Abstract
There are concerns regarding the adequacy of applying the diagnosis-related groups (DRG) payment system for multiple traumas (i.e., major diagnostic category 24, MDC-24) patients in Taiwan. Therefore, this study used a multi-center dataset to assess the influence of the DRG payment system on the cost and outcome of multiple trauma care.
