STATISTICAL BRIEF #202 |
March 2016
Kevin C. Heslin, Ph.D., and Anne Elixhauser, Ph.D. Introduction Young people are at increased risk for mental and substance use disorders (M/SUDs) because of a number of factors, including rapid physical and emotional changes, family history, home environment, and peer influences.1,2 In the United States, one in five young people between the ages of 13 and 18 years (21.4 percent) are currently experiencing or have had a seriously debilitating mental disorder at some point in the past.3 During 2012, 9.1 percent of young people between the ages of 12 and 17 years (about 2.2 million) experienced a major depressive episode—and among these, an estimated 34.0 percent (753,000) also used illicit drugs.4 Further, epidemiologic surveys of adults suggest that substance use among young people frequently continues and worsens into adulthood. For example, the prevalence of alcohol use disorders is consistently higher among adults who initiated use by age 14 years than among those who first used at age 18 years or older.5 Thus, effective prevention, treatment, and recovery support services targeting young people with M/SUDs represent a critical opportunity not only to improve functioning and well-being in the short term but also to affect the life course trajectories of emerging adults. The delivery and financing of M/SUD care for young people have undergone tremendous changes in the past 30 years in the United States. The evidence base for pharmacologic and psychosocial treatments of M/SUDs has improved.6 Medicaid expansions and the State Children's Health Insurance Program have increased the number of youths eligible for public insurance that covers M/SUD services, and State and Federal mental health parity laws have led to more comprehensive coverage of M/SUDs in private insurance plans.7 The Affordable Care Act defines services for M/SUDs as essential health benefits that must be included in plans offered through State health exchanges.8 Hospital admissions and lengths of stay for M/SUDs have decreased, in part because of treatment by primary care clinicians and the use of managed behavioral healthcare arrangements. Although many M/SUDs are addressed effectively in ambulatory care and other community settings, hospitalization remains a key component of the continuum of care for youths with M/SUDs, particularly those who require crisis care.7 This Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Statistical Brief presents results from the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) on hospital stays among teenagers (i.e., patients aged 13 to 19 years, inclusive), including M/SUD diagnoses in 2012. Rates of mental disorder (MD) and substance use disorder (SUD) diagnoses first are estimated for each of the top 10 major diagnostic categories among all hospital stays. Characteristics of stays including M/SUDs are then described and compared with all other types of stays. Separate estimates are provided for stays including the following:
Findings MD and SUD diagnoses among the top 10 reasons for hospital stays among teenagers, 2012 Table 1 presents the number and percentage of all stays among teenagers for the top 10 major diagnostic categories. Within each category, the percentage of stays including any MD diagnosis and any SUD diagnosis are reported. |

The estimates in this Statistical Brief are based upon data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) 2012 Kids' Inpatient Database (KID). Many hypothesis tests were conducted for this Statistical Brief. Thus, to decrease the number of false-positive results, we reduced the significance level to .01 for individual tests. Definitions Diagnoses, ICD-9-CM, Clinical Classifications Software (CCS), and major diagnostic categories (MDCs) The principal diagnosis is that condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for the patient's admission to the hospital. Secondary diagnoses are concomitant conditions that coexist at the time of admission or develop during the stay. All-listed diagnoses include the principal diagnosis plus these additional secondary conditions. In this Statistical Brief, a discharge is demarcated as including a mental or substance use disorder diagnosis if a relevant ICD-9-CM code appeared either as a principal or secondary diagnosis or as any external cause for injury or poisoning ("E code") on the patient's record. ICD-9-CM is the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification, which assigns numeric codes to diagnoses. There are approximately 14,000 ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes. CCS categorizes ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes into a manageable number of clinically meaningful categories.9 This clinical grouper makes it easier to quickly understand patterns of diagnoses. CCS categories identified as Other typically are not reported; these categories include miscellaneous, otherwise unclassifiable diagnoses that may be difficult to interpret as a group. MDCs assign ICD-9-CM principal diagnosis codes to one of 25 general diagnosis categories. Case definition for substance use disorder conditions The ICD-9-CM codes defining substance use disorders are listed in Table 4. |

Although dementia (CCS=653) and intellectual disability/developmental disorders (CCS=654) are listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, these diagnoses, which frequently are characterized by the development of multiple cognitive impairments related to medical conditions, often require more medical than psychiatric treatment and thus were excluded from the analysis.
Types of hospitals included in the HCUP Kids' Inpatient Database The Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) is based on data from community hospitals, which are defined as short-term, non-Federal, general, and other hospitals, excluding hospital units of other institutions (e.g., prisons). The KID includes obstetrics and gynecology, otolaryngology, orthopedic, cancer, pediatric, public, and academic medical hospitals. Excluded are long-term care facilities such as rehabilitation, psychiatric, and alcoholism and chemical dependency hospitals. However, if a patient received long-term care, rehabilitation, or treatment for a psychiatric or chemical dependency condition in a community hospital, the discharge record for that stay will be included in the KID. Case definition Hospital discharge and ambulatory surgery visit records with mastectomy procedures were defined based on all-listed procedure codes as identified using the ICD-9-CM and CPT procedure codes in Table 3. Unit of analysis The unit of analysis is the hospital discharge (i.e., the hospital stay), not a person or patient. This means that a person who is admitted to the hospital multiple times in 1 year will be counted each time as a separate discharge from the hospital. Costs and Charges Total hospital charges were converted to costs using HCUP Cost-to-Charge Ratios based on hospital accounting reports from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).10 Costs reflect the actual expenses incurred in the production of hospital services, such as wages, supplies, and utility costs; charges represent the amount a hospital billed for the case. For each hospital, a hospital-wide cost-to-charge ratio is used. Hospital charges reflect the amount the hospital billed for the entire hospital stay and do not include professional (physician) fees. For the purposes of this Statistical Brief, costs are reported to the nearest hundred. How HCUP estimates of costs differ from National Health Expenditure Accounts There are a number of differences between the costs cited in this Statistical Brief and spending as measured in the National Health Expenditure Accounts (NHEA), which are produced annually by CMS.11 The largest source of difference comes from the HCUP coverage of inpatient treatment only in contrast to the NHEA inclusion of outpatient costs associated with emergency departments and other hospital-based outpatient clinics and departments as well. The outpatient portion of hospitals' activities has been growing steadily and may exceed half of all hospital revenue in recent years. On the basis of the American Hospital Association Annual Survey, 2012 outpatient gross revenues (or charges) were about 44 percent of total hospital gross revenues.12 Smaller sources of differences come from the inclusion in the NHEA of hospitals that are excluded from HCUP. These include Federal hospitals (Department of Defense, Veterans Administration, Indian Health Services, and Department of Justice [prison] hospitals) as well as psychiatric, substance abuse, and long-term care hospitals. A third source of difference lies in the HCUP reliance on billed charges from hospitals to payers, adjusted to provide estimates of costs using hospital-wide cost-to-charge ratios, in contrast to the NHEA measurement of spending or revenue. HCUP costs estimate the amount of money required to produce hospital services, including expenses for wages, salaries, and benefits paid to staff as well as utilities, maintenance, and other similar expenses required to run a hospital. NHEA spending or revenue measures the amount of income received by the hospital for treatment and other services provided, including payments by insurers, patients, or government programs. The difference between revenues and costs include profit for for-profit hospitals or surpluses for nonprofit hospitals. Payer Payer is the expected payer for the hospital stay. To make coding uniform across all HCUP data sources, payer combines detailed categories into general groups:
When more than one payer is listed for a hospital discharge, the first-listed payer is used. For the purposes of this Statistical Brief, Medicare and Medicaid coverage were combined into a public coverage category. About HCUP The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP, pronounced "H-Cup") is a family of healthcare databases and related software tools and products developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership and sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). HCUP databases bring together the data collection efforts of State data organizations, hospital associations, private data organizations (HCUP Partners), and the Federal government to create a national information resource of encounter-level healthcare data. HCUP includes the largest collection of longitudinal hospital care data in the United States, with all-payer, encounter-level information beginning in 1988. These databases enable research on a broad range of health policy issues, including cost and quality of health services, medical practice patterns, access to healthcare programs, and outcomes of treatments at the national, State, and local market levels. HCUP would not be possible without the contributions of the following data collection Partners from across the United States: Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association Arizona Department of Health Services Arkansas Department of Health California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development Colorado Hospital Association Connecticut Hospital Association District of Columbia Hospital Association Florida Agency for Health Care Administration Georgia Hospital Association Hawaii Health Information Corporation Illinois Department of Public Health Indiana Hospital Association Iowa Hospital Association Kansas Hospital Association Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals Maine Health Data Organization Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission Massachusetts Center for Health Information and Analysis Michigan Health & Hospital Association Minnesota Hospital Association Mississippi Department of Health Missouri Hospital Industry Data Institute Montana MHA - An Association of Montana Health Care Providers Nebraska Hospital Association Nevada Department of Health and Human Services New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services New Jersey Department of Health New Mexico Department of Health New York State Department of Health North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services North Dakota (data provided by the Minnesota Hospital Association) Ohio Hospital Association Oklahoma State Department of Health Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems Oregon Office of Health Analytics Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council Rhode Island Department of Health South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations Tennessee Hospital Association Texas Department of State Health Services Utah Department of Health Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems Virginia Health Information Washington State Department of Health West Virginia Health Care Authority Wisconsin Department of Health Services Wyoming Hospital Association About Statistical Briefs HCUP Statistical Briefs are descriptive summary reports presenting statistics on hospital inpatient and emergency department use and costs, quality of care, access to care, medical conditions, procedures, patient populations, and other topics. The reports use HCUP administrative healthcare data. About the KID The HCUP Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) is a nationwide database of hospital inpatient stays. The KID is the only dataset on hospital use, outcomes, and charges designed to study children's use of hospital services in the United States. The KID is a sample of discharges from all community, nonrehabilitation hospitals in States participating in HCUP. Pediatric discharges are defined as all discharges where the patient was aged 20 years or younger at admission. [For the 1997 KID, hospital discharges for patients aged 18 years or younger were included in the database.] The KID's large sample size enables analyses of rare conditions (such as congenital anomalies) and uncommon treatments (such as organ transplantation). It can be used to study a wide range of topics including the economic burden of pediatric conditions, access to services, quality of care and patient safety, and the impact of health policy changes. The KID is produced every 3 years; prior databases are available for 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2012. Over time, the sampling frame for the KID has changed; thus, the number of States contributing to the KID varies from year to year. The KID is intended for national estimates only; no State-level estimates can be produced. For More Information For more information about HCUP, visit http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/.
