Abstract:

In 1981, the highest North Carolina county hospital discharge rate was more than triple the lowest rate. Variation in general hospital utilization rates among the counties in North Carolina is depicted and analyzed. This article also serves as a brief review of the use of multiple regression and correlation analysis in health care studies.
