	  abstract     = {The latest years the number of immigrants at Greece
has increased dramatically. Their impact on the National Health
System (NHS) has not been yet thoroughly investigated. This paper
analyses the cost of immigrants to the NHS hospitals of the region of
Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. The data are collected from 2005 to
2011 from five different hospitals and are analysed using linear
mixed effects models in order to investigate the effects of nationality
and year on the cost of hospitalization and treatment. The results
show that generally the Greek nationality patients have a higher mean
cost of hospitalization compared to the immigrants and that there is
an increasing trend for the cost except for the year 2010.},
