1134-P: Length of Stay in Hospitalized Patients with Diabetes

Introduction and Objective: Hospitalized people with diabetes (PWD) have been found to have a longer length of stay (LOS). We intend to determine if non-critically ill PWD have a greater LOS compared to those without diabetes. The secondary goal is to assess potential differences in LOS based on specific comorbidities that have been identified by CMS in their readmission reduction program (CMS.gov). Methods: Adults admitted to non-ICU units from 6/2022 to 10/2024 were divided based on diabetes status using ICD-10 codes. Data from patients with the six conditions which CMS monitors for readmission were collected (as shown in table). Data analysis involved Independent t-Test in SPSS25. Results: About 35% of hospitalized patients had diabetes and they had a statistically significant greater LOS. 11% of PWD had comorbidities which CMS monitors for readmission. Patients who had a CABG had the longest average LOS but the difference in LOS between diabetes and non-diabetes groups was not statistically significant. However, PWD with HF had statistically significant greater LOS compared to patients with HF without diabetes. Conclusion: Similar to previous studies, our study showed greater LOS in PWD. In sub-group analysis, the greater LOS observed in PWD was not significantly different in AMI, COPD, PN, CABG, or Hip/Knee groups but it was significant in HF. We intend to look at the potential correlation between the involvement of the diabetes team and LOS in next study. Disclosure N. Aung: None. A.D. D'Accurzio: None. M.E. Lape: None. H.E. Khine: None.
