Patients with dehydration had ICD-9-CM discharge diagnosis codes for dehydration, volume depletion, and\/or hypovolemia.

Hospitalizations for dehydration in patients over 65 years of age increased by nearly 80% after Sandy compared with 2008\u20132011 (RR: 1.79; 95% CI: 1.58, 2.02).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S193578931500169X_abs4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sandy was associated with a marked increase in hospitalizations for dehydration.
