Recreational Cannabis Use and Risk of Prescription Opioid Overdose: Insights from Pediatric Inpatients.

Objectives Our first goal is to evaluate the prevalence of hospital admissions for prescription opioid overdose (POD) in pediatric inpatients, and next goal is to measure the independent association between cannabis use disorders (CUD) and POD. Methods We used the nationwide inpatient sample (NIS) and included 27,444,239 pediatric inpatients (age ≤ 18 years), and 10,562 (0.04%) were managed primarily for POD.

Demographics and Hospital Outcomes in American Women With Endometriosis and Psychiatric Comorbidities.

Objectives To explore sociodemographic differences and hospital outcomes in endometriosis patients with versus without psychiatric comorbidities. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS, 2012-2014), and included 63,160 females with primary diagnosis of endometriosis. We used descriptive statistics and Pearson's chi-square test to measure the differences in demographics and utilization of gynecologic procedures by the presence of psychiatric comorbidities.

Predictors for Extending Hospitalization Stay in Electroconvulsive Therapy Recipients With Bipolar Disorder, Manic Episodes.

Objectives We aim to discern the demographic predictors that may extend the hospitalization length of stay (LOS) for patients with bipolar disorder (BD), manic episodes managed with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and to study the impact of insurance and hospital characteristics on LOS. Methods We used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS, 2012-2014) from the United States hospitals and included 2,785 adult inpatients (mean age 51.3 ± 16.
