Calendar-year series
Hospital trends, 2012 to 2024
Each year includes that year's comparable general acute hospitals, using the latest record when a facility reported more than once. The cohort therefore changes from year to year. A measure is shown only when the source file has the fields it needs. A dash marks a year without a comparable value.
