Core Tip
Core Tip: Our study is a National Inpatient Sample -based study in which we aim to analyze hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) patients’ characteristics, temporal trends, and sociodemographic characteristics over the last decade, in addition to studying this disease as an independent risk factor for developing hepatocellular cancer (HCC) without the stage of liver cirrhosis. Our large and diverse sample of about 18000 HH hospitalizations showed an increasing trend of inpatient admissions and costs with a similar length of hospital stay over the last decade. It also showed HH as an independent risk factor for HCC with an aOR close to 29 on multivariate analysis. We believe this will open the door for further retrospective and prospective studies to address disease trends and the understudied and independent relationship between HH and HCC in a large patient cohort.
