In this cohort study, young adults with 4Cs had longer acute care medical hospitalizations, accounting for 10.7% of all young adult hospital bed-days, and more rehospitalizations than other young adults. The results suggest that this population should be prioritized for targeted measures to reduce inpatient stays and improve care. The Charlson Comorbidity Index may be of limited utility for capturing comorbidities in this population.
