21. Children With Medical Complexity and Mental and Behavioral Disorders in the Emergency Department

Author

Ramgopal, Sriram, Goodman, Denise M., Kan, Kristin, Smith, Tracie, and Foster, Carolyn C.

Abstract

To assess the overlap and admission or transfer rate of children with chronic complex conditions (CCC) and with mental or behavioral health (MBH) disorders among children presenting to the emergency department (ED).We performed a cross-sectional analysis from 2 data sources: hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) and from a statewide sample (Illinois COMPdata). We included ED encounters 2 to 21 years and compared differences in admission and/or transfer between subgroups. Among patients with both a CCC and MBH, we evaluated if a primary MBH diagnosis was associated with admission or transfer.There were 11 880 930 encounters in the PHIS dataset; 0.7% had an MBH and CCC, 2.2% had an MBH, and 8.0% had a CCC. Patients with an MBH and CCC had a greater need for admission or transfer (86.5%) compared with patients with an MBH alone (57.7%) or CCC alone (52.0%). Among 5 362 701 patients in the COMPdata set, 0.2% had an MBH and CCC, 2.1% had an MBH, and 3.2% had a CCC, with similar admission or transfer needs between groups (61.8% admission or transfer with CCC and MBH; 42.8% MBH alone, and 27.3% with CCC alone). Within both datasets, patients with both a MBH and CCC had a higher odds of admission or transfer when their primary diagnosis was an MBH disorder.While accounting for a small proportion of ED patients, CCC with concomitant MBH have a higher need for admission or transfer relative to other patients.

Abstract

Background: Reports of increasing risk for type 1 (T1) and type 2 diabetes mellitus in youth are emerging, but information on socioeconomically diverse populations is limited., Method: The Chicago Childhood Diabetes Registry is a city-wide study of patients 0-17 years old at onset. Incidence data came from medical records and interviews; census data provided denominators; analyses used Poisson regression. Non-type 1 (nT1) patients had a type 2-like clinical course or related indicators., Results: There were 1,366 incident cases: 719 in non-Hispanic Black (NHB), 379 in Hispanic, 229 in non-Hispanic White (NHW), and 39 in children of other ethnicities. Average annual incidence was 16.0 (95% CI: 14.6, 17.6)/10(5) for boys, 20.1 (18.3, 22.1)/10(5) for girls, and 18.1 (16.9, 19.3)/10(5) overall. Risk was 21.6 (19.6, 23.8)/10(5) for NHB, 14.6 (13.0, 16.4)/10(5) for Hispanic, and 18.1 (15.9, 20.6)/10(5) for NHW. Children aged 10-14 years experienced the highest incidence, irrespective of ethnicity. T1 was predominant in all ethnic groups, except NHB, where the rates of T1 and nT1 were similar. Over ten years there was a marked increase in all childhood diabetes in Chicago, averaging 2.73% (95% CI: 0.49, 5.02) per annum, adjusted for age. This increase was confined to nT1, with an average annual percent change of +6.23% (2.28, 10.34), while T1 incidence remained stable., Conclusions: Incidence of childhood diabetes increased between 1994-2003, driven primarily by nT1, suggesting a role for behavioral and/or environmental determinants of insulin resistance. These estimates are likely to be conservative, if nT1 cases were more apt to be missed.
