Developing Event-Level Estimates Sample Clauses

Developing Event-Level Estimates. The data in this file can be used to develop national 2010 event-level estimates for the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population on prescribed medicine purchases (events) as well as expenditures, and sources of payment for these purchases. Estimates of total number of purchases are the sum of the weight variable (PERWT10F) across relevant event records while estimates of other variables must be weighted by PERWT10F to be nationally representative. The tables below contain event-level estimates for selected variables. Selected Event (Purchase) Level Estimates All Prescribed Medicine Purchases Number of purchases (in millions) PERWT10F 3273.4 (83.93) Mean total payments per purchase RXXP10X $83 (1.7) Mean out-of-pocket payment per purchase RXSF10X $18 (0.4) Mean proportion of expenditures paid by private insurance per purchase RXPV10X /RXXP10X 0.171 (0.0044) Number of purchases (in millions) PERWT10F 233.1 (6.99) Mean total payments per purchase RXXP10X $86 (2.7) Mean annual total payments per person RXXP10X (aggregated across purchases within person) $505 (16.2) Example by Associated Condition: Hypertension (RXICD1X = “401” or RXICD2X = “401” or RXICD3X = “401”) Number of purchases (in millions) PERWT10F 514.4 (16.24) Mean total payments per purchase RXXP10X $40 (0.9) Mean annual total payments per person RXXP10X (aggregated across purchases within person) $367 (9.1)
