"Purposes:To explore the correlation between utilization of medical resources and survival rate in lymphoma patients with different demographic characteristics, disease characteristics, and treatment approaches.Methods:This was a retrospective study. The data sources on lymphoma patients from 2006 to 2013 were as follows: 1. A review of medical records by collecting the demographic characteristics, disease characteristics, medical treatment, and other relevant data; 2. Pathology reports; 3. Details of hospitalization expenses and outpatient medical expenses submitted to the National Health Insurance Administration by the information office. The data were analyzed with SPSS Version 20.0. Descriptive statistics were applied for the analysis of each variable. One-way ANOVA and linear regression analysis were conducted for medical resource utilization. Kaplan-Meier survival rate was adopted to analyze the survival rate.Results:ith family, patient’s albumin level, Hepatitis B carriers, patients who used a targeted drug, and those who received chemotherapy had a higher utilization rate of medical resources. The five-year overall survival rate was up to 60%, and the survival rate in females was significantly higher than that in males. LDH andβ2-microglobulin affected the survival of lymphoma patients.Conclusions:Demographic and disease characteristics as well as treatment approaches are the factors that influence the utilization of medical resources. The principle of lymphoma treatment is to consider the disease characteristics and health status, and intervention by targeted drugs can improve the survival rate. This study enrolled cases in a single medical center, which can be combined with cancer databases in the future to mutually confirm the utilization of medical resources.
