Trends and Resource Use for Kernicterus Hospitalizations in the United States.

Objective: To evaluate the trends in hospitalization for kernicterus in the United States from 2006 through 2016.

Trends and Resource Utilization for Neonatal Jaundice Hospitalizations in the United States.

Objectives: To evaluate the trends in hospitalization for neonatal jaundice and its management with phototherapy and exchange transfusion in the United States from 2006 through 2016.

Methods: Repeated, cross-sectional analysis of the 2006 to 2016 editions of the Kids' Inpatient Database. All neonatal hospitalizations with an International Classification of Diseases, 9th or 10th Revision, Clinical Modification code for jaundice and admitted at age ≤28 days were included.

Tracheostomy trends in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the United States: 2008-2017.

Objective: To determine the trends in tracheostomy placement and resource use in preterm infants less than or equal to 30 weeks gestational age (GA) with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in the United States from 2008 to 2017.

Study Design: This was a retrospective, serial cross-sectional study using data from the NIS. Inclusion criteria were: GA less than or equal to 30 weeks, hospitalization at less than or equal to 28 days of age, assignment of International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD9-CM) or ICD10-CM codes for BPD and tracheostomy.

Temporal Trends of Intracranial Hemorrhage Among Immune Thrombocytopenia Hospitalizations in the United States.

Background:  Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a rare but severe complication in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). We aimed to examine the incidence and outcomes of ICH among ITP hospitalizations and factors associated with it. Additionally, we studied resource utilization for these hospitalizations.

Pyloric Stenosis: National Trends in the Incidence Rate and Resource Use in the United States From 2012 to 2016.

Objectives: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is the most common reason for abdominal surgery in infants; however, national-level data on incidence rate and resource use are lacking. We aimed to examine the national trends in hospitalizations for IHPS and resource use in its management in the United States from 2012 to 2016.

Methods: We performed a retrospective serial cross-sectional study using data from the National Inpatient Sample, the largest health care database in the United States.
