Adjustment of
Hospital Utilization
Rates
United States, 1965–80
This report presents rates of discharges
from short-stay non-Federal hospitals by
age and sex for 1965–80 calculated
using the civilian noninstitutionalized and
civilian resident population. The estimates
of number of discharges are based on data
abstracted from a national sample of
records of discharged patients. Changes in
discharge rates that result from the choice
of population estimates are discussed, and
a ratio for converting rates based on the
civilian noninstitutionalized population to
rates based on the civilian resident
population is provided. Trends in discharge
rates from 1965–82 are described.

Adjustment of Hospital
Utilization Rates
by Robert Pokras and Lola Jean Kozak, Division of Health
Care Statistics
Introduction
The National Center for Health Statistics has collected
data on patients discharged from short-stay non-Federal hospi-
tals by means of the National Hospital Discharge Survey since
1965. Throughout the period of 1965–80, the estimates of rates
of discharges and days of care were calculated using civilian
noninstitutionalized population estimates from the U.S. Bureau
of the Census. Beginning with 1981 data, however, the civilian
resident population replaced the civilian noninstitutionalized
population as the denominator for estimating hospital utilization
rates. In this report previously published hospital discharge
rates based on the civilian noninstitutionalized population are
presented along with revised rates calculated using the civilian
resident population for 1965–80 by sex and age.
The National Hospital Discharge Survey is a continuous
survey of patients discharged from noninstitutional general
and specialty hospitals, excluding military and Veterans Ad-
ministration hospitals, that have an average length of stay of
less than 30 days. Data are collected in the survey about char-
acteristics of the patients, their lengths of stay, diagnoses, sur-
gical procedures, and the size, location, and ownership of the
hospitals from which they are discharged. The patient data are
abstracted from the face sheets of a sample of inpatient medical
records in a sample of hospitals. For example, in 1965, 296
hospitals participated in the survey submitting approximately
100,000 abstracts, and in 1980, 420 hospitals took part in the
survey supplying about 224,000 abstracts. Appendix I contains
a brief description of the sample design, data collection proce-
dures, and estimation process. A report has been published
that provides a detailed description of the National Hospital
Discharge Survey design and estimation techniques."
Discussion
Background
A rationale for use of the civilian noninstitutionalized popu-
lation (CNP) to calculate rates from National Hospital Dis-
charge Survey (NHDS) data is not provided in published or
unpublished documents on the survey design or data analysis
of the NHDS. The CNP may have been chosen so that rates
produced from the various population-based surveys of the Na-
tional Center for Health Statistics would be consistent. For the
two population-based surveys begun before 1965 (the National
Health Interview Survey and the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey, originally the Health Examination Survey),
the CNP had already been selected to compute rates.
The choice of population also may have been influenced
by the exclusion from the survey of hospital units of institutions,
such as infirmaries in State mental hospitals and prison hospitals.
If persons in institutions were treated for medical problems
exclusively in institutional hospitals, their hospitalizations would
not be within the scope of the survey. It would, therefore, have
seemed logical to use population estimates that excluded insti-
tutionalized persons. However, because institutions are not usu-
ally equipped to perform the diagnostic or surgical procedures
necessary to treat many illnesses, persons in institutions are
admitted to short-stay hospitals. This is especially true of nurs-
ing homes, which frequently transfer patients to short-stay hos-
pitals for treatment of acute conditions. Thus, institutionalized
persons should be considered within the scope of the survey,
and because they were not included in the population estimates
used to calculate NHDS rates, the rates of hospital use pub-
lished from 1965–80 were generally overestimated.
This problem first came to light because of discrepancies
in the hospital utilization rates from the NHDS and the Medi-
care program. Medicare is a nationwide health program pri-
marily providing health benefits to persons 65 years of age and
over. The program reimburses hospital charges in part or full
for about 92 percent of the discharges of patients 65 years of
age and over from non-Federal short-stay hospitals. National
estimates of the hospital use of Medicare patients are derived
from a 20-percent sample of Medicare records. In the late
1970's the Medicare hospital utilization rates were found to be
lower than the NHDS rates, and although the difference in
rates was not statistically significant, the discrepancy was con-
sistent from year to year.
In a detailed examination of these two sets of hospital uti-
lization rates, it was found that the estimated total numbers of
discharges from the two sources were comparable, taking into
account that the Medicare program served only part of patients
65 years of age and over. It was evident then, that the population
estimates were the source of the rate differences. The Medi-
care rates were based on the Medicare enrollment population,
which included institutionalized persons, but the NHDS popu-
lation estimates excluded this segment of the population. When
the discharge rates from NHDS data were recomputed using
the civilian resident population (CRP) rather than the CNP,
the results were more comparable to those from Medicare data.
Consideration of these findings led to the recognition that the
CRP more accurately reflected the population at risk.
Changes in rates
In general, the discharge rates based on the CRP were
lower than the rates based on the CNP. As can be seen in
figure 1, the effect on total discharge rates was small. From
1965 through 1969 there was less than a 1 percent difference
in the two sets of rates. The difference grew in the 1970’s, but
still reached only 3.3 percent in 1979. The effects on the dis-
charge rates of males and females were similar (figure 2), re-
flected in lower rates based on the CRP than based on the
CNP for both sexes.
The change in population had different effects on the dis-
charge rates of different age groups (figure 3). For the group
under 15 years of age, rates based on the CRP were higher
than rates based on the CNP from 1965 through 1969. This
results from using more current CRP data (adjusted from the
1970 census) than CNP data, as is discussed in more detail
later. For all the other age groups, and the group under 15
years of age after 1969, the CRP-based rates were lower than
the CNP-based rates. The changes in rates were small for the
groups 15–44 years and 45–64 years of age. For the group
65–74 years of age, CRP-based rates were between 4.9 and
5.6 percent lower than CNP-based rates in the 1960’s, but the
difference decreased to between 2.5 and 3.1 percent in the
1970's. For the group 75 years of age and over, differences in
the CRP- and CNP-based rates were between 5.3 and 5.5 per-
cent in the 1960's; the differences increased in the 1970’s, reach-
ing 14.1 percent in 1979.
The changes in discharge rates were not due entirely to the
addition of institutionalized persons to the population. The CRP
estimates in this report were based on more recent U.S. Bureau
of the Census data than were available when the CNP estimates
were used in earlier publications. The 1965–69 CNP estimates
were based on the 1960 census, but the CRP estimates for
these years were adjusted following the 1970 census. Likewise,

the 1970–79 CNP estimates were based on the 1970 census
while the CRP estimates for 1970–80 were adjusted using the
1980 census data. Thus, even if the CRP had been used to
compute discharge rates from 1965–79, the rates based on the
adjusted CRP would have changed.
To illustrate this point, discharge rates for 1976 are pre-
sented in table A based on the CNP and CRP estimates from
the 1970 census and the CRP estimates adjusted after the 1980
census. The differences in the rates based on the CNP and
those based on the original CRP” show the effect of the addi-
tion of institutionalized persons to the population estimates.
These differences ranged from 0.3 percent for the age group
under 15 years to 2.5 percent for the group 65-74 years of age
and 9.8 percent for the group 75 years of age and over. The
greater effect on the older age groups would be expected be-
cause the proportion of the population that is institutionalized
increases with age. The differences between the rates based on
the two sets of CRP’s demonstrate the effects of the adjustment
of population estimates after the 1980 census. For 1976 the
adjustment of the population estimate had a greater effect on
the total discharge rate and the rates of age groups under 45
years of age than did the addition of institutionalized persons.
The CRP-based rates that were higher than CNP-based
rates can be explained by the adjustments to the CRP following
a decennial census. While the addition of institutionalized per-
sons always increased the population estimates, the adjustments
could increase or decrease them. For the age group under 15
years of age, which has a relatively small percent of institu-
tionalized persons, adjustments that decreased estimates were
not always offset by the addition of the institutionalized pop-
ulation. Thus, the adjusted CRP for this age group was oc-
casionally smaller than the CNP, which made the CRP-based
rates higher than the CNP-based rates.
The lack of an adjustment factor helps explain why the
CNP- and CRP-based discharge rates for 1980 were generally
more similar than were the two sets of rates during the 1970's.
Because the 1980 CNP and CRP were both based on the 1980
census, differences in the rates for 1980 were the result only of
the addition of the institutionalized population.
In addition to the population changes, discharge rates were
affected by changes in the universe of hospitals sampled for
NHDS. From 1965 through 1971 the hospitals sampled in the
survey were only those that had been operating in 1963, but
over time new hospitals had come into existence. The universe

was updated and new hospitals were added to the sample in
1972, 1975, 1977, 1979, and 1981. As a result, the estimated
number of discharges jumped in each of these years, raising
both the CNP- and CRP-based rates. While on the average the
estimated number of discharges increased less than 2 percent a
year, the 1972 estimate was up 7.4 percent, the 1975 estimate
3.1 percent, the 1977 estimate 4.5 percent, and the 1979 esti-
mate 3.2 percent over the preceding year’s estimate. These
increases, especially the 1972 increase, are reflections of the
updated universe as well as actual increases in the number of
discharges. . .
Use of the detailed tables
The detailed tables in this report (tables 1–16) contain
estimates of the CNP, CRP, a ratio of these two population
estimates, and hospital discharge rates based on each popula-
tion estimate for every year from 1965 through 1980. This
information can be used to convert the CNP-based rates from
earlier publications of NHDS data to rates based on CRP. A
list of NHDS publications is presented in appendix III.
One way to use tables 1–16 is simply to examine the rates
based on the CRP by sex or age for a year or a series of years.
For example, if there is an interest in the discharge rates of
males 55–64 years of age at 5-year intervals, the CRP-based
rates can be taken from table 1 for 1965 (196.0), table 6 for
1970 (186.2), table 11 for 1975 (219.4), and table 16 for 1980
(228.3).
The ratio of CNP to CRP in tables 1–16 can be used as a
measure of the percent increase or decrease in a CNP-based
rate that results from the conversion to the CRP-based rate.
The percent change is found by subtracting the ratio from one
and multiplying by 100. For example, a CNP/CRP ratio of
0.940 indicates that the rate based on the CRP is 6 percent less
than the CNP-based rate:
(1 – 0.940) × 100 = 6
Thus, the magnitude of the rate change can be examined by
looking at the CNP/CRP ratio.
The CNP/CRP ratio also can be used for easy conversion
of additional CNP-based rates to rates based on the CRP. For

Trends in discharge rates
While the focus of this report is on differences between
CNP- and CRP-based discharge rates, it is interesting to note
the changes in the CRP-based discharge rates over time. The
discharge rates for 1981 and 1982 were included in figures 1–3
so that rates could be examined over the 18 years for which
data are available from NHDS. As was discussed earlier, the
NHDS sample was first updated in 1972 and probably pro-
duced underestimates of discharges for several of the preceding
years.
The total discharge rate grew from 150 per 1,000 CRP in
1965 to 168 per 1,000 CRP in 1982, a 12-percent increase.
The discharge rate for males increased 16 percent from 1965–
82, while the rate for females increased only 9 percent. How-
ever, the female discharge rate was 48 percent higher than the
male rate in 1965 and remained 40 percent higher in 1982.
The discharge rate for the group under 15 years of age
changed very little during this 18-year period: It was 72 per
1,000 CRP in 1965 and 71 per 1,000 CRP in 1982. For patients
15–44 years of age discharge rates decreased 17 percent from
1965 through 1982, and 12 percent between 1965-72. The
decrease between 1965–72 was probably related to the
20-percent decline in birth rates during this period.3
Discharge rates increased for patients 45 years and over
from 1965–82. The group 45–64 years of age showed a rate
increase of 13 percent, which was almost all during the period
1972–82. In contrast, the discharge rate for patients 65–74
years of age increased 52 percent from 1965–82, and much of
this increase, 30 percent, was from 1965–72. However, the
greatest rate change was for patients 75 years of age and over
whose discharge rate was 314 per 1,000 CRP in 1965 and 511
per 1,000 CRP in 1982, a 63-percent increase. Patients in this
age group accounted for 7 percent of all discharges in 1965,
and increased to 14 percent in 1982.

Statistical design of the National Hospital
Discharge Survey
Scope of the survey—The National Hospital Discharge
Survey (NHDS) encompasses patients discharged from non-
institutional hospitals, exclusive of military and Veterans Ad-
ministration hospitals, located in the 50 States and the District
of Columbia. Only hospitals with six or more beds for patient
use and those in which the average length of stay for all patients
is less than 30 days are included in the survey. Discharges of
patients from Federal hospitals are not included.
Sample size—The Master Facility Inventory of Hospitals
and Institutions is the universe from which the NHDS sample
is drawn. A detailed description of the development, contents,
maintenance plans, and assessment of coverage was published
in 1965.4
The original universe for the survey was made up of 6,965
hospitals contained in the 1963 Master Facility Inventory of
Hospitals and Institutions. As shown in table I, the universe
was updated five times from 1965–82 and consisted of 8,080
hospitals in 1982. The sample for the survey, which was com-
posed of 315 hospitals in 1965, has been increased six times

and contained 550 hospitals in 1982. Each year some of the
sampled hospitals refused to participate in the survey or were
found to be out of scope either because they had gone out of
business or failed to meet the definition of a short-stay hospital.
Thus, the number of hospitals participating in the survey varied
from year to year, but grew from 296 in 1965 to 426 in 1982.
The number of abstracts of medical records provided by partici-
pating hospitals also varied from year to year but increased
from approximately 100,000 in 1965 to 214,000 in 1982.
Sample design—A two-stage sampling design is used in
the survey. The first stage is the selection of the sample of
hospitals. All hospitals with 1,000 or more beds in the universe
of short-stay hospitals are included in the survey, while the
hospitals with fewer than 1,000 beds are stratified, the primary
strata being 24 size-by-region classes. A controlled selection
technique is used to allocate hospitals within each primary stra-
tum so that the hospitals in the sample are properly distributed
with regard to ownership and geographic division. Sample hos-
pitals are drawn with probabilities ranging from certainty for
the largest hospitals to 1 in 40 for the smallest hospitals.
The second stage is selection of a sample of discharges
within sampled hospitals. Discharges are selected with an in-
verse relationship to the probability of hospital selection. In
hospitals with 1,000 or more beds, the sampling probability is
1 in 100 while in hospitals with less than 50 beds it is 4 in 10.
This sampling is done to compensate for hospitals that were
selected with probabilities proportionate to their size class and
to insure that the overall probability of selecting a discharge is
approximately the same in each size hospital.
In nearly all hospitals, the samples of discharges are selected
from the daily listing sheet of discharges. The sample of dis-
charges is selected by a random technique, usually on the basis
of the terminal digit(s) of the patient’s medical record number,
which is assigned when the patient is admitted to the hospital.
If the hospital’s daily listing does not show the medical record
numbers, the sample is selected by starting with a randomly
selected discharge and taking every kth discharge thereafter.
Data collection and processing
The sample selection and transcription of information from
the hospital records to abstract forms are performed by either
the medical records department of the hospital or by personnel
of the U.S. Bureau of the Census acting for the National Center
for Health Statistics, or by both. The abstract form currently
used in sample hospitals is shown in figure I. The content of the
form has been the same since 1977 when the following items,

CONFIDENTIAL – All information which would permit identification of an individual or of an establishment will be held confidential, will be used only
by persons engaged in and for the purposes of the survey, and will not be disclosed or released to other persons or used for any other purpose.

which were not on the abstract forms used from 1965–76, were
added: residence of patient (zip code), expected source(s) of
payment, disposition of patient, and dates of procedures. Com-
pleted abstract forms for each sample hospital are shipped,
along with sample selection control sheets, to a regional office.
of the Bureau of the Census. Every shipment is reviewed, and
each abstract form is checked for completeness. Abstracts are
then sent to the National Center for Health Statistics for pro-
cessing.
Imputations are made for some missing items. The age and
sex of the patient are not stated on the face sheet of the patient’s
medical record for less than one-fourth of 1 percent of the dis-
charges. If these items are missing, imputations are made by
assigning the patient an age or sex consistent with the age or
sex of other patients with the same diagnostic code.
Reliability of estimates
Estimation—Statistics produced by NHDS are derived
by a complex estimating procedure. The basic unit of estimation
is the sample inpatient discharge abstract. The estimating pro-
cedure used to produce essentially unbiased national estimates
in the NHDS has three principal components: inflation by recip-
rocals of the probabilities of sample selection, adjustment for
nonresponse, and ratio adjustment to fixed totals. These com-
ponents of estimation are described in appendix I of two earlier
publications.3%
NOTE: A list of references follows the text.
Measurement errors—As in any survey, results are subject
to nonsampling or measurement errors, which include errors
because of hospital nonresponse, missing abstracts, information
incompletely or inaccurately recorded on abstract forms, and
processing errors.
Sampling errors—The standard error is primarily a meas-
ure of the variability attributed to a value obtained from a sam-
ple as an estimate of a population. In NHDS reports it also
reflects part of the measurement error. The value that would
have been obtained if a complete enumeration of the population
had been made will be contained in an interval represented by
the sample estimate plus or minus 1 standard error about 68
out of 100 times and plus or minus 2 standard errors about 95
out of 100 times.
While the standard error of one statistic is generally differ-
ent from that of another, even when the two come from the
same survey, approximate relative standard errors have been
prepared for NHDS statistics that are applicable to a wide
variety of estimates from the survey. These are available in the
appendixes of the Series 13 reports listed in appendix III.
Population estimates
The population estimates used in this report are from pub-
lished and unpublished estimates for the U.S. civilian resident
and civilian noninstitutionalized population on July 1 of the
data year provided by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The
estimates by age and sex are presented in detailed tables 1–16
and are consistent with population estimates published in Cur-
rent Population Reports, Series P—25.
Appendix II
Definitions of terms
Hospitals—In this report a hospital is a short-stay general
or specialty hospital having six or more beds for inpatient use
and an average length of stay of less than 30 days. Federal
hospitals and hospital units of institutions are not included.
Patient—A person who is formally admitted to the inpa-
tient service of a short-stay hospital for observation, care, diag-
nosis, or treatment is considered a patient. In this report the
number of patients refers to the number of discharges during
the year, including any multiple discharges of the same indi-
vidual from one or more short-stay hospitals. Infants admitted
on the day of birth, directly or by transfer from another medical
facility, with or without mention of a disease, disorder, or im-
maturity, are included. All newborn infants, defined as those
admitted by birth to the hospital, are excluded from the tables
in this report. The terms “patient” and “inpatient” are used
synonymously.
Discharge—Discharge is the formal release of a patient by
the hospital; that is, the termination of a period of hospitali-
zation by death or by disposition to place of residence, nursing
home, or another hospital. The terms “discharges” and “pa-
tients discharged” are used synonymously.
Discharge rate—The ratio of the number of hospital dis-
charges during a year to the number of persons in the civilian
resident or noninstitutionalized population on July 1 of that
year determines the discharge rate.
Population—Civilian resident population is the resident
population excluding members of the armed forces. Civilian
noninstitutionalized population is the civilian population not
residing in institutions.
Age—Patient’s age refers to age at birthday prior to ad-
mission to the hospital inpatient service.
