28, 29 With regard to hospitalization, a higher DBI has also been associated with increased hospital days, increased hospitalization for delirium, and readmission to hospital (Table 2).
In either setting, AKI portends a poorer prognosis and has been associated with prolonged hospital stay, increased hospitalization cost and, more importantly, increased mortality [ 4, 5].
The anemia is associated with increased mortality and morbidity including increased hospitalization and increased health care costs [ 1- 15].
Such infections result in increased mortality and morbidity, and the increased hospitalization costs continue to put enormous strain on the healthcare system [ 3- 5].
Our observations on malaria epidemiology suggest that the increased hospitalization rate could be due to increased severity of P. vivax infections.
Prospective analyses of the OTC cohort presented here revealed that infectious precipitants led to increased hospitalization rates (Fig. 1C) and length of hospital stay (Fig. 1D).
Septicemia was associated with increased hospitalization charges and a prolonged duration of stay in hospital after adjustments for confounders (P<0.0001).Septicemia is associated with adverse outcomes among children hospitalized for leukemia treatment.
In addition to increased hospitalization rates and length of stay, infection-associated HA was also accompanied by increased utilization of IV ammonia scavengers (Fig. 1E).
Comorbidity is also associated with increased hospitalization rates and poorer quality of life.
By contrast, private Medicare plans that increased co-payments for primary-care visits — and thereby reduced such visits — saw increased hospitalization rates.
The group said that high pollution levels caused exposure to microscopic dust that embedded itself in the lungs, leading to increased hospitalization for asthma, lung disease, chronic bronchitis and heart damage, and that they could cause lung cancer.
