Popis: Outcomes-based data regarding the management of hospitalized U.S. patients with acute idiopathic pericarditis (AIP) are lacking.This study sought to elucidate the clinical and economic outcomes associated with the inpatient care of AIP.Cohort study of adults with AIP; multivariable analyses of clinical and economic outcomes (inpatient mortality, surgical or medical complications, length of stay, and medical charges).Surgical or medical complications, pericardiocentesis, and pericardiotomy were each independently associated with a significantly higher odds of inpatient mortality (p0.05). Pericardiocentesis, pericardiotomy, and pericardiectomy were also independently associated with significantly higher odds for complications (p0.001) and, overall, surgical or medical complications were associated with longer lengths of stay and higher charges (p0.001). A higher odds of inpatient mortality was associated with micropolitan or rural patient residence, Medicaid payor, and African American race (p0.05).U.S. inpatient cases of AIP are associated with significant use of healthcare resources, disparities, morbidity, and mortality.
