Figure. Age- and sex-standardized preventable hospitalization rates for congestive heart failure in the United States across 7 time periods. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. There was a negative linear trend for whites (β = −14/100,000; P = .01) and a borderline decrease for blacks (β = −19/100,000; P = .06). The slopes for blacks and whites were not significantly different from each other. Source: National Hospital Discharge Survey, 1995-2009.
