Prevalence, causes and outcomes of hospital admissions in Mongolia: a national registry-based descriptive analysis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: No systematic data on the prevalence of, reasons for, and outcomes of hospital admissions in Mongolia are currently available. Methods: In a descriptive analysis, the Mongolian National Hospital Data registry was screened for all hospital admissions in adults from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2023. The endpoints were the prevalence of and most common reasons for hospital admission, the length of hospital stay, and the hospital mortality rate. Descriptive methods, Chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney-U-tests, and ANOVA on ranks were used for data analysis. Findings: 3,449,083 cases were analysed. The median prevalence of hospital admissions per 100,000 population per year was 20,242 (IQR, 19,412-20,778). The most common main diagnoses were COVID-19 (8.7%; 299,409/3,449,083), chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis (6.7%; 230,244/3,449,083), chronic arterial hypertension (2.5%; 86,213/3,449,083), chronic ischaemic heart disease (2.3%; 80,071/3,449,083), nerve root/plexus disorders (2.3%; 79,341/3,449,083), hypertensive heart disease (2.1%; 73,597/3,449,083), and lower back pain (1.8%; 60,614/3,449,083). The median length of hospital stay was 7 days (IQR, 6-9) and the hospital mortality rate was 0.66% (22,683/3,449,083). Differences in all endpoints were found between female and male participants, the periods before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, regions of residence, seasons of admission, levels of admission hospitals, and public and private hospitals. Interpretation: During a five-year period including the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence of hospital admissions in Mongolian adults was high during the study period. An analysis of the most common diagnoses leading to hospital admission suggested that many diagnoses could be managed without hospital admission in outpatient or primary care settings.
