Comments

Estimates are observed rates and are not adjusted for gender or severity.

Although not all States participate in the HCUP database, NIS is weighted to give national estimates using weights based on all U.S. community, nonrehabilitation hospitals in the American Hospital Association Annual Survey Database.

SID includes a powerful set of hospital databases from data organizations in participating States. SID contains the universe of the inpatient discharge abstracts in participating States, translated into a uniform format to facilitate multi-State comparisons and analyses. Together, SID encompasses about 90% of all U.S. community hospital discharges. SID contains a core set of clinical and nonclinical information on all patients, regardless of payer, including people covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance, as well as uninsured people. In addition to the core set of uniform data elements common to all SID, some databases within SID include other elements, such as the patient's race.

The SID disparities analysis file is designed to provide national estimates on disparities using weighted records from a sample of hospitals from the following 31 States: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Comments

This is a composite measure; it is referred to as measure IID-8 in Healthy People 2020 documentation.

These include at least 4 doses of DTaP; at least 3 doses of polio; at least 1 dose of MMR; at least 3 doses of Hib; and at least 3 doses of hepatitis B. Between 1998 and 2005, the following vaccines were added to the list of recommended vaccines for children up to 35 months of age but were not added to this measure: pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) added in 2001 and influenza vaccine added in 2004. Varicella vaccine and vaccines added after 1998 to the recommended schedule for children up to 35 months of age are not included in this measure.

Comments

Statistical adjustments are made to minimize bias due to (1) lower coverage among children living in households without telephones, (2) discrepancies between vaccinations reported by household compared with immunization providers, and (3) differences in racial/ethnic population distribution in the sample compared with racial/ethnic population distribution at birth.

This baseline measure tracks the number of children ages 19-35 months receiving 4 or more doses of the combination of diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis antigens, as well as those children who received the combination of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis antigens.

This measure is referred to as measure IID-7.1 in Healthy People 2020 documentation.
