HCUP Kids' Inpatient Database
Alternate Titles(s): KID, HCUP KID, Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database
- Description
- The Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) is part of a family of databases and software tools developed for the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). The KID is the largest publicly-available all-payer inpatient care database on children. The unique design of the KID enables national and regional studies of common and rare pediatric conditions. The KID can be used to identify, track, and analyze national trends in health care utilization, access, charges, quality, and outcomes. Since 1997, KID data has been released roughly every 3 years. Prior to 2016, data was reported with ICD-9 coding. Data may not be available for all states across all years.
