| Core Tip |
We used national survey and claims databases to investigate prepandemic rates and trends in the United States gallstone disease burden. Gallstone disease prevalence (claims-based, 2019) ranged from 0.70% to 2.09% and rose over a decade. Gallstone disease contributed to approximately 2.2 million ambulatory care visits, 1.2 million emergency department visits, 625000 hospital discharges, and 2000 deaths annually. Medical care was higher among women, Hispanics, and older adults and lower among Blacks. Ambulatory care and emergency department visit rates with gallstone disease rose while hospital discharge and mortality rates declined. Cholecystectomies performed included 605000 ambulatory laparoscopic, 280000 inpatient laparoscopic, and 49000 inpatient open procedures annually. |
