Owens PL, Thompson J, Elixhauser A, Ryan K. 2003. Care of children and adolescents in U.S. hospitals. Rockville, MD: U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 52 pp. (Healthcare cost and utilization project fact book; no. 4)

Annotation: This fact book presents an overview of children and adolescents in U.S. hospitals, providing insight into the types of conditions for which they are hospitalized, the types of procedures they receive, who is billed for the stays, the resources associated with their hospital stays, and where they are discharged to when they leave the hospital. The fact book begins with an overview of hospital care for children and adolescents overall and compares information about children and adolescents to information about adults. It then provides more detailed information about three major subgroups of pediatric hospital stays: (1) neonatal stays, (2) stays for other pediatric illness, and (3) stays for adolescent pregnancy and delivery. Statistical information is presented in figures and tables throughout the fact book.
