^aExcludes patients with respiratory disease, circulatory disease, or neuromuscular disorders, obstetric conditions, and admissions specifically for acute respiratory failure.� Rates are adjusted by age, gender, age-gender interactions, comorbidities, and diagnosis-related group (DRG) clusters. When reporting is by age, the adjustment is by gender, comorbidities, and DRG clusters; when reporting is by gender, the adjustment is by age, comorbidities, and DRG clusters.
