% of the HIV/AIDS inpatients and accounted for $6,093,000 (79%) of the uncompensated charges related to these patients.
