Kids' Inpatient Database

The Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) is a nationwide collection of data on hospital stays for children in the United States. It compiles information about diagnoses, treatments, patient demographics, and healthcare outcomes from a variety of hospitals. Researchers and policymakers use KID to analyze pediatric healthcare trends, improve medical practices, and allocate resources effectively. By providing detailed, anonymized data, it helps understand the health needs of children and the quality of pediatric care across different regions and hospitals.
