Sub-County Data for Selected Health Outcomes in New York State, 2008-2012
health.data.ny.gov | Last Updated 9 Sep 2021This dataset includes average annual crude and age-adjusted rates for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and myocardial infarction (MI) in New York State at sub-county resolution for the time period 2008-2012. Emergency Department (ED) visit and hospitalization data for these health outcomes in NYS were generated from the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) database which collects information on discharges from hospitals in NYS. </br> The data reflect people who have a health condition that is serious enough to require a hospital admission or ED visit and do not include conditions managed through visit to a primary care physician. Data show the number of hospitalizations or ED visits rather than the number of patients who were admitted or seen for each illness. </br> For more information, visit https://health.ny.gov/environmental/public_health_tracking/.
