“…46 Finally data concerning race and ethnicity are incompletely recorded in recent NHDS data, 25,47 and no information concerning socioeconomic status is available. 23,33 Low socioeconomic status has been associated repeatedly with an increased risk for hospitalizations with lower respiratory tract infections. 2,4,48 Although our estimates of HPIV-associated hospitalizations are imprecise, they are based on current national data and provide an indication of the morbidity that might be prevented among young children through the use of safe and effective HPIV vaccines.…”

“…24 Because the NHDS contains no individual identifiers, the estimates provided are of discharges and not of patients. 23 The design of the NHDS changed in 1988 25 ; therefore hospitalization estimates derived from 1979 through 1987 data cannot be compared statistically with estimates derived from 1988 through 1996 data.…”

“…23 Standard errors of NHDS estimates for 95% confidence intervals (CIs) estimation were made using SUDAAN (Research Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, NC). 28 Tests for trend were conducted for the IHS hospitalization data using linear regression, 29 and a weighted least squares regression method was used for NHDS hospitalization rates. 30 Within-IHS comparisons for age, gender, and region were conducted by using the data for 1994 -1996 for both the outpatient and hospitalization data and by calculating relative risks (RRs) and 95% CIs.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective. To describe the burden of otitis media (OM) among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children.Methods. OM morbidity among AI/AN younger than 5 years was evaluated using OM-associated outpatient visit and hospitalization rates. These rates were compared with outpatient and hospitalization rates for the general US population of children younger than 5 years. AI/AN children who were younger than 5 years and receiving care through the Indian Health Service or tribally operated facilities and US children younger than 5 years of age were studied.Results. From 1994 -1996, the average annual rate of AI/AN OM-associated outpatient visits was 138 per 100 children younger than 5 years. Among AI/AN children younger than 1 year (infants), these rates were almost 3 times greater than those for US infants (318 vs 110 visits per 100 infants, respectively). AI/AN children 1 to 4 years of age had rates 1.5 times greater than US children of the same age (107 vs 65 visits per 100 children, respectively). AI/AN children also experienced higher rates of OMassociated hospitalization than did US children (5643 vs 2440 per 100 000 infants, 823 vs 665 per 100 000 1-to 4-year-olds).Conclusion. We found that AI/AN children, especially AI/AN infants, have higher OM-associated outpatient and hospitalization rates than those for the general US population of children. The disparity in rates suggests that additional prevention programs and continued resources are needed to reduce OM morbidity among AI/AN children. Pediatrics 2002;109(3).

O titis media (OM) is one of the most common and costly health problems that affect children younger than 5 years in the United States. 1,2 Approximately half of US children have an episode of OM before their first birthday, and 9 of 10 children have an episode by 5 years of age. 3,4 OM is the most common diagnosis associated with the prescription of antibiotics in the United States, 5 and when and how antibiotics should be used for this condition remains the subject of continuing debate. 6 -12 Furthermore, from 1% to 7% of children can be expected to have surgical procedures related to OM. 4,13,14 It is widely known that OM morbidity is greater among specific groups of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) children than among the general US population of children. [15][16][17][18] Recent comparisons of AI/AN OM morbidity with that of the general US population are lacking, as are aggregate estimates of OM morbidity among all AI/AN children. Therefore, we examined OM-associated outpatient and hospitalization data for AI/AN children younger t...

“…Data from this study are available on CD-ROM, 73 and much of it is available in hard copy. [74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91] The NHDS is based on data abstracted from a national probability sample of discharges from short-stay, noninstitutional hospitals, exclusive of federal, military, and Veterans Administration, in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Only hospitals with an average length of stay for all patients of less than 30 days or those whose specialty is general (medical or surgical) or children's general, regardless of length stay, are included in the survey.…”
