Effect of diabetes on mortality and length of hospital stay in patients with renal or perinephric abscess

Abstract: OBJECTIVES:We compared the risk of in-hospital mortality and the length of hospital stay between diabetic and non-diabetic patients hospitalized for renal or perinephric abscess.METHOD:The data analyzed in this study were retrieved from Taiwan's National Health Insurance claims. The risk of in-hospital mortality and the length of hospital stay were compared between 1,715 diabetic patients, hospitalized because of renal or perinephric abscess in Taiwan between 1997 and 2007, and a random sample of 477 non-diabe… Show more

“…1b) despite diabetics having overall longer LOS. This is consistent with other studies [25,[27][28][29]. The present study differs from other works by including only people over 65 years and adjusting for the confounding of disease burden by using the CCI.…”

“…Most of studies that deal with mortality and diabetes are longitudinal studies [20][21][22][23][24]. There only a few studies that explore in-hospital mortality associated with diabetes and these are disease speci c [25][26][27]. Two of the studies show not effect on inpatient mortality [25,27].…”

“…16 However, other studies reported that diabetes was significantly associated with a longer length of hospital stay among patients with renal abscess, by 3.38 days (95% CI: 1.59-5.17). 18 Also, EMS calls for less urgent condition among diabetics can't be ruled out. 16 DM programs as advised by AHA (American Heart Association) can help to prevent emergencies and EMS calls for less urgent conditions among diabetics.…”
