The population based rate of hospitalizations for diabetes-related causes for African Americans is significantly higher (31.7 per 1,000) than it is for Whites (18.4 per 1,000).
While the average length of stay was nearly the same, the average hospital charges for African Americans was $20,925 compared to $15,380 for Whites. This may be driven by increased severity of illness among African Americans.
