Objective: To calculate the cost involved in the neonatal care of premature or live born babies carriers of mayor congenital abnormalities compatible with life. Patients and method: Retrospective study who analyzed 82 premature live born of less than 34 weeks and 14 live born carriers of mayor congenital abnormalities compatible with life, from January to December 2004, at the Maternity Ward from the University of Chile Clinical Hospital. The outcome measures were the neonatal care average cost package subdivided by components. The cost was expressed in chilean currency. Results: Neonatal care average cost was $2519508 in live born of less than 34 weeks, $3.766.999 in less than 32 weeks, $12.017.650 in less than 1500 grams babies and $30967.1 80 in carriers of mayor congenital abnormalities. In bed day cost represents the most significant component from the package, representing more than 60% of its total cost. Conclusions: Neonatal care cost of premature live born of less than 34 weeks or carriers of mayor congenital abnormalities compatible with life is higher than the maximum cost considered in the every-event health packages, representing in bed day its most significant component.
