Abstract

Little is known about the impact of depression across a broad range of multimorbid patients hospitalized for reasons other than depression. The objective of the study was to investigate in a large sample of multimorbid inpatients whether ancillary depression is associated with increased length of stay (LOS) and readmissions, two important clinical outcomes with implications for healthcare utilization and costs.

METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 253,009 multimorbid inpatients aged ≥18 at an academic medical center, 8/20
