COPD Metadata

{{class TealText NOTE: The 2024 data in this HIDD query are final, however 2024 population estimates were not available at the time the HIDD data were prepared. 2023 population estimates have been used to calculate rates.}}Hospital Visit Definition
This Environmental Public Health Tracking query defines the year and month using the date of admission rather than date of discharge. The data include inpatient visits to general acute care hospitals only and excludes newborns and visits to New Mexico hospitals by out-of-state residents.Statistical Stability
Problems with statistical instability (indicated by a # or ## symbol in the right column of the data table, above) typically occur when there is a small number of health events in a small population. For more information on statistical stability, visit the NM-IBIS [https://ibis.doh.nm.gov/resource/ReliabilityValidity.html Reliability and Validity] page.International Classification of Disease (ICD) Codes
ICD Stands for International Classification of Diseases. It is a coding system maintained by the World Health Organization and the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics used to classify causes of death on death certificates and diagnoses, injury causes, and medical procedures for hospital and emergency department visits. These codes are updated every decade or so to account for advances in medical technology. The U.S. is currently using the 10th revision (ICD-10) to code causes of death. The 9th revision (ICD-9) was still used for hospital and emergency department visits until October 2015.

Data Issues
Hospital Inpatient Discharge Data (HIDD)
The hospital inpatient discharge data include visits to NON-FEDERAL HOSPITALS only. Visits to Veteran's Administration (VA) facilities and Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities have not been included, unless specifically stated otherwise. Results from this query should not be used to make population inferences for New Mexico's American Indian populations. The data include all hospital visits. Persons with multiple hospital visits will be counted multiple times. By default, these query results include records for in-hospital deaths. Users wishing to query only non-fatal hospitalizations should filter the data to include all discharge statuses OTHER than **EXPIRED**. Transfer visits have not been removed from the dataset. Patients who were transferred from one facility to another will have data records at each facility. For inpatient visits with a diagnosis of "childbirth", data records for mothers have been included, but the data records for newborns have excluded from the HIDD queries. The ICD coding system, maintained by the World Health Organization and the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, is used to classify diagnoses for hospital and emergency department visits. This coding system underwent a major revision from version 9 to version 10 that went into effect October 1, 2015. In most cases, the two versions do not provide comparable results, and the two time periods should not be combined in a single query. The hospital inpatient dataset includes only New Mexico residents hospitalized in New Mexico hospitals and do not include visits for New Mexico residents who visited a hospital in another state. In cases of serious injuries near the state borders, oftentimes patients will be transported to a nearby trauma center in the bordering state.New Mexico Population Estimates
{{class RedText NOTE: On January 16, 2025, the NM-IBIS and NMTracking POPULATION ESTIMATES FOR YEARS **2010 THROUGH 2023** WERE REPLACED. Data from the 2020 decennial census were used to update the estimates. Rates calculated using the NM-IBIS and NMTracking web-based queries are affected. Any rates that use population denominators that were calculated after January 16, 2025 will be different from those calculated prior to that date. We apologize for the inconvenience.}} All population estimates apply to July 1 of the selected year. These estimates are considered the most accurate estimates for the state of New Mexico and should match those found on the University of New Mexico [https://gps.unm.edu/pop/population-estimates.html Geospatial and Population Studies website]. Estimates include decimal fractions. Census tract population estimates were summed to produce County estimates. Population estimate totals may vary slightly due to rounding.
