For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed.
MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events.Quartiles are calculated when data are available for at least 51 counties.Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.All population-based rates are calculated using July 1 Florida population estimates from the Florida Legislature, Office of Economic and Demographic Research.Data are suppressed when there are 1 to 4 hospitalizations in a year.Consequently increases or decreases starting in 2015 may not be due to changes in disease trends but due to changes in coding. Hospitalization data before October 2015 use ICD-9-CM starting in October 2015, hospitalization data use ICD-10-CM. Effective October 1, 2015, the ICD 9th Revision Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) transitioned to ICD 10th Revision Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM). Large increases or decreases in hospitalizations are typically indicative of such changes. To keep abreast of medical knowledge, the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is revised periodically.

ICD-10-CM Code(s): G40 or G41 as any listed diagnosis.

When fewer than 51 counties have data or zero values, no quartile map will be presented. The map illustrates county data by quartile. This means that relative to other counties in Florida, the age-adjusted rate per 100,000 of Hospitalizations from Epilepsy is less in about three quarters of the counties. The line graph shows change over time when there are at least three years of data.Īlachua County is in the fourth quartile for this measure. In 2020, the age-adjusted rate per 100,000 of Hospitalizations from Epilepsy in Alachua County was 557.3 compared to Florida at 384.8. By monitoring counts and rates of hospitalizations, public health professionals can take effective and timely action to prevent increases in disease and death. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness or convulsions, associated with abnormal electrical activity in the brain.Įpilepsy can result in discomfort, lower quality of life, premature death, lost productivity and high medical costs from hospitalization. Inpatient hospitalizations, discharged from civilian, non-federal hospitals located in Florida, where epilepsy was any listed diagnosis.
