In the inpatient setting, prevalence, predictors, and outcomes [mortality risk (MR), length of stay (LOS), and total charges (TC)] of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are largely unknown. We used data on older adults (60+ y) from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2002-2012. AD prevalence was ∼3.12% in 2012 (total weighted discharges with AD ± standard error: 474, 410 ± 6,276). Co-morbidities prevailing more in AD inpatient admissions included depression (OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.63-1.71, p &lt;  0.001), fluid/electrolyte disorders (OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.22-1.27, p &lt;  0.001), weight loss (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.22-1.30, p &lt;  0.001), and psychosis (OR = 2.59, 95% CI: 2.47-2.71, p &lt;  0.001), with mean total co-morbidities increasing over time. AD was linked to higher MR and longer LOS, but lower TC. TC rose in AD, while MR and LOS dropped markedly over time. In AD, co-morbidities predicting simultaneously higher MR, TC, and LOS (2012) included congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, coagulopathy, fluid/electrolyte disorders, metastatic cancer, paralysis, pulmonary circulatory disorders, and weight loss. In sum, co-morbidities and TC increased over time in AD, while MR and LOS dropped. Few co-morbidities predicted occurrence of AD or adverse outcomes in AD.
