The aim of the study was to analyze inpatient costs in the Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic of a public hospital. The hospitalizations in the Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic of the 525-bed AII group hospital in 2019, 2020 and 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. The study was planned as a cross-sectional descriptive study and data were obtained from the Hospital Management Information System. There were 27,330 inpatients in 2019, 18,604 in 2020 and 21,709 in 2021. The average number of days of hospitalization was 4.07 days in 2019, 2.99 days in 2020 and 2.34 days in 2021. The total annual inpatient cost of Orthopedics and Traumatology service was realized as 3,761,369.20 $ (21,326,963.36 TL) in 2019, 2,061,248.96 $ (14,428,742.72 TL) in 2020 and 1,231,753.09 $ (10,937,967.44 TL) in 2021. The average hospitalization cost of inpatients was 137.63 $ (780.36 TL) in 2019, 110.80 $ (775.60 TL) in 2020 and 56.71 $ (503.58 TL) in 2021. The decrease in total inpatient costs and average cost per patient over the years is a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. In calculating costs for cost control in hospitals, it is important to investigate the reasons for the change in costs over time as well as revealing the current situation. It is recommended to investigate the sources of changes in costs in future research.
