Factors Contributing to Increases in Diabetes-Related Preventable Hospitalization Costs Among U.S. Adults During 2001-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine changes in diabetes-related preventable hospitalization costs and to determine the contribution of each underlying factor to these changes.

Research design and methods

We used data from the 2001-2014 U.S. National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS) for adults (≥18 years old) to estimate the trends in hospitalization costs (2014 USD) in total and by condition (short-term complications, long-term complications, uncontrolled diabetes, and lower-extremity amputation). Using regression and growth models, we estimated the relative contribution of following underlying factors: total number of hospitalizations, rate of hospitalization, the number of people with diabetes, mean cost per admission, length of stay, and cost per day.
