<h3>Numerator</h3>
<p>Subset of the denominator with principal diagnosis of hypertension, excluding patients with cardiac procedures, obstetric admissions, and transfers from other institutions</p>
<h3>Comments</h3>
<p>Consistent with the AHRQ PQI software, hypertension must be the principal diagnosis. Excluded from this measure are admissions for kidney disease access procedures, admissions with cardiac procedures, and transfers from other institutions.</p>
<p>Rates are adjusted by age and gender using the total U.S. resident population for 2000 as the U.S. standard population; when reporting is by age, the adjustment is by gender only; when reporting is by gender, the adjustment is by age only.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 multistate 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 patients race.</p>
<p>The SID disparities analysis file is designed to provide national estimates on disparities using weighted records from a sample of hospitals from the following 37 States: AK, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, and WY.</p>

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 patients race.</p>
<p>The SID disparities analysis file is designed to provide national estimates on disparities using weighted records from a sample of hospitals from the following 37 States: AK, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, and WY.</p>

<h3>Denominator</h3>
<p>U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population age 12 and over who needed treatment for any illicit drug use or alcohol problem</p>
<h3>Numerator</h3>
<p>Subset of the denominator who received treatment for illicit drug use or alcohol problem at a specialty facility in the last 12 months</p>
<h3>Comments</h3>
<p>Respondents were classified as needing treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol problem if they met at least one of three criteria during the past year: (1) dependent on illicit drugs or alcohol; (2) abuse of illicit drugs or alcohol; or (3) received treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol problem at a specialty facility (i.e., drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities [inpatient or outpatient], hospitals [inpatient only], and mental health centers).</p>
<p>Illicit drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type psychotherapeutics (nonmedical use) (based on data from original questions) not including methamphetamine items added in 2005 and 2006.</p>
<p>Receipt of illicit drug or alcohol treatment at a specialty facility refers to treatment received at a hospital (inpatient), a rehabilitation facility (inpatient or outpatient), or mental health center in order to reduce or stop illicit drug or alcohol use, or for medical problems associated with illicit drug or alcohol use.</p>
<p>Estimates include people who received treatment specifically for illicit drugs or alcohol, as well as people who received treatment but did not specify for what substances.</p>
