Title: Sa1534 – Primary Biliary Cholangitis Patients Who are Older, Have Medicaid-Type Insurance, Or are African American Race/Ethnicity Have the Highest Risk of In-Hospital Mortality in the United States: An Analysis of the 2007-2014 Nationwide Inpatient Sample
Abstract: non-calculous AC likely is due to the high rate of ERCP and early definitive treatment (cholecystectomy).The low mortality of benign AC compared to older rates in the literature likely is secondary to widespread utilization of ERCP, which also decreases readmission risk.Readmissions frequently were for recurrent AC and other infection-related comorbidities.Patients who were relatively younger, with Medicare as primary insurance, had multiple comorbidities, non-calculous benign AC, septicemia, and prolonged hospitalization are at high risk for readmission; these populations should be targeted for better intervention to prevent readmissions.Table 1: Top Primary Causes for Readmission Primary causes Non-calculous All benign cause Proportion of Calculous acute Proportion of Proportion of for readmission benign acute choacute cholangitis readmissions (%) cholangitis readmissions (%) readmissions (%) (Top 1-5) langitis Unspecified Sep-Unspecified Sep-1 10.8 11.8 Acute cholangitis 11.2 ticemia ticemia Unspecified Sep-2 Acute cholangitis 8.3 Acute cholangitis 4.6 10.4 ticemia Acute pancreati-Acute pancreati-Acute pancreati-3 3.7 4.1 3.4 tis tis tis Acute kidney fail-Bile duct calcu-Acute kidney fail-4 2.2 3.2 2.6 ure lus ure
