Diagnostic and demographic factors of pediatric and adult catatonia hospitalizations: A 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric disorder that can occur in patients of any age, but it is uncertain whether patient demographics or underlying diagnoses differ between pediatric and adult patients. This study investigates patients of all ages diagnosed with catatonia during acute care hospitalizations in the United States over a 5-year period.

Method

The National Inpatient Sample, an all-payors database of acute care hospital discharges, was queried for patients with a discharge diagnosis of catatonia between 2016 and 2020 with patients stratified by age as pediatric (≤18 years) or adult (>18 years).

Results

Among 174,776,205 hospitalizations recorded in the NIS from 2016 to 2020, 61,990 (95% CI: 60,257 to 63,723; 0.035%) involved a diagnosis of catatonia. O
