BACKGROUND: @entity1 with @entity3458 ( @entity3458 ) experience a broad range of @entity146 , placing them at risk for more complicated and longer hospitalizations for vaso-occlusive crises (VOC). The current study examined the frequency of @entity146 in @entity3458 @entity1 (ages birth to 20 years) admitted for VOC in a nationally representative sample and the association between @entity146 and hospital length of stay (LOS). PROCEDURE: @entity1 with a primary diagnosis of @entity3458 with crisis identified through the nationally representative Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) 2006 from the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality were included for analysis. @entity1 with @entity146 listed as secondary diagnoses were categorized under specific @entity146 ( @entity1316 , @entity148 , @entity952 , substance @entity734 ). Non-parametric and regression analyses were utilized for nationally weighted data, to determine the effect of @entity146 on LOS, while controlling for significant covariates. RESULTS: For 21,255 hospital discharges for @entity1 with @entity3458 with crisis in 2006, the mean LOS was 4.51 days. Approximately 6% of the @entity1 discharged had a @entity146 . After adjusting for significant covariates, @entity1316 , @entity148 , and any @entity146 were each associated with significantly longer LOS (P   <   0.01). Substance and @entity952 were not associated with LOS. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric @entity1 diagnosed with a @entity146 , specifically mood or @entity148 , have longer LOS for VOC. These findings suggest that future interventions aimed at managing VOC may need to consider adjunctive psychiatric assessment and intervention.
