Need to get some statistics? Browse around the AHRQ's statistics tool where you can design your own criteria for the statistic set that you need.

What is HCUP?
The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP, pronounced "H-cup") is a family of health care databases and related tools that can assist you to synthesize the data. It is based on statewide data collected by individual data organizations across the United States and provided to AHRQ.

It includes the largest collection of longitudinal hospital care data in the United States, encompassing all-payer, discharge-level information.

Databases that can be found include:

• Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS)
• State Inpatient Databases (SID)
• State Ambulatory Surgery Databases (SASD)
• State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD)
• Kids' Inpatient Database (KID)

The website includes reports, news and events, and even has a link for technical assistance (my kind of page!).
