IntroductionPrevious studies had provided evidence that vitamin D deficiency is a strong negative predictor for survival and recovery after severe vascular events but national estimate on disability related burden is not clear. HypothesisWe evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (VDD) amongst patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cerebrovascular disorders (CeVD) and to find out whether or not CVD and CeVD in the presence of VDD increases the disability. MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample data (years 2016-2017) in adults (≥18 years) hospitalizations. We identified patients with secondary diagnosis of VDD and primary diagnosis of CVD (AFib, CHF, IHD, acute MI, and angina) and CeVD (AIS, TIA, ICeH and SAH) using ICD-10-CM codes. We performed a chi-square test and multivariable survey logistic regression to analyze disability of patients with CVD and CeVD in presence of VDD. Disability/loss of function was investigated by APRDRGs severity using 3M Health Information Systems software. (Score 1-4 indicates minor to extreme loss of function) ResultsAmong 58,259,589 US hospitalizations, 3.44%, 2.15%, 0.06%, 1.28%, 11.49%, 1.71%, 0.38%, 0.23% and 0.08% had primary admission of IHD, acute MI, angina, AFib, CHF, AIS, TIA, ICeH and SAH, respectively and 1.82% had VDD. Prevalence of hospitalizations due to CHF (14.66% vs 11.43%), AIS (1.87% vs 1.71%) and TIA (0.4% vs 0.38%) was higher; and IHD (2.62% vs 3.45%), acute MI (1.58% vs 2.16), angina (0.05% vs 0.06%), AFib (1.14% vs 1.28%), ICeH (0.17% vs 0.23%) and SAH (0.05% vs 0.08%) was lower among VDD patients in compare to non-VDD.
