Disease relevance of National Center for Health Statistics (U.S.)

Pelvic inflammatory disease is not a reportable condition in the United States. Based on data extracted from the Hospital Discharge Survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, this article presents estimates of the frequency and distribution of PID in short-stay hospitals from 1970 through 1975 [1].
We also assessed the potential modulating effect of vitamin A on the risk of stunting (height-for-age <-2 standard deviations of the gender-specific National Center for Health Statistics median reference) attributable to diarrheal and respiratory infections during follow-up, in the subset of children who were not stunted at baseline [2].

High impact information on National Center for Health Statistics (U.S.)

DESIGN--Using the Compressed Mortality File, a county-level mortality and population database maintained by the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control, Hyattsville, Md, county-level firearm homicide rates are analyzed [3].
METHODS: Prostate cancer incidence data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program and mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics were analyzed [4].
Prostate-cancer mortality rates were assessed from data compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics. Prostate cancer incidence rates increased by 6.4% per year between 1983 and 1989 [5].
Nationwide rates of death from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were estimated from National Center for Health Statistics mortality data for 1968 to 1972 according to age, sex, and race [6].
METHODS: Heights and weights of 13,116 children with CF were evaluated with percentile, percent of reference median, Z-score, and percent ideal weight-for-height based on National Center for Health Statistics/Centers for Disease Control growth references [7].

Biological context of National Center for Health Statistics (U.S.)

Data sources include files of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, National Center for Health Statistics, American Association of Poison Control Centers, and US Census Bureau. RESULTS: Pediatric iron-related injuries increased 150% in 1986, from an annual average of 1,200 from 1980 through 1985 to 3,000 from 1986 through 1996 [8].

Associations of National Center for Health Statistics (U.S.) with chemical compounds

METHODS: Data on medical utilization related to chronic angina were extracted from National Center for Health Statistics public-use databases and from IMS databases on medications (nitrates, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers) [9].
We studied unintentional deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning in New Mexico during this period using the multiple-cause mortality files from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and data from the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator (OMI) [10].

Gene context of National Center for Health Statistics (U.S.)

Mortality data were obtained from NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics) via Surveillance Research Program, National Cancer Institute SEER*Stat software; Ohio incidence data were provided by the Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System. RESULTS: Among women aged 30-74, a significant decline of 2.8% was noted since 1988 for White women [11].
Compared with the percentile values from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS; Hamill et al., 1977, DHEW Publ. No. PHS 78-1650), percentile values from the 1984 Ross Laboratories Infant Nutrition Survey (RNS) for weight, recumbent length, and weight for recumbent length tended to be smaller (p less than .05) [12].
METHODS: The National Center for Health Statistics supplied numbers and rates of death from asthma (ICD 493) by year [13].
DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEMS: The Centers for Disease Control's National Center for Health Statistics conducts the National Health Interview Survey annually, which includes questions concerning COPD and activity limitations [14].
Recently, survey organizations such as the National Center for Health Statistics and the United States Bureau of the Census have distributed data from large surveys to interested investigators via CD-ROM [15].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of National Center for Health Statistics (U.S.)

SOURCE OF DATA: The NHIS is a household, multistage probability sample survey conducted annually by interviewers of the U.S. Census Bureau for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. In 2002, data were collected for 31,044 adults for the Sample Adult questionnaire [16].
The third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988-94) is the most recent in a series of national examination studies conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Prior to NHANES III the upper age limit was 74; the upper age limit was removed for NHANES III [17].
