Abstract：Objective To estimate the direct economic burden of hydatid patients in primary designated hospitals in Xinjiang. Methods To estimate direct economic burden by using demography and inpatient data of those who accepted surgery aid in 15 primary county-level designated hospitals in Xinjiang during 2008 to 2013. Furthermore, we analyzed the difference of direct economic burden among different population groups and districts. Results 715 samples statistical analysis demonstrated that the average direct economic cost was 16,098.20 Yuan, of which the direct medical costs was 10,043.65 Yuan, and the direct non-medical costs was 6,054.55 Yuan. Age groups and patients with complications or not showed statistic difference in direct economic burden. Both direct economic cost and direct non-medical cost of 20-40 age group were higher than other groups; and the direct medical cost of patients with complications showed obvious higher cost.Conclusion The severe direct economic burden of hydatid disease in Xinjiang reveals that it’s necessary to make different health strategies according different age group and the complications statuses, in order to reduce the economic burden of hydatid disease patients.
