PBSI significantly increases direct medical costs, averaging €3779.94 compared to €2130.49 for controls.
Patients with PBSI experience a longer overall length of stay, averaging 12 days versus 6 for those without.
The study utilized propensity score matching to balance baseline characteristics between PBSI and non-PBSI patients.
Investment in PBSI prevention strategies could reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes.
