Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of the 2016-2022 National Inpatient Sample
ICD-10 codes used to classify hospitalizations by congenital or acquired NGB
Multivariable analyses to identify factors associated with diversion types.
Among 312,486 NGB hospitalizations, 60% of the 1,523 undergoing major urinary diversion had incontinent surgeries.
Older age, male sex, and public health insurance were independently associated with incontinent diversions.
NGB etiology did not influence diversion type, and hospital characteristics did not differ by diversion type.
