Study Objective: An upsurge of high-risk opioid misuse has contributed to the epidemic of opioid overdose in the United States. The primary aim was to report the rate of opioid overdose among the pediatric population and to report demographic and medical differences among POD versus IOD populations.
Design: Retrospective descriptive analysis of opioid overdose using the largest pediatric inpatient database in the United States.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a predictive model to identify factors linked to longer hospital stays among Medicare patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- Data was collected from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample registry covering 91,880 patients, with results showing that extended hospital stays were greater than 5 days, influenced by sociodemographic and medical factors.
- The final model demonstrated high accuracy in predicting extended stays, especially noting that using drug-eluting stents was linked to a 31% reduced risk of longer hospital stays.
