Abstract

People with diabetes mellitus (DM) have increased infection risk. The healthcare utilization of pediatric and adolescent diabetic patients with infection is not well defined. This study evaluates the number of pediatric and adolescent patients with DM that seek medical treatment for infection management and assesses its socioeconomic impact. A retrospective analysis was performed using the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database on children and adolescents with DM who presented to the Emergency Department (ED) or were hospitalized for infection management from 2008 to 2014. The PHIS database collects admission, demographic, and economic data from 44 freestanding children's hospitals across the United States. In total, 123 599 diabetic patient encounters were identified (77% type 1 DM, 23% type 2 DM). ED visits and hospitalizations for type 1 DM and type 2 DM increased throughout the study period. Total charges for these encounters were greater than $250 million dollars per year and increased each year. Infection encounters make up more than 30% of that cost while accounting for only 14% of the visits. Respiratory infections were the most common type of infection followed by skin and soft tissue infections for both E...Continue Reading
