Abstract：Objective To explore the mean hospitalization cost per time and its influencing factors in common elderly patients with chronic diseases. Methods Based on the electronic medical record system, the medical data of 21 824 elderly patients with chronic diseases diagnosed with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, malignant tumor and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from March, 2018 to February, 2019 in a third-grade class-A hospital in Quanzhou City was extracted and the influencing factors of mean hospitalization cost per time of the patients were analyzed by using multiple linear regression model. Results The maen hospitalization cost per time of elderly patients with chronic diseases was at higher level（mean=10 036.4 Yuan）.The main influencing factors were the way of hospitalization, type of chronic diseases，payment method，days and frequency of hospitalization. Conclusion The influencing factors of mean hospitalization cost per time were complicated, such as higher prevalence of elderly patients with chronic diseases, higher consumption of health resources and the higher hospitalization cost. Early prevention should be actively carried out, with reasonably controlling the hospitalization cast of elderly patients with chronic diseases. The function of government should be strengthened，the treatment and medical cost of elderly hospitalization patients with chronic diseases should be guaranteed for preventing the poverty caused by the diseases.
