Diagnostic categories and individual diagnoses are listed in order of frequency in the overall study population. The number of hospitalizations during 2010 that were associated with each diagnostic category and individual diagnosis are reported. The percentage listed for each diagnostic category represents the percentage of all hospitalizations associated with that diagnostic category. The percentage listed for each individual diagnosis represents the percentage of hospitalizations within that diagnostic category. See Appendix Table for ICD-9 codes used to identify each diagnosis.

CAD coronary artery disease; MI myocardial infarction; COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Complication of cirrhosis includes admissions for cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, portal hypertension, and ascites
