Abstract
Background
Drug-induced pancreatitis (DIP) is an underreported etiology of acute pancreatitis. DIP risk and prevalence has increased over the years with polypharmacy. Data on affected patients in the U.S. remain limited. We aim to assess disparities and outcomes in DIP hospitalizations.
Methods
Retrospective study including adults diagnosed with DIP using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2016–2020). The primary outcomes were inpatient mortality, and complications. Secondary outcomes included resource utilization metrics. Descriptive statistics, linear regression, and logistic regression were performed using SAS 9.4.
Results
5666 patients (mean age: 56.5 years; females 53.6 %) were included. Common comorbidities were hypertension (61.3 %), hyperlipidemia (42.3 %), and diabetes (22.9 %). The mortality rate was 1.5 %, with acute kidney injury (20.6 %), Sepsis (5.0 %), ileus (3.5 %) the common complications. The Mean LOS was 5.5 days, and the mean hospital charges were $60,811.20. Compared to White, Hispanics had significant odds of DIP admission (aOR: 1.11, 95 % CI: 1.01–1.21, p = 0.03) and increased risk of cardiac arrest (aOR 4.34, 95 % CI 1.17–15.35, p = 0.02). Black patients had significantly higher odds of severe DIP (aOR 1.26, 95 % CI 1.02–1.56, p = 0.03) and acute kidney injury (aOR 1.29, 95 % CI 1.04–1.61, p = 0.02), while Asian were more likely to develop sepsis (aOR 2.10, 95 % CI 1.07–3.83, p = 0.02), had higher hospital charges (+$42,008, p = 0.039) and longer LOS (+2.5 days, p < 0.01)..
Conclusion
There are significant racial disparities among patients and a substantial economic burden on healthcare systems. Multifaceted strategies and research into genetic and socioeconomic predispositions are needed to address DIP.
期刊介绍:
Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology publishes high-quality original research papers in the field of hepatology and gastroenterology. The editors put the accent on rapid communication of new research and clinical developments and so called "hot topic" issues. Following a clear Editorial line, besides original articles and case reports, each issue features editorials, commentaries and reviews. The journal encourages research and discussion between all those involved in the specialty on an international level. All articles are peer reviewed by international experts, the articles in press are online and indexed in the international databases (Current Contents, Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct).
Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology is a subscription journal (with optional open access), which allows you to publish your research without any cost to you (unless you proactively chose the open access option). Your article will be available to all researchers around the globe whose institution has a subscription to the journal.
