Cause of Illness Data

This page links to reports and data on the incidence/prevalence & mortality for several chronic disease topics.

See also:

• Healthcare Quality for sites with data on infection rates in the hospital setting
• Mortality Data for sites to create tables by cause of illness, sex, race/ethnicity, age, and geography.
