Weighted national estimates from HCUP Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), 2005, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), based on data collected by individual States and provided to AHRQ by the States. Total number of weighted discharges in the U.S. based on HCUP NIS = 39,163,834. Statistics based on estimates with a relative standard error (standard error / weighted estimate) greater than 0.30 or with standard error = 0 in the nationwide statistics (NIS and KID) are not reliable. These statistics are suppressed and are designated with an asterisk (*). The estimates of standard errors in HCUPnet were calculated using SUDAAN software. These estimates may differ slightly if other software packages are used to calculate variances. Totals may not sum exactly because only the top 25 related conditions or procedures are presented and cases with relative standard errors for discharges greater than 0.30 are suppressed.
