HCUP National Kid Inpatient Database

The National (Nationwide) Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) is part of a family of databases and software tools developed for the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). Only years 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012 are available on the PHS Data Portal.

The Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) is the largest publicly available all-payer pediatric inpatient care database in the United States, containing data from two to three million hospital stays. Its large sample size is ideal for developing national and regional estimates and enables analyses of rare conditions, such as congenital anomalies, as well as uncommon treatments, such as organ transplantation. KID releases for data years 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2016, and 2019 are available for purchase online through the Online HCUP Central Distributor. The KID was not produced for 2015 because of the transition from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/PCS coding.
