Healio (10/18, Keenan) reports, “When observed over a 17-year period, the hospitalization and in-hospital mortality of hospitalizations with cocaine use disorder remained stable,” researchers concluded after “using the U.S. National Inpatient Sample…data from 1998 to 2014” to evaluate “time-trends in hospitalization rates and the predictors of health care utilization (total hospital charges, discharge destination, length of hospital stay) and in-hospital mortality for” cocaine use hospitalization. The findings were published online ahead of print in the December issue of the Journal of Psychiatric Research.
