Use age-adjusted rates
when you want to compare areas, for example New Jersey and U.S. data.
Use the small arrows in the table headers to sort and filter data columns.
Be aware of data issues and data notes below the data table on the results page. They give information about the dataset that anyone using the data should know.
To download data tables in Excel format, use the Export to Excel button or drag your mouse to select the output table, copy (Ctrl-C) it, and then paste (Ctrl-V) it into an Excel worksheet.
When looking for specifics on how something is measured or information about a topic or measure,
check the Indicator List or corresponding Health Topics page.
If your table is all or mostly asterisks, that means the number of events is too small to calculate a reliable rate. Filter by fewer variables, group more years together, or broaden the geographic region to get usable data.
User-defined ICD codes
Use a hyphen to indicate a range of codes, 'C00-C97'.
Use a space or a comma between codes, 'I10, I12' or 'I10 I12'.
When entering more than one code in a box, such as 'I10, I12,' the results will display all the records that have I10 or I12, combined.
Codes can be entered in separate boxes to be displayed by each separate code.

The workbook is provided by the Utah Department of Health as part of IBIS-PH, NJSHAD's "parent" system. In the workbook, you will see the IBIS-PH name and IBIS-PH's "look and feel." Otherwise, aside from minor differences, the systems are the same.
