Rationale: Aspiration pneumonia is a subset of pneumonias prevalent in elderly patients and patients with neurologic disorders. Researchers in previous studies mostly reported incidence and/or mortality rates based on regional data or in specific subgroups of patients. There is a paucity of nationwide data in the contemporary U.S. population.Objectives: To describe U.S. national trends in acute care hospital admission for aspiration pneumonia from 2002 to 2012.Methods: We used the U.S. National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample database to identify patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia between 2002 and 2012. We estimated trends in the incidence, in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and total hospitalization cost for patients admitted for aspiration pneumonia and stratified on the basis of patient age (>= 65 yr vs. = 65 yr, from $16,173 to $30,280; age
