Article Abstract
Unlabelled: OBJECTIVES; This report presents national estimates of the use of non-Federal short-stay hospitals in the United States during 2000. Numbers and rates of discharges, diagnoses, and procedures are shown by age and sex. Discharges are also shown by geographic region of hospital. Average lengths of stay are presented for all discharges and for selected diagnostic categories by age and by sex. Trend data for selected variables are also provided.
Methods: The estimates are based on medical abstract data collected through the National Hospital Discharge Survey for 2000. The survey has been conducted annually by the National Center for Health Statistics since 1965. Diagnoses and procedures presented are coded according to the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification, or ICD-9-CM.
Results: Trends in the utilization of non-Federal short-stay hospitals show that the rate of hospitalization of the elderly (those 65 years of age and over) increased over the entire period from 1970 to 2000, despite a decrease in the 1980s. The rates for the other age groups declined overall. In 2000, there were an estimated 31.7 million discharges of inpatients, excluding newborn infants, from non-Federal short-stay hospitals in the United States. The discharge rate was 1,140.1 per 10,000 population and the average length of stay was 4.9 days. There were 40 million procedures performed on hospital inpatients during 2000. Males had more cardiovascular procedures than females (3.4 million versus 2.5 million), while females had more operations on the digestive system than males (3.0 million versus 2.2 million). About one-quarter of all procedures performed on females were obstetrical.

Background: Despite initiatives to eradicate racial inequalities in pain treatment, there is no clear picture on whether this has translated to changes in clinical practice.
Objective: To determine whether racial disparities in the receipt of pain medication in the emergency department have diminished over a 22-year period from 1999 to 2020.
Design: We used data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, an annual, cross-sectional probability sample of visits to emergency departments of non-federal general and short-stay hospitals in the USA.

Objectives: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) may worsen outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but large database-driven studies have conflicting results. The study objective is to analyze clinical features and outcomes in patients with CDI and IBD using the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) database from 2005 to 2009.
Materials And Methods: NHDS collects the clinical information on patients dismissed from non-Federal short-stay United States hospitals.

Coordination theory provides a theoretical framework for analysing complex processes of project groups working towards a common goal. In this study, we explore the relationship between coordination and social networks for the development of a network-based coordination model. This model is applied to measure the performance and quality of complex and dynamic project coordination such as in hospital emergency departments.

Objective: Infection with the HIV has developed into a chronic illness, with longer-term complications increasingly being seen. There is increasing evidence that infection with HIV may be associated with a hypercoagulable state. This study examines the association of HIV infection with the incidence of both pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis.

Objective: To describe the primary reason for visits to hospital emergency departments (EDs) by patients whose expected source of payment was Medicaid/State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The primary reason for an ED visit is particularly important because it reflects the patients' perspective of the problem that necessitated a visit to the ED.
