Inpatient hospitalizations, discharged from civilian, non-federal hospitals located in Florida, where a mood or depressive disorder was the principal diagnosis. Mood or depressive disorders include manic episodes, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, persistent mood disorders, and unspecified mood disorders.
Mental disorders, when serious and untreated, can cause significant morbidity, reduced quality of life, numerous hospitalizations and a burden to the local healthcare system. Mood disorders are particularly important contributors to disability-adjusted life years lost and to years lived with disability.
In 2023, the age-adjusted rate per 100,000 of Hospitalizations From Mood and Depressive Disorders in Alachua County was 438.7 compared to Florida at 442.9. The line graph shows change over time when there are at least three years of data.
Alachua County is in the third quartile for this measure. This means that relative to other counties in Florida, the age-adjusted rate per 100,000 of Hospitalizations From Mood and Depressive Disorders is less in about half of the counties, and more in about one quarter of the countiess.
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): 290 or 311 listed as the principal diagnosis. ICD-10-CM Code(s): F30-F39 listed as the principal 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.
