Overview

Retrospective cohort study reveals higher mortality in interhospital transfer patients with AML, suggesting need for timely care.

Key Points

  • This study aims to compare inpatient outcomes for AML patients based on admission type: directly admitted versus interhospital transfer.
  • Weighted retrospective cohort study using National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data from 2016 to 2022.
  • Patients categorized by admission type: direct admission vs. interhospital transfer.
  • Primary outcome measured was in-hospital mortality; secondary outcomes included length of stay, total hospital charges, and complications.
  • Transferred patients had in-hospital mortality of 15.3% compared to 7.4% for directly admitted patients.
  • Mean length of stay for transferred patients was significantly longer (16.87 days vs 11.05 days).
  • The incidence of complications like acute kidney injury and sepsis was higher in transferred patients.
