Hospital Admission Due to Hypotension in Australia and in England and Wales
Objectives: Hypotension is overlooked because it is often harmless, easily reversed, and can have few or even no symptoms. However, complications of untreated hypotension are dangerous and can result in death. The aim of this study was to examine the trend of hospital admission due to hypotension in...

description | Objectives: Hypotension is overlooked because it is often harmless, easily reversed, and can have few or even no symptoms. However, complications of untreated hypotension are dangerous and can result in death. The aim of this study was to examine the trend of hospital admission due to hypotension in Australia and in England and Wales between 1999 and 2020. Method: This was a secular trend analysis study that examined the hospitalisation pattern for hypotension in Australia, England, and Wales between 1999 and 2020. Hospitalisation data were obtained from the National Hospital Morbidity Database in Australia, Hospital Episode Statistics database in England, and Patient Episode Database for Wales. We analysed the variation in hospitalisation rates using the Pearson chi-square test for independence. Results: Our study showed that hypotension hospital admission rates increased significantly between 1999 and 2020 by 168%, 398%, and 149% in Australia, England, and Wales, respectively. The most common hypotension hospital admissions reason was orthostatic hypotension. All types of hypotension-related hospital admissions in Australia, England, and Wales were directly related to age, more common among the age group 75 years and above. Bed-days hypotension hospital admission patients accounted for 84.6%, 99.5%, and 99.7% of the total number of hypotension hospital admissions in Australia, England, and Wales. Conclusion: In the past two decades, orthostatic hypotension was the most prevalent type of hypotension that required hospitalization in Australia, England, and Wales. Age was identified as the primary risk factor for hypotension across all causes. Future research should focus on identifying modifiable risk factors for hypotension and developing strategies to reduce the burden of orthostatic hypotension. |
