HCUP 2000 Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) is now available

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality announced the availability of year 2000 data for its Kids' Inpatient Database (KID), a unique and powerful database that researchers, policymakers, and others can use to identify, track, and analyze national trends in children's health care utilization, access, charges, quality of care, and outcomes.  The 2000 KID contains data from approximately 1.9 million hospital discharges of children 20 years of age and younger in 27 states.  For examples of the types of analyses suited for KID, users who could benefit, technical details, and purchasing information, go to www.ahrq.gov/data/hcup/hcupkid.htm.
