Description
Summary:•Acute myocarditis incidence estimated at 0.8 per 100,000 children between 2007 to 2016.•Incidence of acute myocarditis amongst pediatric hospitalizations is increasing.•A decline in in-hospital mortality for acute myocarditis hospitalizations is noted.•Related hospital length of stay remained steady while adjusted costs have increased. There has been little exploration of acute myocarditis trends in children despite notable advancements in care over the past decade. We explored trends in pediatric hospitalizations for acute myocarditis from 2007 to 2016 in the United States (US). This was a retrospective, serial cross-sectional study of the National Inpatient Sample database from 2007 to 2016, identifying patients ≤18 years hospitalized with acute myocarditis. Patient demographics and incidence trends were examined. Other relevant clinical and resource utilization outcomes were also explored. Out of 60,390,000 weighted pediatric hospitalizations, 6371 were related to myocarditis. The incidence of myocarditis increased from 0.7 to 0.9 per 100,000 children (p
