LB769 A report of Basal Cell Carcinoma hospitalizations: An analysis from the national inpatient sample database

Abstract

There is a scarcity of national population studies on hospitalizations of Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) patients in the United States (U.S). This study aims to compare comorbidities of BCC to non-BCC hospitalizations and determine the most common reasons for BCC hospitalizations resulting in inpatient mortality. Data were obtained from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2016-2018 databases, which contained about 105 million hospitalizations. The NIS is the largest inpatient database in the U.S. We abstracted data for adult hospitalizations, with any diagnosis of BCC, using ICD-10 codes.
