PHAR Reports Frequency, Costs of Hospital Admissions During Which AL Amyloidosis is Diagnosed

PHAR investigators, in collaboration with Prothena Biosciences Inc., conducted a retrospective analysis of nationally representative hospital discharge data estimating the frequency and costs associated with hospitalizations during which systemic amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis was diagnosed. This is the first analysis to use an AL amyloidosis specific ICD-10 diagnosis code in a nationally representative database to provide data on hospital admissions for this disease.

Eunice Chang, PhD, Katalin Bognar, PhD, Marian Tarbox, MPP, and Michael S. Broder, MD, MSHS found that diagnostic admissions are more likely to be urgent/emergent, require longer stays, and have higher costs compared with hospitalizations in known AL amyloidosis patients. The manuscript describing their findings was published in the December 2022 issue of Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research and can be found on PHAR’s publications page.
