Corrections to the Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2000

Please refer to the information below for corrections to the NIS data set. In some cases, there is a downloadable document that either provides more information or provides a program to correct the problem.

Some documents are provided in Adobe® Acrobat­ (PDF) format. The amount of time needed to access a document depends on your machine, browser, and Internet connection. PDF files require the Adobe® Acrobat® ReaderTM, which can be downloaded free of charge from Adobe®. PDF Help provides instructions on how to work with PDF files.
