* This is the period before implementation of a new sample design. Some of the differences between the 1979–1987 statistics and those of later years may be due to sampling error ratherthan changes in hospital utilization patterns.

—There were fewer than 30 NHDS records for this cell of the table. Data are not reported because of questionable reliability.
