Differences in Health Care Expenditures by Cancer Patients During Their Last Year of Life: A Registry-Based Study.

The costs for persons residing in the Mosaic 1 socio-economic areas (the most affluent area) were not significantly different from the expenditures of those living in the Mosaic 2 or 3 areas ( p = 0.06), nor were the costs associated with the modified Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI); however, highly significant differences related to the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) were found, as the median costs for persons with low, intermediate or high risk of frailty were SEK 446–548–626, respectively ( p < 0.0001), as seen in Table 2 .
