Ambulatory and Inpatient Procedures in the United States, 1994

Provides information on surgical and nonsurgical procedures performed in the U.S. by combining data from two surveys: the Nat. Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) and the Nat. Survey of Ambulatory Surgery. The NHDS, conducted annually since 1965, provides estimates of hospital utilization by inpatients. Data in this report include numbers and rates of procedures and of discharges for ambulatory surgery patients and inpatients by sex, age, and geographic region. Lists of frequently performed procedures are provided for total procedures, surgical and nonsurgical procedures, gender, and age groups, with additional data on category and location.Pokras, Robert is the author of 'Ambulatory and Inpatient Procedures in the United States, 1994', published 2000 under ISBN 9780160614804 and ISBN 0160614805.
