Abstract Background Acute pancreatitis, a prevalent gastrointestinal condition, frequently necessitates hospitalization and is associated with potential adverse in-hospital outcomes. Recent data showed the detrimental effects of COVID-19 infection on acute pancreatitis, particularly in patients with severe COVID-19 infections. However, limited information exists on the specific impacts of COVID-19 infection in patients hospitalized for acute pancreatitis. Methods We analyzed the 2020 U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to investigate the effects of COVID-19 infection on cases primarily admitted due to acute pancreatitis. Participants aged 18 and above were identified using relevant ICD-10 CM codes. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for specified outcomes were calculated through multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality, with secondary outcomes including system-based complications. Statistical significance was established at a P value of 0.05. Results We identified 252,435 patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. The mean age was 50.1 years; 48.6% were female. Caucasians accounted for 41%, followed by Hispanics. Of these, 1.05% (2,675/252,435) had a concurrent diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. In a survey multivariable logistic and linear regression model adjusting for patient and hospital factors, COVID-19 infection was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (aOR 3.71; 95% CI 2.01, 6.84, P < 0.001), prolonged length of stay (β LOS 1.05; 95% CI 0.46, 1.64, P < 0.001), increased hospitalization charge ( β charge 9,327; 95% CI 820, 17834, P < 0.001), and acute respiratory failure (aOR 2.49; 95% CI 1.75, 3.53, P < 0.001), We observed non-significant, but increased, risks of shock, acute kidney injury (AKI), pancreatic pseudocyst, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 positive patients. Conclusion In conclusion, our study underscores that COVID-19 infection is associated with higher in-hospital mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and increased incidence of acute respiratory failure in patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to comprehensively assess the long-term health sequelae in this population. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

81 Background: Recent data suggest an association between cardiovascular disease burden and biliary cancer patients. However, the outcomes of hospitalized patients for biliary-pancreatic malignancy with concurrent acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) are not well understood. Therefore, our objective is to assess the impact of ADHF on patients hospitalized for biliary-pancreatic malignancy. Methods: We used the 2020 U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to study patients hospitalized for biliary tract and pancreatic malignancy with concurrent acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) identified by ICD-10 CM codes. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for predefined outcomes were determined via multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses. The primary outcome examined was inpatient mortality, while secondary outcomes included complications related to various body systems. Results: We identified 43,009 patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of biliary tract and pancreatic cancer. The mean age was 68.5 years; 49.4% were female. Caucasians accounted for 68%, followed by Hispanics (13%). Of these, 6.27% (3,699/43,009) had a concurrent diagnosis of heart failure. In the survey's multivariable logistic and linear regression analysis, accounting for patient and hospital confounding factors, ADHF demonstrated significant associations with higher in-hospital mortality (aOR 1.63; 95% CI 1.09, 2.44, p = 0.015). In addition, a significant association between ADHF and various adverse in-hospital outcome was observed including prolonged mean length of stay (Beta 1.45; 95% CI 0.67, 2.24, p < 0.001), increased mean total hospital cost (Beta 3,757; 95% CI: 2,641, 36,630, p = 0.024), elevated risk of shock (aOR 2.75; 95% CI: 1.77, 4.26, p < 0.001), higher risk of sepsis (aOR 1.71, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.68, p = 0.018), increased risk of acute respiratory failure (aOR 3.18, 95% CI: 2.25, 4.51, p < 0.001), and heightened risk of acute kidney injury (aOR 1.57; 95% CI: 1.24, 1.99, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Among patients hospitalized for biliary-pancreatic malignancy, concurrent ADHF is linked to increased mortality risk and various in-hospital adverse complications. Additional long-term studies are required for a comprehensive understanding of this association.

80 Background: Disparities in health outcomes exist among racial and ethnic groups in the United States, notably in patients with colon cancer. Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer morbidity and mortality. However, data on the metastasis risks and clinical outcomes on hospitalized individuals with colon cancer is still limited. Therefore, we aim to assess the association between metastatic colon cancer and racial differences. Methods: We analyzed the 2020 U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to explore patients who have colon cancer as the primary diagnosis. Additionally, we identified evidence of metastasis, as recorded by ICD-10-CM. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for specified outcomes were calculated through multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses. The primary outcome was racial differences in organ metastasis and secondary outcomes included mortality and length of stay. Statistical significance was established at p-value of 0.05. Results: We identified 80,130 patients with primary diagnosis of colon cancer at discharge. The mean age was 67.4 years; 49.7% were female. Caucasians accounted for 69.3%, with African Americans at 13.3% and Hispanics at 8.2%. 15% of the patients had liver metastasis, whereas 22% had lung metastasis. In a multivariate analysis adjusting for patient, COVID-19, chemotherapy usage and hospital factors, African Americans had higher risk of lung metastasis (aOR 1.22; 95%CI (1.07, 1.40), p = 0.003), higher risk of liver metastasis (aOR 1.51; 95%CI (1.31, 1.74), p = 0.021) and longer length of stay (b = 0.95; 95%CI (0.56, 1.33), p = 0.001). Hispanics also had higher risk of lung (aOR 1.22, p < 0.05) and liver metastasis (aOR 1.24, p = 0.021). We observed an increase in risk of metastasis and mortality but non-statistically significant in some parameters and races, as shown in table provided. Conclusions: In conclusion, our study revealed that racial difference is associated with higher risk of metastasis, as well as other outcomes. To establish a causal relationship between races, metastasis, and mortality in patients with colon cancer, further longitudinal research is necessary. [Table: see text]

182 Background: Recent data showed the detrimental effects of COVID-19 infection on various conditions, resulting in a wide range of health disparities and worsening outcomes, as well as an increased burden of cost. However, limited information exists on the impacts of COVID-19 infection on the most commonly admitted with primary cancer, regarding clinical and economic impact. Methods: We analyzed the 2020 U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to investigate the effects of COVID-19 infection on cases primarily admitted with the most common admitted with primary cancer, using relevant ICD-10 CM codes. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for specified outcomes were calculated through multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality, with secondary outcomes including the cost of hospitalization and length of stay. Statistical significance was established at a p-value of 0.05. Results: We estimated 919,104 hospitalizations with a primary discharge diagnosis of cancer conditions. Of these, 0.54% (4,985/919,104) had a concurrent diagnosis of COVID-19 infection and 46.1% were female. The mean age was 63.6 years old and Caucasians dominated the majority of the records (69.7%), followed by Hispanics (13.1%). In a multivariable logistic and linear regression model adjusting for patient and hospital factors, COVID-19 infection was associated with higher in-hospital mortality for all cancer conditions and other outcome. The txable denotes all-type and subpopulation analysis. Conclusions: In conclusion, our study encompasses all most common admitted primary cancer conditions and shed light how COVID-19 infection is associated with higher in-hospital mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and increased economic burden in various condition. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to comprehensively assess the long-term health sequelae in this population. [Table: see text]

16 Background: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in females worldwide. Recent data showed the detrimental effects of COVID-19 infection on other neoplasm conditions, causing increased mortality rates and complications. However, limited information exists on the specific impacts of COVID-19 infection in patients hospitalized for breast cancer, as well as racial impact differences. Methods: We analyzed the 2020 U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to investigate the effects of COVID-19 infection on cases primarily admitted due to breast cancers. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for specified outcomes were calculated through multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality, with secondary outcomes including system-based complications. Statistical significance was established at a p-value of 0.05. Results: We identified 25,559 patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of breast cancer. The mean age was 59.7 years; 99.28% were female. In the non-COVID group, Caucasians accounted for 60%, followed by African Americans (19%). However, in the COVID-19 group, African Americans predominated with 41%, followed by Caucasian (35%) (p-value = 0.05). Of these, 0.52% (85/25,559) had a concurrent diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. In a survey multivariable logistic and linear regression model adjusting for patient and hospital factors, COVID-19 infection was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (aOR 6.07; 95% CI (1.26, 29.13), p = 0.024), higher mean length of stay(b 5.22; 95% CI (2.08,8.36) p =0.001), acute respiratory failure (aOR 4.88; 95% CI (1.51, 15.77), p = 0.008), coagulopathy (aOR 8.38; 95% CI (2.19, 32.02), p=0.002) and SIRS (aOR 6.38; 95% CI (1.25, 32.50), p = 0.026). We observed non-significant, but increased, risks of acute kidney injury (AKI), shock, and sepsis, as well as total hospitalization costs in COVID-19-positive patients. Conclusions: In conclusion, our study underscores that COVID-19 infection is associated with higher in-hospital mortality and other clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients, as well as, a disproportionated impact against some races. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to comprehensively assess the causation of these clinical outcomes in this population.

124 Background: Literature review has found profound disparities in clinical outcomes, for patient with ovarian cancer. Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer morbidity and mortality. However, data on the metastasis risks on hospitalized individuals with ovarian cancer is still limited. Therefore, we aim to assess the association between metastatic ovarian cancer and racial differences using large database analysis. Methods: We analyzed the 2020 U.S. National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to explore patients who have ovarian cancer as the primary diagnosis. Additionally, we identified evidence of metastasis, as recorded by ICD-10-CM. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for specified outcomes were calculated through multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses. The primary outcome was racial differences in organ metastasis and secondary outcomes included mortality and length of stay. Statistical significance was established at p-value of 0.05. Results: We identified 19,789 patients with primary diagnosis of ovarian cancer at discharge. The mean age was 61.6 years. Caucasians accounted for 68.3%, with Hispanics at 11.1 % and African Americans at 9.7%. We found that 7% of the patients had liver metastasis. In a multivariate analysis adjusting for patient, COVID-19, chemotherapy usage and hospital factors, African Americans and Hispanics had higher risk of liver metastasis (aOR 1.95; 95%CI (1.32, 2.88), p = 0.001) (aOR 1.78; 95%CI (1.19, 2.66), p = 0.004). We also observed reduced length of stay for Asian Americans (b = -0.74; 95%CI (-1.31, -0.17), p = 0.011). We observed an increase in risk of metastasis and mortality but non-statistically significant in some parameters and races, as shown in table provided. Conclusions: In conclusion, our study revealed that racial difference is associated with higher risk of metastasis, as well as other outcomes. More studies following patients over time are needed to determine if race directly affects how ovarian cancer spreads and other clinical outcomes. [Table: see text]
