1  This column denotes statistically significant (p < 0.05) increases and decreases between estimates for the periods noted.  Percentage increases between years are in red; percentage decreases are in black.  See Relative Standard Error (RSE) tables for p-values.

NOTE:  These estimates are based on a representative sample of non-Federal, short-stay hospitals with 24-hour emergency departments in the coterminous U.S.  

Dots (.) indicate that an estimate with an RSE greater than 50% has been suppressed.  

Dashes (---) indicate that an estimate has been suppressed due to incomplete data.  Data were not sufficiently complete to produce estimates for Atlanta for the period January-June 2001.  For the Atlanta contribution to the national estimates, data were imputed for Atlanta nonrespondents based on actual data from January-June 2000.

ED = emergency department, PCP = phencyclidine.
