Co-occurrence of Physical Health Conditions and Mental Health and Substance Use Conditions Among Adult Inpatient Stays, 2010 Versus 2014

Excerpt

This Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Statistical Brief presents data on the co-occurrence of physical health conditions and M/SUDs among adult inpatient stays in 2010 and 2014. Comparisons in the 2 years are made for the prevalence of stays for M/SUDs (i.e., principal diagnosis) with a co-occurring physical health condition (i.e., secondary diagnosis) and for the prevalence of stays for physical health conditions (i.e., principal diagnosis) with a co-occurring M/SUD (i.e., secondary diagnosis). Separately, for the two types of stays—M/SUD stays with a co-occurring physical health condition and physical health stays with a co-occurring M/SUD—the following statistics are presented for 2014: (1) the distribution of stays with co-occurring conditions by type of principal diagnosis, (2) the 10 most common specific co-occurring conditions, and (3) the distribution of stays with co-occurring conditions by select patient and hospital characteristics. Differences are noted in the text only if they are 10 percent or greater.
