Care of Children and Adolescents in Hospitals

This Fact Book examines hospital care for children using one of the newest
HCUP databases made publicly available—the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID).
Creation of the KID has enabled studies of why children and adolescents
are hospitalized, what types of procedures children receive, who is billed for their hospital stays, and disparities in outcomes and use of services.
This document focuses on neonatal hospitalizations, pediatric illnesses
and teenage pregnancy data. Read on-line or download the .pdf publication.
