Shah Z, et al. - Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, researchers examined the outcomes of a large diverse, multicentric, nationwide cohort of patients hospitalized with myocarditis. Overall, they analyzed 27,129 hospitalizations, registered from years 2007 through 2014, including adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) with the primary discharge diagnosis of myocarditis. They excluded the patients who received the diagnosis of myocardial infarction or coronary syndromes (including unstable angina) during the same hospitalization. Throughout the duration of the study, an increase in myocarditis-related hospitalizations was reported. Those most impacted by myocarditis-related hospitalizations were young and had no significant co-morbidities. The risk of myocarditis-related complications and in-hospital mortality was high in females.
