Ten-year trends and prediction model of 30-day inpatient mortality for alcoholic hepatitis in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) results in significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare burden. We aimed to evaluate the temporal trends of AH hospitalizations in the last decade and to devise a mortality scoring system for risk stratification.

Methods

National Inpatient Sample (NIS) databases from 2009-2019 were used to identify AH hospitalizations. Outcomes of interest included temporal trend analysis of length of stay (LOS), mean inpatient cost (MIC), mortality, and mortality predictors. A mortality scoring system was derived using multivariate Cox regression and validated using receiver operating characteristic curves.

Results

There was an increase in total AH hospitalizations, from 67,070 in 2009 to 125,540 in 2019 (P=0.004). The inpatient mortality increased from 2.48% in 2009 to 3.78% in 2019 (P=0.008). The MIC was $31,189 in 2009 and $62,229 in 2019 (P<0.001). A trend for LOS was not significant. Ten variables were selected for incorporation into a risk score, including anemia, age >60 years, female sex, mechanical ventilation, vasopressor use, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal syndrome, acute renal failure, coagulopathy (thrombocytopenia), and hepatic encephalopathy. The score has a maximum of eight points, and the cutoff for predicting mortality was set as 4 points. The area under the curve (AUC) of the derivation cohort was 0.8766 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.865-0.888) and AUC 0.862 (95%CI 0.855-0.868) for a 30-day period.

Conclusions

There has been an increase in AH hospitalizations and mortality in the last decade. The Tahira score provides an easy objective method to estimate inpatient 30-day mortality for AH hospitalizations.

Project description:BackgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third leading cause of vascular disease and accounts for $10 billion in annual US healthcare costs. The nationwide burden of 30-day readmissions after such events has not been comprehensively assessed.Methods and resultsWe analyzed adults ≥18 years of age with hospitalizations associated with acute VTE between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2014, in the Nationwide Readmissions Database. International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes were used to identify hospitalizations associated with acute pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis. The primary outcome was the rate of unplanned 30-day readmission. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to calculate hospital-specific 30-day risk-standardized readmission rates, a marker of healthcare quality. Among 1 176 335 hospitalizations with acute VTE, in-hospital death occurred in 6.2%. VTE was associated with malignancy in 19.7%, recent surgery in 19.3%, recent trauma in 4.6%, hypercoagulability in 3.3%, and pregnancy in 1.0%. Among survivors to discharge, the 30-day readmission rate was 17.5%, with no significant difference in rates across study years (17.4%-17.7%; P=0.10 for trend). Major predictors of readmission were malignancy (relative risk, 1.49, 95% confidence interval 1.47-1.50), Medicaid insurance (relative risk, 1.48, 95% confidence interval 1.46-1.50), and nonelective index admission (relative risk, 1.31, 95% confidence interval 1.29-1.33). Top causes of readmission included sepsis (9.6%) and procedural complications (8.1%). Median rehospitalization costs were $9781.7 (interquartile range, $5430.7-$18 784.1), and 8.1% died during readmission. The interquartile range in risk-standardized readmission rates was 16.6% to 18.3%, suggesting modest interhospital heterogeneity in readmission risk.ConclusionsNearly 1 in 5 patients with acute VTE were readmitted within 30 days. Predictors and causes of readmission were primarily related to patient characteristics and complications from comorbid conditions, whereas healthcare quality had a moderate impact on readmission risk.

Project description:BackgroundThe disease risks from cigarette smoking increased in the United States over most of the 20th century, first among male smokers and later among female smokers. Whether these risks have continued to increase during the past 20 years is unclear.MethodsWe measured temporal trends in mortality across three time periods (1959-1965, 1982-1988, and 2000-2010), comparing absolute and relative risks according to sex and self-reported smoking status in two historical cohort studies and in five pooled contemporary cohort studies, among participants who became 55 years of age or older during follow-up.ResultsFor women who were current smokers, as compared with women who had never smoked, the relative risks of death from lung cancer were 2.73, 12.65, and 25.66 in the 1960s, 1980s, and contemporary cohorts, respectively; corresponding relative risks for male current smokers, as compared with men who had never smoked, were 12.22, 23.81, and 24.97. In the contemporary cohorts, male and female current smokers also had similar relative risks for death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (25.61 for men and 22.35 for women), ischemic heart disease (2.50 for men and 2.86 for women), any type of stroke (1.92 for men and 2.10 for women), and all causes combined (2.80 for men and 2.76 for women). Mortality from COPD among male smokers continued to increase in the contemporary cohorts in nearly all the age groups represented in the study and within each stratum of duration and intensity of smoking. Among men 55 to 74 years of age and women 60 to 74 years of age, all-cause mortality was at least three times as high among current smokers as among those who had never smoked. Smoking cessation at any age dramatically reduced death rates.ConclusionsThe risk of death from cigarette smoking continues to increase among women and the increased risks are now nearly identical for men and women, as compared with persons who have never smoked. Among men, the risks associated with smoking have plateaued at the high levels seen in the 1980s, except for a continuing, unexplained increase in mortality from COPD.
