Weiss, Ph.D. and Anne Elixhauser, Ph.D. Introduction. Hospital inpatient care constitutes almost one-third of all health care expenditures in the United States.1 Overall, hospitalizations affect a large proportion of Americans directly and represent a significant impact to the U.S economy. Although general population growth and a higher prevalence of chronic health conditions suggest that hospital utilization may increase over time, particularly among some groups, greater use of chronic disea are provided, along with changes in hospital utilization by primary payer and patient age. All differences between mean estimates noted in the text are statistically significant at the 0.0005 level or better. Differences between proportions noted in the text differ by at least 10 percent.
