The objective of this study was to provide estimates of hospitalizations attributed to oral health related conditions in the United States (US).
The nationwide inpatient sample (NIS) of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) for 2008 was used. Hospital admissions with a primary diagnosis of dental/oral health-related conditions were identified using ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes.
A total of 50,658 hospital admissions were primarily attributed to oral health-related conditions in 2008. Total US hospitalization charges were $1.218 billion. Total US hospitalization days were 174,496 days.
The current study examines outcomes in patients hospitalized primarily for dental/oral health-related conditions. Of 39,885,120 hospitalizations that occurred in the US, a total of 50,658 (1.27%) were primarily attributed to dental-related conditions. Substantial resources are spent in treating dental-related conditions in hospital settings.
本研究旨在提供美国(美国)与口腔健康相关疾病住院治疗的估计数。
使用医疗保健成本和利用项目(HCUP)的全国住院患者样本(NIS)。使用 ICD-9-CM 诊断代码确定主要诊断为牙科/口腔健康相关疾病的住院入院。
2008 年共有 50658 例主要归因于口腔健康相关疾病的住院治疗。美国的总住院费用为 12.18 亿美元。美国的总住院天数为 174496 天。
本研究检查了主要因牙科/口腔健康相关疾病住院的患者的结果。在美国发生的 39885120 例住院治疗中,共有 50658 例(1.27%)主要归因于与牙齿相关的疾病。在医院环境中治疗与牙齿相关的疾病会花费大量资源。
