Inpatient hospitalizations, discharged from civilian, non-federal hospitals located in Florida, where lupus was any listed diagnosis. Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs.
Lupus can result in discomfort, lower quality of life, premature death, lost productivity and high medical costs from hospitalization. By monitoring counts and rates of hospitalizations, public health professionals can take effective and timely action to prevent increases in disease and death.
In 2023, the age-adjusted rate per 100,000 of Hospitalizations From or With Lupus as Any Listed Diagnosis in Alachua County was 43.4 compared to Florida at 58.3. The line graph shows change over time when there are at least three years of data.
Alachua County is in the second quartile for this measure. This means that relative to other counties in Florida, the age-adjusted rate per 100,000 of Hospitalizations From or With Lupus as Any Listed Diagnosis is more in about half of the counties, and less in about one quarter of the counties.
The map illustrates county data by quartile. A quartile map is presented when there are at least 51 counties with data for this measure.
Data Source: Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)
ICD-9-CM Code(s): 710.0 as any listed diagnosis. ICD-10-CM Code(s): M32.9 as any listed diagnosis.
Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.
Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.
Quartiles are calculated when data is available for at least 51 counties.
MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed. The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). When the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is greater than the MOV, the county rate is significantly different from the statewide rate. MOV should not be used to determine if the rates of two different counties, or the county rates for two different years, are statistically significantly different.
Denom - abbreviated for Denominator.
Population estimates are not available for persons whose county of residence is unknown. Given this, the denominator and associated rate are not available.
* - Indicates the county rate is statistically significantly different from the statewide rate.
