Excerpt

This Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Statistical Brief presents data from 29 States on the number of hospitalizations and in-hospital deaths across time periods and States with a focus on the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The counts are presented overall and by patient characteristics across 29 States from April to December 2020 using quarterly HCUP inpatient data compared with State-level averages from April to December in 2016–2019 using the HCUP State Inpatient Databases (SID). The percentages of all hospitalizations and in-hospital deaths related to COVID-19 during the April–December 2020 timeframe are also provided. Because of the large sample size of the HCUP data, small differences can be statistically significant but not meaningful. Thus, only differences greater than or equal to 10 percent are discussed in the text.
