Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the social impact of the patients
suffering from lumbar disc herniation. Although it is a very important medical
condition that affects at least once in their lives more than 80% of the population
at this point in time it is not analyzed in conjunction with the social and economic
costs that can be generated. We have collected the data for a time span of four
years from two representative hospital centers from North-East region of Romania.
We took in consideration a total number of 7438 patients that were treated by
surgical and physiotherapeutic means. Results showed an important correlation
between medical decision making, types of medical treatment, number of days of
work leave and cost per day of hospitalization. It is of high importance, when we
want to reduce the social and economic burden, for the patients to be rigorously
investigated and properly addressed to the right therapy treatment.
