The number of PAH-related hospitalizations per year decreased significantly from 2001 through 2012 (3177 vs 1345, P for trend <.001), while mean hospital charges increased 2.7-fold ($29,507 vs $79,607, P for trend <.001) and in-hospital mortality remained unchanged (7.8% vs 6.3%, P for trend = .54).

Overview

Declining PAH hospitalizations may reflect better outpatient care; leaves open questions on rising charges, comorbidities, and stable mortality for prospective study.
