Abstract:

Users are able to access information related to inpatient care for children under 20 years old. Researchers, students, and policymakers can use the State Inpatient Database (SID) to identify, track, and analyze national trends in health care utilization, access, charges, quality, and outcomes. <p><b>Background</b></p> The SID is one database in a family of databases and software tools developed as part of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). A Federal-State-Industry partnership sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, HCUP data inform decision-making at the national, State, and community levels. The SID contains more than 100 clinical and nonclinical variables included in a hospital discharge abstract, such as: Principal and secondary diagnoses, P rincipal and secondary procedures, Admission and discharge status, Patient demographics (e.g., gender, age, and, for some States, race), Expected payment source (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay; for some States, additional discrete payer categories, such as managed care), Total charges, and Length of stay, <p><b>User functionality </b></p> Users must pay to access the database. SID files beginning in 1990 are available through the AHRQ-sponsored HCUP Central Distributor. The HCUP Central Distributor can provide more detailed, descriptive information on the SID and assist purchasers in completing the application. The SID data set can be run on desktop computers with a CD-ROM reader, and comes in ASCII format. The data on the CD set require a statistical software package such as SAS or SPSS to use f or analytic purposes. . <p><b>Data Notes </b></p> Users can access data for up to forty four states including Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
