Is the Economic Impact and Utilization of Imaging Studies for Pediatric Urolithiasis Across the United States Increasing?


ABSTRACT: To identify longitudinal trends of economic impact and resource utilization for management of pediatric urolithiasis using national databases.We analyzed the 2006-2012 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample and Nationwide Inpatient Sample. We used ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases) codes to identify patients (?18 years) diagnosed with urolithiasis. Diagnostic imaging and surgeries were identified using ICD-9 and Current Procedural Technology codes. We abstracted demographic, imaging, procedure, and charge data. Weighted descriptive statistics were calculated to describe the population's demographics and economic expenditures by clinical setting and year.In total, 45,333 inpatient admissions (68% females) and 234,559 emergency department encounters (63% females) were identified. Most patients (84%) were teenagers and the southern region of the United States was the most common geographic region for all encounters (44%). There was no significant trend in number of urolithiasis encounters over the period studied. Utilization of all imaging techniques increased; in particular, computed tomography was used in 23% of encounters in 2006 and 40% in 2012 (P?
