| Summary: | The 2005 National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) collects
medical and demographic information annually from a sample of hospital
discharge records. Variables include patients' demographic
characteristics (sex, age, race, marital status), dates of admission
and discharge, source and type of admission, status at discharge,
final diagnoses, surgical and nonsurgical procedures, dates of
surgeries, and sources of payment. Information on hospital
characteristics such as bedsize, ownership, and region of the country
is also included. The medical information is coded using the
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES, 9TH REVISION, CLINICAL
MODIFICATION (ICD-9-CM). |

| Sample: | In 2005, the sample consisted of 501 hospitals. Of the 501
hospitals, 28 were found to be out-of-scope (ineligible) because they
went out of business or otherwise failed to meet the criteria for the
NHDS universe. Of the 473 in-scope (eligible) hospitals, 444 hospitals
responded to the survey. |

| Weight: | These data contain one weight variable, weight. Users should
refer to the technical documentation for further information regarding
the weight and its derivation. Additionally, users may need to weigh
the data prior to analysis. |

| Note: | A list of the data formats available for this study can be found in the
summary of holdings. Detailed file-level information (such as record length, case count, and variable count) is listed in the
file manifest. |

| Restrictions: | In preparing the data file for this collection, the
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has removed direct
identifiers and characteristics that might lead to identification of
data subjects. As an additional precaution NCHS requires, under
Section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m), that
data collected by NCHS not be used for any purpose other than
statistical analysis and reporting. NCHS further requires that
analysts not use the data to learn the identity of any persons or
establishments and that the director of NCHS be notified if any
identities are inadvertently discovered. ICPSR member institutions and
other users ordering data from ICPSR are expected to adhere to these
restrictions. |
