This report has been taken down in order to revise the estimates in the report. This was necessary due to a problem with double coding of certain procedure codes. At this time, we expect that only the estimates of procedures will be affected, but we are re-checking all of the data. We anticipate that the revised report will be posted in the spring. We advise users who have already downloaded this report, or the NSAS micro data from our website, to await the completion of the review of the data and the posting of the revised micro data, before reporting any NSAS 2006 data.
