Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Population-based studies on hospitalization and inpatient death patterns by incarceration status are limited.
  • Understanding healthcare utilization differences between incarcerated and non-incarcerated populations is essential for public health policy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare hospitalization and inpatient death patterns between incarcerated and non-incarcerated adults in the United States.
  • To identify specific hospital service lines driving these differences.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 2021 State Inpatient Database files from 31 US jurisdictions.
  • Inclusion of adults aged 18 to 64 years with general acute care hospital discharges.
  • Comparison using adjusted rate ratios (ARRs) and negative binomial regression, examining overall and service-line specific discharges.

Main Results:

  • Incarcerated adults (1.1% of 6.3 million discharges) had higher overall hospitalization rates (ARR=2.9) than non-incarcerated adults.
  • Higher rates of mental health/substance use (ARR=11.8) and injury (ARR=1.9) admissions were observed in incarcerated individuals.
  • Surgical (ARR=0.6) and medical (ARR=0.8) admissions were lower; inpatient mortality was also lower (ARR=0.4) among incarcerated adults.

Conclusions:

  • Incarcerated adults exhibit distinct healthcare utilization patterns, with increased admissions for mental health/substance use and injuries, but lower mortality.
  • A comprehensive view of healthcare use requires considering both hospitalization and mortality data.
  • Integrated correctional and hospital data systems are necessary to inform public health practices and policies effectively.
