Crude and Age-Adjusted Hospital Discharge Rates for a Lower Extremity Condition as the First-Listed or Any-Listed Diagnosis per 1,000 Diabetic Population, United States, 1980-2003

In 2003, the crude hospital discharge rate was 18.8 per 1,000 diabetic population for a lower extremity condition as the first-listed diagnosis and 61.1 for it as any-listed diagnosis (i.e., lower extremity condition as first-listed or one of the six secondary diagnoses). Both crude and age-adjusted hospital discharge rates with a lower extremity condition as any-listed diagnosis increased from 1980 to 1995, and then began to decrease.
