Hospitalizations for uncontrolled diabetes in Indian Health Service areas.
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Prevention Quality Indicators.
246. Hospitalizations for uncontrolled diabetes per 100,000 population age 18 and older in Indian Health Service and Tribal hospitals, 2004.
Indian Health Service (IHS), National Patient Information Reporting System (NPIRS).
Population in Indian Health Service areas.
Subset of population hospitalized with principal diagnosis of uncontrolled diabetes, without mention of a short-term (ketoacidosis, hyperosmolarity, coma) or long-term complication (renal, eye, neurological, circulatory, other unspecified).
This measure is adapted from the AHRQ Prevention Quality Indicators. The ICD-9-CM codes used to identify discharges for uncontrolled diabetes are the same as used for the corresponding AHRQ measure, but the format of NPIRS did not allow for exclusion of transfers.
The numerator includes hospitalizations in IHS Service hospitals and contract hospitals with admissions during 2004. Because of concerns about the quality of the data, hospitalizations from some regions are deleted; the denominator is correspondingly reduced.
The total estimates are age adjusted using the total U.S. population for 2000 as the standard population.
