Notes:

Hospitalizations are inpatient hospital stays as measured by stays that were completed during the specified year. The number of hospitalizations is often greater than the number of persons hospitalized since some persons are hospitalized more than once during a year.

Zero Hospitalizations is shown by a "—".

Rates are per 10,000 population in the area for the specified year or years. Adding and substracting the number shown after ± symbol from the rate creates an interval indicating that the true rate lies between the lower and upper bounds with 95% statistical confidence.
A rate is not calculated and is shown by an "**" if there were less than 6 cases for the specified period and given diagnosis.
