AORCs were defined using the standard International Classification of Diseases specified by the National Arthritis Data Workgroup. AORC conditions were defined by the presence of a diagnostic code anywhere on the corresponding record. To identify potential disparities in AORC burden, health care utilization was examined separately across 4 urban\/rural categories.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Rates of annual ED visits (34% increase), hospitalizations (22% increase) and mean charges (an approximate 30% to 70% increase) from visits involving AORCs increased significantly from 2007 to 2012. Annual rates of ED visits and hospitalizations involving AORCs were lower in urban metropolitan areas compared to other urban\/rural designations. AORC\u2010related mortality was highest in small rural communities. Disease profiles revealed that ED visits and hospitalizations involving gout and other crystal arthropathies increased disproportionately compared to other AORCs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The public health burden of AORCs increased significantly over the 6\u2010year period studied, posing a growing challenge for patients, families, and the public health system, and AORCs appear to disproportionately impact nonmetropolitan and other rural communities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.22856","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,11]],"date-time":"2016-02-11T09:15:27Z","timestamp":1455182127000},"page":"1417-1427","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Increasing Public Health Burden of Arthritis and Other Rheumatic Conditions and Comorbidity: Results From a Statewide Health Surveillance System, 2007\u20132012"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Guang\u2010Ming","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Nebraska Medical Center Omaha"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kaleb","family":"Michaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, and National Data Bank for Rheumatic Diseases Wichita Kansas"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Nebraska Medical Center Omaha"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinobu","family":"Watanabe\u2010Galloway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Nebraska Medical Center Omaha"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ted R.","family":"Mikuls","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Omaha Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of Nebraska Medical Center Omaha"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.23177"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.23176"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
