Time trends in hospitalizations with anxiolytic, sedative, or hypnotic drug use disorder: a 17-year U.S. national study.

An increasing inpatient mortality and non-home discharge rate for hospitalizations with ASH use disorder are concerning. The identification of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors associated with outcomes should allow prognostication and designing of interventions to improve outcomes.
