<p align="left">The State Inpatient Databases (SID) disparities analysis file was created from SID data to provide national estimates for the QDR. It consists of weighted records from a sample of hospitals from the following 36 States participating in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) that have high-quality race/ethnicity data: AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, HI, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, MI, MO, NC, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p align="left">In 2014, the 36 States accounted for 80 percent of U.S. discharges from community, nonrehabilitation hospitals (based on the American Hospital Association Annual Survey). A full list of HCUP partners appears below, including States that are not part of the disparities analysis file.</p>
