Excerpt

This Statistical Brief presents data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) on hospital stays for obesity among children ages 1 to 17 years in 2000 and 2009. Descriptive analyses were performed on the HCUP Kids’ Inpatient Database (KID), which is created every three years. Characteristics of stays such as patient age, gender, expected payer, and geographic differences are examined. Additionally, the most common principal diagnoses and the most common procedures for hospital stays for child obesity are identified. All differences between estimates noted in the text are statistically significant at the .01 level or better.
