AB  - Researchers' aim was to investigate if patients/physicians characteristics could 
      differently affect males/females health care expenditure. In 2009/2010, a 
      health-related-quality-of-life (HRQL) measure was distributed to 887 general 
      practitioners' (GP) patients in Siena's province-Italy. Severity of diseases was 
      calculated through Cumulative Illness Rating Scale Severity Index (CIRS-SI). 
      Information about GPs' gender and age and patients' gender, age, and 
      socio-economic variables were recorded. 2012 data about pharmaceutical, 
      outpatient and hospital expenditure were obtained. Multivariate regression was 
      carried out. In males, hospital expenditure increased with higher CIRS-SI and 
      female GP whilst in females it was not influenced by any of the variables. 
      Outpatient and pharmaceutical expenditure increased with aging, higher CIRS-SI, 
      and lower HRQL and education, both in males and females. Gender differences in 
      health expenditure determinants emerged for hospital expenditure.
