Cost of pediatric pneumonia episodes with or without chest radiography.
Researchers sought to assess the costs of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) episodes with and without chest radiograph (CXR) among children discharged from the pediatric emergency department. Their retrospective cohort study used data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State ED and Inpatient Databases on children aged 3 months to 18 years with CAP in eight states from 2014 to 2019. The results indicated that use of CXR for CAP diagnosis is associated with lower costs when considering the subsequent provision of care among patients who need additional health care after initial emergency department discharge.
