Definition

Number of hospitalizations of children under 18 for conditions that are typically dealt with successfully through prevention measures offered within primary care (such as asthma, dental problems).  Rate is expressed per 1,000 children under 18.

If no number is listed, the count has been suppressed for confidentiality purposes.

NOTE: The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services reported in 2026 that, due to changes in federal data reporting practices, they will no longer report this indicator. The final year reported for KIDS COUNT is therefore the last year these data are available: 2023.
