Abstract W P421: Trend in Concurrent Hospitalization for Moyamoya and Sickle Cell Disease: An Analysis of Nationwide Inpatient Sample Data

BACKGROUND: The association between Moyamoya disease and sickle cell disease is well recognized in the literature. However, there is limited data on inpatient admission of concurrent sickle cell disease and Moyamoya disease. We sought to determine the trend in incidence of admissions of concurrent Moyamoya and sickle cell disease as well as the most common presentation of these admissions. METHODS: We reviewed the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2000-2011 for concurrent Moyamoya and sickle cell admissions using the ICD 9-CM codes We obtained data on gender, clinical presentation, procedures, co-morbidities and patient outcomes RESULTS: From 2000 to 2011, an estimated patients 756 (weighted (n)=3692) with co-existing Moyamoya disease and sickle cell disease were admitted. The incidence of admission for concurrent disease increased significantly from 0.04/100,000 admissions in 2000 to 0.21/100,000 admissions in 2011(figure 1). This was very significa...
