Abstract:
In the provision of health services, health institutions should be perceived as an enterprise to use limited resources most effectively and efficiently, evaluate them optimally and ensure production efficiency. Therefore, cost information enables the most efficient utilization of resources in hospital enterprises and allows managers to use decision-making mechanisms most accurately. This study was conducted to determine and compare the costs of prolonged hospitalizations in the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit of a university hospital. Our study was descriptive and retrospective. The

Abstract:
An epidural abscess is a collection of pus that has accumulated between the dura and the calvarium or spine. It is rare but can lead to severe neurologic dysfunction or death. There are two main subsets of epidural abscess: spinal epidural abscess (SEA) and intracranial epidural abscess (ICEA). Early diagnosis is key to minimizing complications. Back pain is the most common presentation of SEA, along with spinal tenderness. Treatment requires prolonged hospitalization, surgical drainage in most cases, and long-term antibiotics. Except in rare cases, patients with SEA and ICEA will require hosp
