* ICD-9-CM = International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision,
Clinical Modification; SPARC = significant pediatric arthritis and other
rheumatologic conditions.
† Visit data include 83,000 emergency department visits that were not
used to estimate prevalence.
‡ Estimates for 727.0, 729.1, 710, and 714 are based on samples of
42–104 records, but relative
standard errors exceed 30%. All the remaining code estimates are based
on <30 records.
§ Data not shown individually for codes with estimated proportions below
3% for prevalence or visits. Such codes include 099.3 Reactive
arthritis; 136.1 Behcet's syndrome; 274 Gout; 277.3 Amyloidosis; 390–391
Rheumatic fever; 437.4 Cerebral arteritis; 443.0 Raynaud’s syndrome;
447.6 Arteritis, unspecified; 695.2 Erythema nodosum; 696.0 Psoriatic
arthropathy; 701.0 Circumscribed scleroderma; 712 Crystal arthropathies;
713 Arthropathy associated with other disorders classified elsewhere;
719.2 Villonodular synovitis; 719.3 Palindromic rheumatism; 720
Ankylosing spondylitis and other inflammatory spondylopathies; and 729.0
Rheumatism, unspecified and fibrositis.

* Estimates based on dividing national ICD-9-CM-based
any diagnosis SPARC prevalence by the child population younger than 18
years of age and applying that rate to state-specific populations.
All estimates rounded to the nearest 100.

Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification; CI = confidence interval.
