Excerpt

This Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Statistical Brief presents statistics on nonmaternal inpatient stays involving type 1 or type 2 diabetes among patients aged 1 year or older using weighted estimates from the 2018 National Inpatient Sample (NIS). Patient and hospital characteristics, as well as average length of stay, cost per stay, and in-hospital mortality, are examined by type of diabetes and compared with stays without a diabetes diagnosis. Additionally, reasons for hospitalization and comorbidities among stays involving type 1 or type 2 diabetes are presented. Because of the large sample size of the NIS data, small differences can be statistically significant. Thus, only differences greater than or equal to 10 percent are discussed in the text.
