Despite its potential impact, there is a lack of comprehensive information on the nationwide burden of disease. To better define the burden of cysticercosis in the United States, we analyzed in-patient records using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample for 1998\u20132011 to estimate cysticercosis-related hospitalizations and patient\/institutional characteristics. There were an estimated 33,060 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 29,610.5\u201336,510.3) cysticercosis-related hospitalizations nationwide, representing a hospitalization rate of 8.03 per million population. The highest proportion of cases were male (54.8%), Hispanic (62.0%), aged 18\u201344 (58.8%), and occurred in the West (45.1%). An estimated 459 deaths occurred, representing an in-hospital case-fatality rate of 1.4%. These findings indicate the burden of cysticercosis-related hospitalizations in the United States is considerable and may be greater than currently appreciated. Cysticercosis should be a nationally reportable disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.14-0506","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,11]],"date-time":"2014-11-11T03:53:57Z","timestamp":1415678037000},"page":"354-359","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Cysticercosis-Related Hospitalizations in the United States, 1998\u20132011"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"Kaitlin A.","family":"O'Keefe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark L.","family":"Eberhard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shira C.","family":"Shafir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Wilkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lawrence R.","family":"Ash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank J.","family":"Sorvillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Lancet","first-page":"547","article-title":"Taenia solium cysticercosis","volume":"362","author":"Garc\u00eda","year":"2003"},{"key":"R2","series-title":"Neurology","first-page":"1559","article-title":"Neurocysticercosis in the United States: review of an important emerging infection","volume":"63","author":"Wallin","year":"2004"},{"key":"R3","series-title":"Craig and Faust's Clinical Parasitology","author":"Faust","year":"1970"},{"key":"R4","series-title":"Parasites in Human Tissues","first-page":"304","author":"Ash","year":"1995"},{"key":"R5","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"1","article-title":"Public health implications of cysticercosis acquired in the United States","volume":"17","author":"Sorvillo","year":"2011"},{"key":"R6","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"465","article-title":"Cysticercosis-related deaths, California","volume":"10","author":"Sorvillo","year":"2004"},{"key":"R7","series-title":"N Engl J Med","first-page":"692","article-title":"Neurocysticercosis in an Orthodox Jewish community in New York City","volume":"327","author":"Schantz","year":"1992"},{"key":"R8","series-title":"JAMA","first-page":"3444","article-title":"Cysticercosis in Los Angeles County","volume":"254","author":"Richards","year":"1985"},{"key":"R9","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"766","article-title":"Epidemiology of neurocysticercosis in Houston, Texas","volume":"73","author":"del la Garza","year":"2005"},{"key":"R10","series-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)","first-page":"81","article-title":"Neurocysticercosis in Houston, Texas: an update","volume":"90","author":"Serpa","year":"2011"},{"key":"R11","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"365","article-title":"Cysticercosis surveillance: locally acquired and travel-related infections and detection of intestinal tapeworm carriers in Los Angeles County","volume":"47","author":"Sorvillo","year":"1992"},{"key":"R12","series-title":"PLoS Negl Trop Dis","first-page":"e1480","article-title":"The impact of neurocysticercosis in California: a review of hospitalized cases","volume":"6","author":"Croker","year":"2012"},{"key":"R13","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"508","article-title":"Neurocysticercosis in Oregon, 1995\u20132000","volume":"10","author":"Townes","year":"2004"},{"key":"R14","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"1030","article-title":"Taenia solium tapeworm infection, Oregon, 2006\u20132009","volume":"17","author":"O'Neal","year":"2011"},{"key":"R15","series-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)","first-page":"37","article-title":"Neurocysticercosis in Houston, Texas.
