    Excerpt

    This Statistical Brief presents data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) on national estimates of hospitalizations for eating disorders from 1999–2000 to 2005–2006. First, eating disorder-related hospital stays are analyzed by payer, age, and sex, and hospital costs are provided for 1999–2000 and 2005–2006. Second, the national estimates of eating disorder-related hospital stays are provided for each specific eating disorder category. Third, we examine the serious secondary diagnoses for eating disorder inpatients. Although eating disorders may be under-reported in hospital discharge data, this information provides a baseline of information on these conditions. The statistical significance of all differences between estimates across years is indicated in all tables.
