Inpatient mortality in transition-aged youth with rheumatic disease: an analysis of the National Inpatient Sample.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Transition from pediatric to adult care is a vulnerable time for youth with chronic diseases. In youth with rheumatic disease, studies show high rates of loss to follow up and increased disease activity. However, mortality data are lacking. In this study, we assessed whether transitional age is a risk factor for inpatient mortality. METHODS:We analyzed the 2012-2014 National Inpatient Sample database, a representative sample of discharges in the United States. Individuals with rheumatic diseases were identified by International Statistical Classification of Disease - 9 (ICD-9) codes at time of discharge. Youth were categorized into three age groups: pre-transitional (11-17), transitional (18-24) and post transitional (25-31). We fitted univariable and multivariable logistic regression models to assess whether transitional age was a risk factor for inpatient mortality. RESULTS:There were 30,269 hospital discharges which met our inclusion criteria of diagnosis and age. There were 195 inpatient deaths (0.7%). The most common causes of death were infection (39.5%), pulmonary disease (13.8%), and cardiac disease (11.2%). The Odds ratio for inpatient mortality of a transitional-aged individual was 1.18 compared to controls (p?=?0.3). Black race (OR?=?1.4), male sex (OR?=?1.75), and a diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (OR?=?4.81) or vasculitis (OR?=?2.85) were the greatest risk factors of inpatient mortality. CONCLUSION:Transitional age was not a risk factor for inpatient mortality in this study. We did identify other risk factors other than age. Further studies are required to assess if there is an increased risk of mortality in outpatients of the transitional age group.

Project description:ImportancePregnancy outcomes are historically poor among people with sickle cell disease (SCD) in the US, most of whom have Black race. Whether outcomes have improved is unknown.ObjectiveTo tabulate adverse pregnancy outcomes among patients with SCD, comparing outcomes of deliveries among Black people with SCD with those of Black people without SCD and a control non-Black population, and to measure the association of racial disparities with adverse outcomes in SCD pregnancies.Design, setting, and participantsThis cross-sectional study was a secondary analysis involving data from National Inpatient Sample, a nationally representative sample of 20% of acute hospital admissions in the US, between 2012 and 2018. The data set included all admissions with codes for delivery of a pregnancy among people aged 11 to 55 years. Data were analyzed from September 2021 to August 2022.ExposuresSCD, racial disparities.Main outcomes and measuresSevere maternal morbidity (SMM) as measured by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's index alongside other outcomes; multiple logistic regression was used to compare the odds for adverse pregnancy outcomes.ResultsThe sample included 5 401 899 deliveries, including 3901 deliveries among people with SCD and 742 164 deliveries among people with Black race. Compared with the non-Black control group, patients with SCD and Black patients were younger (mean [SD] age: SCD, 27.2 [5.9] years; Black, 27.1 [6.1] years vs 28.7 [5.9] years) and more likely to have public insurance (SCD, 2609 deliveries [67.3%]; Black, 496 828 deliveries [65.4%] vs 1 880 198 deliveries [40.8%]). The maternal mortality rate in deliveries among people with SCD was 26 times greater than in the non-Black control group and more than 10 times greater than among Black pregnant people without SCD (Per 10 000 deliveries: SCD 13.3; 95% CI, 5.7-31.2; Black race, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0-1.5; non-Black control 0.5; 95% CI, 0.5-0.6). Compared with the control group, SCD deliveries had higher odds of SMM (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 7.22; 95% CI, 6.25-8.34; P < .001), especially cerebrovascular events (aOR, 22.00; 95% CI, 15.25-31.72; P < .001) and thromboembolism (aOR, 17.34; 95% CI, 11.55-26.03; P < .001). Racial disparities explained a median (IQR) 28.9% (21.2%-33.1%) of the increased risk in deliveries to people with SCD and between 40% and 50% of the increased risk for acute kidney failure (excess risk [ER], 56.9%; 95% CI, 54.3%-59.3%), intrauterine fetal demise (ER, 47.8%; 95% CI, 46.6%-49.1%), and eclampsia (ER, 42.1%; 95% CI, 37.9%-46.1%).Conclusions and relevanceIn this large cross-sectional study of pregnancy outcomes in people with SCD, the risk for SMM was higher compared with deliveries among people without SCD, especially for thrombotic events, organ failure, and death. Racial disparities were associated with adverse outcomes. Our findings compel scientific, clinical, and political effort to improve outcomes for pregnant people with SCD.

Project description:BackgroundThe global health community is devoting considerable attention to adolescents and young people, but risk of death in this population is poorly measured. We aimed to reconstruct global, regional, and national mortality trends for youths aged 15-24 years between 1990 and 2019.MethodsIn this systematic analysis, we used all publicly available data on mortality in the age group 15-24 years for 195 countries, as compiled by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation. We used nationally representative vital registration data, estimated the completeness of death registration, and extracted mortality rates from surveys with sibling histories, household deaths reported in censuses, and sample registration systems. We used a Bayesian B-spline bias-reduction model to generate trends in 10q15, the probability that an adolescent aged 15 years would die before reaching age 25 years. This model treats observations of the 10q15 probability as the product of the actual risk of death and an error multiplier that varies depending on the data source. The main outcome that we assessed was the levels of and trends in youth mortality and the global and regional mortality rates from 1990 to 2019.FindingsGlobally, the probability of an individual dying between age 15 years and 24 years was 11·2 deaths (90% uncertainty interval [UI] 10·7-12·5) per 1000 youths aged 15 in 2019, which is about 2·5 times less than infant mortality (28·2 deaths [27·2-30·0] by age 1 year per 1000 live births) but is higher than the risk of dying from age 1 to 5 (9·7 deaths [9·1-11·1] per 1000 children aged 1 year). The probability of dying between age 15 years and 24 years declined by 1·4% per year (90% UI 1·1-1·8) between 1990 and 2019, from 17·1 deaths (16·5-18·9) per 1000 in 1990; by contrast with this total decrease of 34% (27-41), under-5 mortality declined by 59% (56-61) in this period. The annual number of deaths declined from 1·7 million (90% UI 1·7-1·9) in 1990 to 1·4 million (1·3-1·5) in 2019. In sub-Saharan Africa, the number of deaths increased by 20·8% from 1990 to 2019. Although 18·3% of the population aged 15-24 years were living in sub-Saharan Africa in 2019, the region accounted for 37·9% (90% UI 34·8-41·9) of all worldwide deaths in youth.InterpretationIt is urgent to accelerate progress in reducing youth mortality. Efforts are particularly needed in sub-Saharan Africa, where the burden of mortality is increasingly concentrated. In the future, a growing number of countries will see youth mortality exceeding under-5 mortality if current trends continue.FundingUN Children's Fund, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, United States Agency for International Development.

Project description:Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of preexisting atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with MRSA-BSI during a three-year period and the impact of preexisting AF on MRSA-BSI outcomes. Methods This was a retrospective analysis performed using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) over a three-year period (2016, 2017, 2018) for patients with MRSA-BSI as a principal diagnosis with and without preexisting AF. The primary outcome was mortality with secondary outcomes of acute coronary syndrome, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, endocarditis, respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, length of stay, hospital cost, and patient charge. A univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis estimated clinical outcomes. Results Preexisting AF in patients with MRSA-BSI significantly increased the primary outcome of the study, mortality (1.67% vs. 0.66%, p=0.030) with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 1.98 (95% CI, 1.1–3.7). Secondary outcomes showed increased likelihood of cardiac arrest with MRSA-BSI and AF (0.48% vs. 0.2%, p=0.025) with an AOR 3.59 (CI 1.18–11.0), ACS (3.44% vs. 1.21%, p=0.008) with an AOR of 1.81 (CI 1.16–2.80), respiratory failure (8.92% vs. 4.02%, p=0.045) with an AOR 1.39 (CI 1.01–1.91), prolonged LOS (6.4 vs. 5.4 days, p=0.0001), increased hospital cost ($13,374 vs. $11,401, p=0.0001), and increased overall patient charge ($50,091 vs. $43,018, p=0.0001). Secondary outcomes that showed statistical significance included ACS (1,497 (3.44%) vs. 113 (1.21%), p=0.008) with an AOR of 1.81 (CI 1.16–2.80), cardiac arrest (209 (0.48%) vs. 19 (0.2%), p=0.025) with an AOR 3.59 (CI 1.18–11.0), and respiratory failure (3,881 (8.92%) vs. 374 (4.02%), p=0.045 with an AOR 1.39 (CI 1.01–1.91). Conclusions Preexisting AF is a significant risk factor for mortality in patients admitted for MRSA-BSI and increases risk for cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, and ACS. Considerations should focus on early treatment and source control, especially with AF given the mortality risk, increased hospitalization cost, and prolonged LOS.
