Abstract

In the inpatient setting, prevalence, predictors, and outcomes [mortality risk (MR), length of stay (LOS), and total charges (TC)] of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are largely unknown. We used data on older adults (60+ y) from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2002-2012. AD prevalence was ∼3.12% in 2012 (total weighted discharges with AD ± standard error: 474, 410 ± 6,276). Co-morbidities prevailing more in AD inpatient admissions included depression (OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.63-1.71, p < 0.001), fluid/electrolyte disorders (OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.22-1.27, p < 0.001), weight loss (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.22-1.30, p < 0.001), and psychosis (OR = 2.59, 95% CI: 2.47-2.71, p < 0.001), with mean total co-morbidities increasing over time. AD was linked to higher MR and longer LOS, but lower TC. TC rose in AD, while MR and LOS dropped markedly over time. In AD, co-morbidities predicting simultaneously higher MR, TC, and LOS (2012) included congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, coagulopathy, fluid/electrolyte disorders, metastatic cancer, paralysis, pulmonary circulatory disorders, and weight loss. In sum, co-morbidities and TC increased over time in AD, while MR and LOS dropped. Few co-morbidities predicted occurrence of AD or adverse outcomes in AD.

  • A study of inpatient hospitalizations of adults age 60 and older found that those with Alzheimer's dementia were at 7% greater risk of dying during the hospital stay and stayed nearly a day longer than individuals without Alzheimer's dementia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
