Objective: To evaluate the economic loss of nosocomial infections (NI) in patients with cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction. Methods: We used case-control method to compare the medical expenses between 46 pairs of cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction patients with or without NI. Results: The median hospital stay, total treatment expense, medications expense, examination expense, and treatment expense of NI were significantly higher in the NI group than in non-NI group (all P <0.01). Conclusions: NI can prolong hospital stay and increase medical expenses of patients with cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction. Effective measures should be taken to control NI.
