These data includes inpatient hospitalizations of individuals who are hospitalized in acute care hospitals. These data are based only on primary discharge diagnosis codes (ICD9-CM). These data do not include individuals who were seen by an Emergency Department, but not admitted to the hospital. Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Services and institutionalized (prison) populations are excluded. No attempt has been made to remove records resulting from transfer among acute care hospitals, as a result there may be duplicate records for a single hospitalization event.
