Effects of an aging population on hospital costs related to elective hip replacements.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Elective hip replacement is a common procedure for elderly people with osteoarthrosis. With more elderly people in the future, the demand for hip replacements will increase and put additional constraints on hospital services. The objective was to explore the future need for hip replacements and related costs and to investigate if anticipated future efficiency gains might alleviate the strain of increased demand. STUDY DESIGN:Registry-based modelling study. METHODS:Data were obtained from the Irish Central Statistics Office and the national Hospital Inpatient Enquiry system for 2011-2017. We estimated the future demand for hip replacements each year until 2051 and analysed changes in hip replacement rates and the average length of stay. These assumptions were used in our projections. RESULTS:Assuming no change in procedure rates, the annual cost of providing elective hip replacements is expected to increase by 1060 (30%) episodes in 2026 which implies a cost increment of €16M (33%) (vs 2017-level). If the historical increase in the procedure rate is assumed, the cost will increase by €33M (67%). If the observed reduction in length of stay can be maintained, costs will reduce by €14M (29.0%). Such a cost saving may alleviate the effect of the demographic changes and observed increases in procedure rates. CONCLUSIONS:Steady-state assumptions are unrealistic and efficiency gains can alleviate future pressure from population growth. However, this analysis has not addressed the present insufficient capacity of public hospitals to meet population needs, as judged by waiting lists and transfers to private hospitals.
