Summary: | Abstract Background To assess contemporary characteristics, hospital admissions, charges, and mortality in patients with prostate cancer (CaP) who have bone metastases and skeletal-related events in an observational study. Methods Relying on the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), patients with CaP with bone metastases between 1998 and 2010 were abstracted. Patients who experienced skeletal-related events were identified, and hospital charges were calculated. Generalized linear regression analyses focused on in-hospital mortality. Results Between 1998 and 2010, a weighted estimate of 443,929 CaP visits with bone metastases was recorded. Of these, 15.9% experienced at least 1 SRE. The rate of SRE decreased from 18% to 15.4% (1998–2010, estimated annual percent change [EAPC] =−1.44%, P = 0.005) and the SRE-associated mortality decreased from 8.5% to 4.7% (1998–2010, EAPC =−3.68%, P = 0.004). Nevertheless, the inflation-adjusted charges associated with hospital visits of patients with CaP with bone metastases rose by 92% to $1,512,449,106 (EAPC = +8.82%, P |
