a Number of antibiotic courses ordered, supplied, administered, or continued at a specific visit for persons diagnosed with the common cold (ICD-9-CM codes 460.0, 465, or 472.0) per 10,000 population.
b The 2000-2001 data for Asian are
Asian and Pacific Islander collected in aggregate.
c Estimates of 2001-2002 data are preliminary figures based on Census 2000 data and were obtained through the Office of Research and Methodology and Division of Health Interview Statistics, NCHS. They are based on U.S. Census Bureau estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population of the United States as of July 1, 2001 and July 1, 2002.
d Estimates of the civilian noninstitutionalized
population used in calculating visit rates by age, sex, race, and geographic
region are from special tabulations developed by the Population Division, U.S.
Census Bureau, using the July 1, 2001 and July 1, 2002 set of State population
estimates, and reflect Census 2000 data.
e Year 2000 rates use U.S. Census
Bureau monthly postcensal estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population
as
July 1, 2000 and are available at the Census Bureau Internet site: http://www.census.gov/main/www/cen2000.html.
Figures have been adjusted for net underenumeration using the 1990 National
Population Adjustment Matrix. Regional estimates were provided by the Division
of Health Interview Statistics (DHIS), National Center for Health Statistics,
and are also based on U.S. census estimates of the civilian noninstitutionalized
population as of July 1, 2000.
Year 2001 rates use U.S. Bureau of the Census estimates
of the civilian noninstitutionalized population as of July 1, 2001 and are
based on data from Census 2000. Year 2001 estimates of MSA/non-MSAs are calculated
from data provided by the Office of Research and Methodology (ORM) and Division
of Health Interview Statistics (DHIS), National Center for Health Statistics,
and are based on estimates of the civilian noninstitutionalized population
as of July 1, 2002 using Census 2000 data, with adjustments to 2001 totals.
DSU - Data do not meet the criteria for statistical reliability,
data quality or confidentiality. An estimate is unreliable if the unweighted
number is less than 30 or the relative standard error is greater than 30.
DNC - Data system does not collect data for this population.
Key: NHOPI: Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander; AI/AN: American Indian or Alaska Native; MSA: Metropolitan Statistical Area.
