Argentina Hospital Discharges by Diagnosis 2008. Provides discharge data from public sector, inpatient care facilities for 2008. National university facilities and those in the private and social insurance fund sectors are not included in the data.

Diagnoses are coded in ICD-10 and grouped into 80 categories. The data are broken down by province, sex, and 5-year-age groups, and represent a single, principal diagnosis for each period of hospitalization. Data from the province of Santiago del Estero are not included for 2008. The report provides further details on coverage gaps. Tabulations only.
