Notes:
1. Total all-listed procedures represents the total number of procedures performed; up to 6 procedures
may be recorded per discharge, as a result
 the total number of all-listed procedures can exceed the total number of discharges.
2. Procedures were classified using AHRQ's HCUP procedure class software. See AHRQ's website for
more information:

3. Percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
