Key PointsQuestionDo hospitalized patients with vision loss experience greater resource use and costs compared with hospitalized patients without vision loss? FindingsIn this study of 12 330 Medicare beneficiaries and 11 858 commercial health insurance enrollees with or without vision loss, severe vision loss was associated with longer mean length of stay, higher readmission rates, and higher costs during hospitalization and 90 days after discharge. MeaningThese results suggest that, by addressing vision-related issues, opportunities exist to reduce lengths of stay, readmission rates, resource use, and costs while enhancing outcomes and patient satisfaction.
