Urgent Care, Men 30 to 40, Blood Type AB+

Research Insight and Clinical Significance

Analysis focus: This page looks at 12 men between ages 30 and 40 with blood type AB+ who were admitted through Urgent care. The group averages 37.0 years old and skews toward the older end of the range, which fits the pattern of chronic conditions first surfacing in the late thirties.

Key finding: The average bill for this group is $20,436.21, roughly 20 percent below the hospital-wide average of $25,495.49. The most common diagnosis is asthma (4 of 12), followed by obesity and diabetes, and the most common treatment is Paracetamol (7 of 12). Ten of the twelve patients had test results that were Normal or Inconclusive rather than Abnormal.

Clinical implication: These are manageable chronic conditions caught through the urgent channel rather than the emergency channel, and they are being treated with low-cost medication instead of expensive intervention. The data suggests that when younger patients enter the system through urgent care for flare-ups of known chronic conditions, the cost per admission stays well under the hospital average. Encouraging this group to keep up with routine outpatient care could keep them out of the emergency department entirely, where the same conditions would cost far more to stabilize.
