Association between Metabolic Obesity Phenotypes and the Burden of Hospitalized Postmenopausal Patients Concomitant with Osteoporosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study Based on the National Readmission Database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The present definition of obesity based on body mass index (BMI) is not accurate and effective enough to identify hospitalized patients with a heavier burden, especially for postmenopausal hospitalized patients concomitant with osteoporosis. The link between common concomitant disorders of major chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, obesity, and metabolic syndrome (MS) remains unclear. Here, we aim to evaluate the impact of different metabolic obesity phenotypes on the burden of postmenopausal hospitalized patients concomitant with osteoporosis in view of unplanned readmissions.

Methods

Data was acquired from the National Readmission Database 2018. The study population was classified into metabolically healthy non-obese (MHNO), metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUNO), metabolically healthy obese (MHO), and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) patients. We estimated the associations between metabolic obesity phenotypes and 30- and 90-day unplanned readmissions. A multivariate Cox Proportional Hazards (PH) model was used to assess the effect of factors on endpoints, with results expressed as HR and 95% CI.

Results

The 30-day and 90-day readmission rates for the MUNO and MUO phenotypes were higher than that of the MHNO group (all p < 0.05), whereas no significant difference was found between the MHNO and MHO groups. For 30-day readmissions, MUNO raised the risk mildly (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.110, p < 0.001), MHO had a higher risk (HR = 1.145, p = 0.002), and MUO further elevated this risk (HR = 1.238, p < 0.001). As for 90-day readmissions, both MUNO and MHO raised the risk slightly (HR = 1.134, p < 0.001; HR = 1.093, p = 0.014, respectively), and MUO had the highest risk (HR = 1.263, p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Metabolic abnormalities were associated with elevated rates and risks of 30- or 90-day readmission among postmenopausal hospitalized women complicated with osteoporosis, whereas obesity did not seem to be innocent, and the combination of these factors led to an additional burden on healthcare systems and individuals. These findings indicate that clinicians and researchers should focus not only on weight management but also metabolism intervention among patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Project description:Background & purposeObesity and metabolic disorders were associated with increased risk of MM, a disease characterized by high risk of relapsing and require frequent hospitalizations. In this study, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to explore the association of metabolic obesity phenotypes with the readmission risk of MM.Patients & methodsWe analyzed 34,852 patients diagnosed with MM from the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD), a nationally representative database from US. Hospitalization diagnosis of patients were obtained using ICD-10 diagnosis codes. According to obesity and metabolic status, the population was divided into four phenotypes: metabolically healthy non-obese (MHNO), metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUNO), metabolically healthy obese (MHO), and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO). The patients with different phenotypes were observed for hospital readmission at days 30-day, 60-day, 90-day and 180-day. Multivariate cox regression model was used to estimate the relationship between obesity metabolic phenotypes and readmissions risk.ResultsThere were 5,400 (15.5%), 7,255 (22.4%), 8,025 (27.0%) and 7,839 (35.6%) unplanned readmissions within 30-day, 60-day, 90-day and 180-day follow-up, respectively. For 90-day and 180-day follow-up, compared with patients with the MHNO phenotype, those with metabolic unhealthy phenotypes MUNO (90-day: P = 0.004; 180-day: P = < 0.001) and MUO (90-day: P = 0.049; 180-day: P = 0.004) showed higher risk of readmission, while patients with only obesity phenotypes MHO (90-day: P = 0.170; 180-day: P = 0.090) experienced no higher risk. However, similar associations were not observed for 30-day and 60-day. Further analysis in 90-day follow-up revealed that, readmission risk elevated with the increase of the combined factor numbers, with aHR of 1.068 (CI: 1.002-1.137, P = 0.043, with one metabolic risk factor), 1.109 (CI: 1.038-1.184, P = 0.002, with two metabolic risk factors) and 1.125 (95% CI: 1.04-1.216, P = 0.003, with three metabolic risk factors), respectively.ConclusionMetabolic disorders, rather than obesity, were independently associated with higher readmission risk in patients with MM, whereas the risk elevated with the increase of the number of combined metabolic factors. However, the effect of metabolic disorders on MM readmission seems to be time-dependent. For MM patient combined with metabolic disorders, more attention should be paid to advance directives to reduce readmission rate and hospitalization burden.

Project description:BackgroundHospital readmissions for pneumonia are a growing concern in the US, with significant consequences for costs and quality of care. This study developed the rule-based model and other machine learning (ML) models to predict 30-day readmission risk in patients with pneumonia and compared model performance.MethodsThis population-based study involved patients aged ≥ 18 years hospitalized with pneumonia from January 1, 2016, through November 30, 2016, using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project-National Readmission Database (HCUP-NRD). Rule-based algorithms and other ML algorithms, specifically decision trees, random forest, extreme gradient descent boosting (XGBoost), and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), were used to model all-cause readmissions 30 days post-discharge from index pneumonia hospitalization. A total of 61 clinically relevant variables were included for ML model development. Models were trained on randomly partitioned 50% of the data and evaluated using the remaining dataset. Model hyperparameters were tuned using the ten-fold cross-validation on the resampled training dataset. The area under the receiver operating curves (AUROC) and area under precision-recall curves (AUPRC) were calculated for the testing set to evaluate the model performance.ResultsOf the 372,293 patients with an index hospital hospitalization for pneumonia, 48,280 (12.97%) were readmitted within 30 days. Judged by AUROC in the testing data, rule-based model (0.6591) significantly outperformed decision tree (0.5783, p value < 0.001), random forest (0.6509, p value < 0.01) and LASSO (0.6087, p value < 0.001), but was less superior than XGBoost (0.6606, p value = 0.015). The AUPRC of the rule-based model in the testing data (0.2146) was higher than the decision tree (0.1560), random forest (0.2052), and LASSO (0.2042), but was similar to XGBoost (0.2147). The top risk-predictive rules captured by the rule-based algorithm were comorbidities, illness severity, disposition locations, payer type, age, and length of stay. These predictive risk factors were also identified by other ML models with high variable importance.ConclusionThe performance of machine learning models for predicting readmission in pneumonia patients varied. The XGboost was better than the rule-based model based on the AUROC. However, important risk factors for predicting readmission remained consistent across ML models.
