| description | BackgroundWe aimed to assess trends in hospitalization, outcomes, and resource utilization among patients admitted with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Methods and ResultsWe used the 2003–2012 US Nationwide Inpatient Sample for this study. All admissions with an ACHD were identified using standard ICD codes. Resource utilization was assessed using length of stay, invasive procedure utilization, and cost of hospitalization. There was a significant increase in the number of both simple (101%) as well as complex congenital heart disease (53%)–related admissions across 2003–2012. In addition, there was a considerable increase in the prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors including older age, along with a higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral arterial disease. Besides miscellaneous causes, congestive heart failure (11.8%), valve disease (15.5%), and cerebrovascular accident (26.1%) were the top causes of admission to the hospital among patients with complex ACHD, simple ACHD without atrial septal defects/patent foramen ovale and simple atrial septal defects/patent foramen ovale patients, respectively. In‐hospital mortality has been relatively constant among patients with complex ACHD as well as simple ACHD without atrial septal defects/patent foramen ovale. However, there has been considerable increase in the average length of stay and cost of hospitalization among the ACHD patients during 2003–2012. ConclusionsThere has been a progressive increase in ACHD admissions across 2003–2012 in the United States, with increasing healthcare resource utilization among these patients. Moreover, there has been a change in the cardiovascular comorbidities of these patients, adding a layer of complexity in management of ACHD patients. |
