W=with. W/O=without. CC=complications and co-morbidities. Cat or Sev=catastrophic or severe. ALOS refers to the patient's Average Length of Stay.<br />

Estimated population costs are obtained by weighting the sample results according to the known characteristics of the population.<br />

(a)<br />

(b) The sample size is the number of hospitals contributing to the cost and activity data for each AR-DRG.<br />

(c)<br />

Average cost is affected by a number of factors, some of which are admission practices, sample size, remoteness and the type of hospitals contributing to the<br />

collection. Direct comparison between jurisdictions is difficult as there are differences in hospital costing systems.<br />
