Nationwide Inpatient Sample is the largest all-payer inpatient care database in the United States and contains data from \u22481000 hospitals, which is a 20% stratified sample of US community hospitals.

The mean hospitalization charges were $10 876, $17 187, and $38 200 for patients hospitalized for \u22641, 2 to 6, and \u22657 days, respectively.
