Abstract: Abstract Background Patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have high healthcare resource use (HRU) due to respiratory and nutritional complications resulting from progressive muscle atrophy. While previous studies estimate the direct costs to be US$113,000 to US$121,682 per year in the US, they potentially understate costs for type 1 SMA (SMA1). This study analyzed HRU in hospitalizations with a diagnosis of SMA1 and compared it with hospitalizations with complex chronic conditions (CCC) other than SMA1 or those with no CCC. Methods This retrospective analysis of a defined subset of the 2012 Kids’ Inpatient Database (KID) compared a nationally estimated number of hospitalizations of children (aged
