Notes
Childhood Asthma inpatient diagnosis is considered as one of the avoidable or preventable hospitalization. There has been a slight but persistent decrease in Kansas in the past five years. There was a notable drop in asthma hospitalization since 2015, the decrease may be related to the recent change in indoor clean air regulations. Starting FFY2016 (Oct 1, 2015), services must be coded with the new ICD-10 codes.
