FIGURE 1.

The figure above is a line chart showing the age-adjusted hospitalization rate (per 100,000 population) for a first-listed or any-listed diagnosis of Crohn’s disease, by sex in the United States, during 2003–2013.

Age-adjusted* hospitalization rate (per 100,000 population) for a first-listed or any-listed diagnosis of Crohn’s disease, by sex — National Inpatient Sample, United States, 2003–2013

*Age-adjusted to the 2000 projected U.S. population.

First-listed Crohn’s disease diagnosis indicates that Crohn’s disease was the principal reason for the hospitalization. Any-listed Crohn’s disease diagnosis indicates that patients had Crohn’s disease, but Crohn’s disease was not necessarily the main reason they were being hospitalized.
