Study data, attached to the Ministry of Health in 2011 in Chest Diseases Hospital inpatient cases include E62. These cases demographic data, the average length of stay, discharge status, case mix index, in terms of relative values and repayment amounts were compared on the basis of hospitals and countries. E62 cases in men 67%, women 33% were observed. E62C drg's 52% of the incidence of the most common E62 cases where, E62 cases the average length of hospital stay of 18.7 days, which was the E62 cases of 91.4% compared healing with the condition were discharged, hospital reimbursement in the relative values and E62 DRG diversity frequencies that are directly affected and with case-mix index is a positive correlation between the amount of reimbursement have been identified. Both between countries and between hospitals terms DRG data were found to be significantly different.
