1Categories of principal diagnosis were defined by grouping ICD‐10‐CM codes using the Clinical Classifications Software Refined (CCSR) into clinically meaningful categories. CCSR was developed by the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), which serves as the central distributor of hospital data for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Percentages are of all discharges for the specified year. |
