This HCUP Statistical Brief presents statistics on the costs of ED visits with diagnoses of mental and substance use disorders (MSUDs) in the United States using the 2017 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS). ED visits include patients treated and released from the ED as well as those admitted to the same hospital through the ED. Total (aggregate) and average costs for MSUD ED visits are presented by MSUD diagnosis category. Total and average costs for MSUD ED visits are also presented by select patient and hospital characteristics compared with costs for all ED visits. The distribution of total ED visit costs for the five most costly MSUD diagnoses is presented by patient age group and primary expected payer. Because of the large sample size of the NEDS data, small differences can be statistically significant. Thus, only percentage differences in estimates or proportions greater than or equal to 10 percent are discussed in the text.
本医疗成本和利用项目（HCUP）统计简报使用2017年全国急诊科样本（NEDS）呈现了美国诊断为精神和物质使用障碍（MSUDs）的急诊就诊费用统计数据。急诊就诊包括在急诊科接受治疗并出院的患者以及通过急诊科入院至同一家医院的患者。MSUD急诊就诊的总（汇总）费用和平均费用按MSUD诊断类别列出。与所有急诊就诊费用相比，MSUD急诊就诊的总费用和平均费用也按选定的患者和医院特征列出。五个费用最高的MSUD诊断的急诊就诊总费用分布按患者年龄组和主要预期支付方列出。由于NEDS数据样本量较大，小差异在统计上可能具有显著性。因此，文本中仅讨论估计值或比例中大于或等于10%的百分比差异。
