Medical Surveillance Monthly Report (MSMR). Volume 10, Number 2, April 2004

Abstract

This report documents frequencies, rates, trends (since 1993), and characteristics of hospitalizations of active component members of the US Armed Forces during 2003 (as documented by standardized, automated records maintained in the Defense Medical Surveillance System). Specifically, this report summarizes hospitalizations of servicemembers in U.S. military hospitals (Standard Inpatient Data Records [SIDR]) since 1993 and in non-military hospitals (Health Care Service Records [HCSR]) since 1995 based on the first three digits of first listed ("primary") discharge diagnoses (International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision, clinical modifications). Records of hospitalizations not documented with automated records (e.g., during deployments, field training exercises, shipboard) are not included.
