Abstract

Abstract Introduction Several comorbidities have been associated with the syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). However, not much literature documents an association between SIADH and obesity, and there is a marked paucity of research documenting the impact of obesity on outcomes in patients hospitalized with SIADH. Method We extracted data from the US Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) for 2019. The NIS contains hospital discharge information estimating yearly US hospitalizations. We included hospitalizations with a principal discharge diagnostic code for SIADH using the ICD-10-CM code (E22.2). The study excluded hospitalizations of patients less than 18 years. This cohort was divided based on the secondary diagnosis of obesity. Outcomes included comparing inpatient mortality rates, mean length of hospital stay (LOS), mean hospitalization cost (THC), rates of septic shock, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), acute respiratory failure (ARF), acute renal failure (AKI), acute pulmonary edema (PE) between the subgroups. An adjustment was made for age, sex, race, primary payer, median household income by zip code, Carlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), hospital location, bed-size, and teaching status using multivariate regression analysis. Statistical significance was set at a p-value < 0.05. Results In 2019, a total of 39,110 hospitalizations involved patients with SIADH as the reason for the admission and 7.7% of these admissions had comorbid obesity. A higher proportion of hospitalizations involved females, with more of the obese cohort being females (65.7 vs 61.4%, p=0.034). Patients with obesity comparatively had a lower mean age (67.9±13.1 vs 73±13.3 years, p<0.001), a higher proportion of CCI >2, and a higher proportion of Whites. In patients with SIADH, obesity was associated with no difference in mortality (1.1 vs 1.3%, p=0.589) or THC, but patients with obesity had higher odds of increased LOS (5.6 vs 4.9 days, p=0.007), AKI (20 vs 11.3%, aOR: 1.88, p<0.001), and ARF (11.2 vs 7%, aOR: 1.53, p=0.003). There was no significant difference in CVA, PE, septic shock or AMI odds. Conclusions Comorbid obesity was associated with higher LOS and odds of AKI and ARF, but there was no difference in mortality, THC, CVA, PE, septic shock or AMI compared to SIADH hospitalizations without obesity.
