1 The incremental costs incurred by patients on their last full day of hospital stay were $420 per day on average, or just 2.4 percent of the $17,734 average total cost.2  End-of-stay costs represented only a slightly higher percentage of total costs when the length of stay was as short as four days. The remaining 58 percent was hospital overhead. 2  The first day of admission cost $1,246 on average, while the cost of discharging a patient averaged $304. 3  Approximately 40 percent of the costs were incurred during the first 3 days.
The mean cost of a hospital stay for influenza was lower than the mean cost for hospital stays overall ($6,900 versus $7,700). Consequently, influenza resulted in a mean hospital cost per day that was about one-third less than the mean cost per day for all hospital stays ($1,300 versus $1,700).indings In 2004, more than 37,300 hospitalizations occurred in which influenza was noted during the hospital stay. For more than half of these hospital stays (21,100), influenza was listed as the principal reason for admission. There is annual volatility in the number of hospitalizations due to influenza.
