Trends in HIV-Related Inpatient Admissions from 1993 to 1997: A Seven-State Study [Fleishman JA. JAIDS 2001;28:73] The authors analyzed longitudinal data for hospitalizations for HIV-related admissions according to ICD-9 codes for seven states from 1993 to 1995. Medicaid was the primary payer, accounting for 54%; private coverage accounted for 21%, and Medicare for 15% of admissions. The seven state total was 51,110 in the first half of 1993 compared to 34,433 for the second half of 1997. Length of stay decreased by one day for each year, from approximately 14 days in 1993 to 9.5 days in 1997.
