HCUPnet is based on aggregate statistics tables to speed up data transfer and protect individual
records, so not all possible queries can be addressed. If a query is not possible, HCUPnet
will not allow you to choose certain parameters. If there is a query you'd like to see
that HCUPnet does not support, please write us
at hcup@ahrq.hhs.gov.
