Covid-19 Admission Rates and Changes in US Hospital Inpatient and Intensive Care Unit Occupancy
In this cross-sectional study of US hospital discharges in 45 states in 2020, hospital occupancy decreased during weeks with low COVID-19 admissions and increased during weeks with high COVID-19 admissions, with the largest changes occurring early in the pandemic. These findings suggest that surges in COVID-19 strained ICUs and were associated with large decreases in the number of surgical patients. These occupancy fluctuations may have affected …
Trends in Opioid-related Inpatient Stays Shifted After the US Transitioned to ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Coding in 2015
BACKGROUND: Trend analyses of opioid-related inpatient stays depend on the availability of comparable data over time. In October 2015, the US transitioned diagnosis coding from International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) to ICD-10-CM, increasing from ∼14,000 to 68,000 codes. This study examines how trend analyses of inpatient stays involving opioid diagnoses were affected by the transition to ICD-10-…
Marginal Hospital Cost of Surgery-related Hospital-acquired Pressure Ulcers
BACKGROUND: Patients who develop hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) are more likely to die, have longer hospital stays, and are at greater risk of infections. Patients undergoing surgery are prone to developing pressure ulcers (PUs). OBJECTIVE: To estimate the hospital marginal cost of a HAPU for adults patients who were hospitalized for major surgeries, adjusted for patient characteristics, comorbidities, procedures, and hospital characte…
Thirty-Day, All-cause Readmissions for Elderly Patients Who Have an Injury-related Inpatient Stay
BACKGROUND: Policymakers are exploring ways to reduce readmission rates. Much attention has been given to readmissions for conditions such as heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, and pneumonia, but little attention has been given to readmissions of patients with injury-related index admissions. METHODS: This analysis is a retrospective cohort study of elderly persons who are admitted to a community hospital for a principal diagnosis of inj…
Children??s Health Care in the First National Healthcare Quality Report and National Healthcare Disparities Report
BACKGROUND: The first National Healthcare Quality Report (NHQR) and National Healthcare Disparities Report (NHDR) are landmark events for children's health care quality and are expected to stimulate local measurement, benchmarking, and quality improvement efforts. METHOD: The authors select findings from the NHQR and NHDR, focusing on topics reflecting a range of health care and health care settings affecting children. They highlight disparities …
