title: [The cost of postoperative drug analgesia of patients with cancer].
abstract: Calculation of expenses on drug analgesia based on 1687 case records of cancer patients with different tumour location (lung, esophageal, gastric, rectal, uterine and breast cancer) has revealed different structure of expenditure on days 1 to 3 of the postoperative period. On the day of surgery, 44% on average were spent on narcotic analgesics and 37% on analgin, on the 2nd and 3rd days postoperatively the ratio was 31 and 35% and 25 and 28% respectively, which to a certain extent indicates changes in postoperative pain intensity in cancer patients. The expenses on narcotic analgesics and analgin during those days were 31 and 68% of the total sum, respectively, which in absolute figures was 1 rouble 4 kopecks per patient on average. Estimation of expenses on drug analgesia in cancer patients during the first 3 days after radical surgery make it possible for the physicians to better understand the proportions of such expenditures in the budget of medical institutions.
