The mean inpatient LOS per admission was higher in bipolar patients with BPD as compared to controls (6.62 days vs. 5.58 days, p < 0.001). The median LOS for all bipolar patients was four days. Bipolar patients with BPD had higher odds of longer hospitalization above the median four days LOS than controls (OR = 1.283; 95% CI 1.251–1.315; p < 0.001). The mean total charges were also higher in bipolar patients with BPD ($17,424 vs. $14,527, p < 0.001). The median total charges for the study population was $10,287. About 53.3% bipolar patients with BPD had higher odds of total charges greater than the median (OR = 1.239; 95% CI 1.1209–1.270; p < 0.001) as compared to 45.6% patients without BPD. The differences in inpatient outcomes are shown in Table 2.
