OBJECTIVE: To investigate the nationwide prevalence and incidence of serious @entity281 among @entity1 with @entity1252 ( @entity1252 ) enrolled in Medicaid, the U.S. health insurance program for @entity258 @entity1 . METHODS: From Medicaid claims (2000-2006) we identified @entity1 5 to <18 years old with @entity1252 (>= 3 ICD-9 codes of 710.0, each >30 days apart) and @entity1988 (LN; >= 2 ICD-9 codes for @entity8 on/after @entity1252 codes). From hospital discharge diagnoses, we identified @entity281 subtypes (bacterial, fungal, viral). We calculated incidence rates (IR) per 100 @entity1 -years (PY), mortality rates, and hazard ratios adjusted for sociodemographic factors, medications, and preventive care. RESULTS: Among 3,500 @entity1 with @entity1252 identified, 1,053 serious @entity281 occurred over 10,108 @entity1 -years; the IR was 10.42/100 PY (95% CI 9.80, 11.07) among all those with @entity1252 and 17.65/100 PY (95% CI 16.29, 19.09) among those with LN. @entity2348 were most common (87%; of which 39% were @entity2028 ). In adjusted models, African Americans and Native Americans had higher rates of @entity281 compared with white @entity1 , and those with comorbidities or receiving @entity288 had higher @entity281 rates than those without. Males had lower rates of serious @entity281 compared to females. The 30-day post-discharge mortality rate was 4.4%. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, hospitalized @entity281 were very common in @entity1 with @entity1252 , with @entity2028 being the most common @entity281 . @entity281 risks were among African and Native American @entity1 , those with LN, comorbidities, and those taking @entity288 .
