OBJECTIVES: To examine, analyze, and interpret data that correlate with data concerning hospital admissions for DRG 327. Furthermore, we examine variables and controls that come into play when dealing with sprains, strains and dislocations of the hip, pelvis, and thigh area. METHODS: The data that were analyzed for DRG 237 were taken from the KID (KID's Inpatient Database) for 2006. KID stands for Kids’ Inpatient Database, and is a hospital administrative database. SAS was used to analyze the data using various statistical techniques to predict various outcomes. The data were compared to various patient demographics and specific icd9 codes that allowed us to analyze and predict the various variables involved with the specific DRG. RESULTS: After analyzing the data, it seems that most cases that deal with sprains and strains around the hip and pelvis area are mainly from youth from the age of 2-20 years old. These types of sprains and dislocation to the hip and pelvis area are also very common in athletes because they are using their hip, pelvis, or thighs on a regular basis. There were 299 cases of either sprains or strains to the hip, pelvis and thigh region and out of those 299 cases, there were 0 deaths. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of cases for DRG 237 are a result of athletic or work related activities for these areas that are used on a daily basis for the various everyday activities a person goes through. The death mortality rate for these injuries is very low and reported zero cases for the year 2006. Length of stay was attributed to how sever the patient case was and did not amount to a very long hospitalization stay which in turn lowered the total charges attributed to the patient for DRG 237.
