OBJECTIVES: To analyze a variety of variables for DRG 427, non-depressive neuroses, in comparison to the control group to determine any trends or discrepancies.   METHODS: The data were taken from the Kids’ Inpatient Database (KID) from year 2007.  This database describes hospital inpatient stays for children.  To create a control group for comparison, a random sample of 8201 patients with DRG codes other than 427 was taken.  The control group combined with the experimental group, DRG code 427, gives a total of 16,402 entries to examine.  RESULTS: The diagnosis of non-depressive neuroses was found to be much more prevalent in females than males.   While the general inpatient group was only 47% female, the specific DRG group was 57% female.  Kernel density estimations revealed that the specific DRG group on average had shorter lengths of stay and lower total charges than the general inpatient group.  A logistic regression performed showed that patient demographics and severity levels are all significant in predicting whether a patient will be classified as general inpatient group or specific DRG group.  Linear regressions also showed that both the APRDRG and Disease Staging Resource Demand severity indices are significant in predicting a patient’s total charges and length of stay.  A linear regression using the top 10 diagnosis and procedure codes to predict length of stay showed that these variables predict very little of the variability. CONCLUSIONS: From the initial statistical analyses, it is evident that the experimental group had more females than males and on average showed shorter lengths of stay and charges than the control group.  Also, severity levels proved to be consistently significant in predicting the control, length of stay, and total charges while patient demographics and diagnosis and procedure codes were only significant in some models.
