INTRODUCTION: @entity295 continues to be a significant burden on society. METHODS: Using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes, we analyzed the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample in order to estimate epidemiologic trends of @entity295 from the years 2008 to 2012. The 2010 US Census, which included 308745538 individuals, was used to calculate incidence per 100000 @entity1 . RESULTS: There were a total of 6067789 discharges for @entity295 . The annual incidence increased from 346/100000 to 436/100000 @entity1 (P < .05). Individuals with 3 or greater organ system failures increased from 31.6% to 35.5% (P < .05), and they accounted for 57.2% to 66.7% of the total number of @entity204 . Overall mortality decreased from 22.2% to 17.3% (P < .05). Length of stay decreased from 9 to 7 days (P < .05). Those discharged to home with and without home-health increased (23%-27%; P < .05), but those discharged to skilled nursing facilities remained the same (35%). CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of @entity295 continues to increase, whereas mortality decreases. However, one third of @entity1 (those with >= 3 organ system failures) account for two thirds of the total number of @entity204 . More @entity1 are discharged home, whereas stable numbers go to facilities.
