Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) is the only all-payer pediatric inpatient care database in the United States, containing data from approximately two million hospital stays. Its large sample size is ideal for developing national and regional estimates and enables analyses of rare conditions, such as congenital anomalies, as well as uncommon treatments, such as organ transplantation. The following links provide detailed documentation for the KID.
