Description:
Statistics are presented on the utilization of non-Federal short-stay hospitals based on data abstracted in the National Hospital Discharge Survey from a national sample of hospital records of discharged inpatients. The number of discharges, discharge rates, and average length of stay are shown for the classes and categories of first-listed diagnoses, by demographic characteristics of inpatients discharged and by geographic region. All-listed diagnoses (up to seven diagnoses per discharged patient) and diagnostic rates are also shown for the same classes and categories shown for first-listed diagnoses.
