Objective To understand the economic burden of hospitalized cases of mycoplasma p neumonia (MPP) in Wuhan in 2023, and to provide a scientific basis for the formulation and improvement of public health prevention and control policies. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on the hospitalized cases of MPP in Wuhan from January to October 2023. Non-parametric tests were used to analyze the differences in direct, indirect, and total economic burden among different groups of patients due to MPP. Multivariable Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors affecting economic burden. Results A total of 342 cases of hospitalized MPP were investigated. The total economic burden was higher in severe cases and those with symptoms of fever, cough, and headache (P<0.001). Seeking medical treatment at a tertiary general hospital in a remote urban area (OR=0.156, 95% CI: 0.032-0.764), being aged 19-59 years (OR=13.706, 95% CI: 4.697-39.999), being aged ≥60 years (OR=57.661, 95% CI: 13.283-250.315), hospitalization lasting more than 7 days (OR=3.244, 95% CI: 1.624-6.479), and caregivers missing work for more than 7 days (OR=8.323, 95% CI: 4.108-16.862) were identified as factors associated with the total economic burden (P<0.05). Conclusion Visiting a children’s specialized hospital, severe cases, having symptoms of fever, cough, and headache, increasing age, length of hospital stay, and days of caregiver’s lost work all bring heavier economic burdens to patients. Public health policy interventions such as strengthening clinical diagnosis and treatment, and improving the medical security system should be strengthened to reduce the economic burden on patients.
