OBJECTIVES: Few population-based studies have evaluated pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) in North America. We assessed the incidence of PLA and evaluated predictors of mortality.METHODS: We used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample to identify all patients with discharges for PLA (ICD-9 572.0) between 1994 and 2005. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether mortality was associated with patient and hospital characteristics including comorbidities, interventions, and bacterial cultures. We determined the annual incidence for PLA in the US population and assessed for temporal changes using generalized linear regression models.RESULTS: We identified 17,787 PLA discharges for an overall incidence of PLA of 3.6 (95% confidence interval (CI): 3.5-3.7) per 100,000 population. From 1994 to 2005, the annual average percent increase in incidence was 4.1% ( 95% CI: 3.4-4.8; P
