This option remembers your currently selected filtering criteria and display options and applies (

Restrictions/conditions:

  • This features only effects queryable datasets loaded after the apply criteria feature is enabled.
  • When a new queryable dataset is loaded, this features does NOT clean/clear any of that dataset's default selected values - it simply supplements the newly loaded dataset's selections with those values captured when the apply criteria feature was enabled.
  • When in the builder interface you can override and make additional changes (select or deselect).
  • Changes made in the builder interface are not automatically saved to the enabled apply criteria definition. However, once you have a result you can reapply the current critera by using this dialog and pressing the "Reapply" button. If you do not see this button then the apply criteria feature has not been enabled.
  • Selections are applied according to what selections are available within that given queryable dataset. For example if your apply criteria is set for years 1999-2015 and the dataset does not have 1999 then only years 2000-2015 will be selected.
  • This feature is available immediately and does not require any user login account. However, if you wish to save this definition you will need to have either a free self registered user account or a secure DOH account and be logged in to be able to save your definitions.
  • TURNING OFF: These selections will remain in effect for the length of your current session on this site. It is turned off by pressing the "Clear" button.
  • TECHNICAL NOTE: The selection's internal dimension names and values MUST match. In some instances a value's title shown to the user will look the same as the dataset's but it is stored internally with a different name or value so they do not match and thus will not be selected. As an end user there is nothing that can be done about this situation because this is something the dataset author must setup. If you see something like this please contact us and report this issue.
) to all subseqent dataset query requests. This feature can help you save time and be consistent by automatically applying your defined selections to other queryable datasets you open.

One Example:

Doing studies on different datasets like you want to look at different survey datasets for hispanic females for years 2015-2018. You want to always display a county choropleth map and a horizontal bar chart. You make those initial selections, submit your selections, enable this apply criteria feature. From then on, those selections are automatically applied (as much as possible) to all subsequent queryable datasets you open.

Name Field

Unique name of this query definition. The name value needs to be a unique value within YOUR list of saved query definitions. The name value is used as part of the HTTP request URL to reference this query definition.

It is recommend you name your definitions in a consistent manner to help referencing and sharing with others. Names can be up to 250 characters long and can not contain spaces or special characters. Valid values for a name include upper and/or lower case alphabetic characters (A-z), and/or numeric values (0-9), and/or a dash or underscore that can be used as a seperator ("-", and/or "_").

If you name this definition the same name as an existing definition you will overwrite the current definition with this new one.

Title Field

The title value is the title you will see on your query definition selection lists. It is recommended that you keep your titles and unique so that they are meaningful, consistent, and easily identifyable. Titles can be a maximum length of 250 characters long. Use the "Description" field to list any extra details or notes that you'd like to have associated with this definition.

Description Field

The "Description" entry is provided as a place that you can store any notes or special descriptions that will allow you to use that definition. This can include descriptions like intended studies, limitations, and notes that can be used to help you remember what this definition was intended to be used for. A synopsis of the selections can also prove to be helpful but are not needed as the definition detail provides all of the selections. This field shows up on the list pages as an information popup next to the definition's title text.

Keep Definition Private Checkbox

The "Keep Private" checkbox controls if you want your query definition to be listable by other users. If checked then a user can not see this definition when they make a list request of your definitions.

Query Criteria

Measure Description:Number of inpatient hospital admissions for Acute Myocardial Infarction (heart attack, primary diagnosis only) among persons aged 35 years or older per 10,000 population
Single Years Filter: 2024
Data Grouped By:County

  • **The estimate has been suppressed because the number of events and population size are small and not appropriate for publication, or it could be used to calculate the number in a cell that has been suppressed.
  • #This count or rate is statistically unstable (RSE >0.30), and may fluctuate widely across time periods due to random variation (chance). Please use caution in interpreting this value, or combine years, areas, or age groups to increase the population size.
  • ##The estimate has a relative standard error greater than 50% and does not meet standards for reliability. A count or rate such as this should not be used to inform decisions. Try combining years, areas, or age groups to increase the population size.

Data Notes

  • Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) Hospitalization Metadata

    For the complete metadata file, including the ICD codes used to identify an Acute Myocardial Infarction hospital visit, please see the [[a href=dataportal/metadata/AMI_In-stateHospitalizations.html Acute Myocardial Infarction Hospitalization metadata file.]]

  • {{class BoldTeal Imputed Population Estimates}}

    {{class TealText NOTE: The 2024 data in this HIDD query are final, however 2024 population estimates were not available at the time the HIDD data were prepared. 2023 population estimates have been used to calculate rates.}}

  • Hospital Visit Definition

    This Environmental Public Health Tracking query defines the year and month using the date of admission rather than date of discharge. The data include inpatient visits to general acute care hospitals only and excludes newborns and visits to New Mexico hospitals by out-of-state residents.

  • Statistical Stability

    Problems with statistical instability (indicated by a # or ## symbol in the right column of the data table, above) typically occur when there is a small number of health events in a small population. For more information on statistical stability, visit the NM-IBIS [https://ibis.doh.nm.gov/resource/ReliabilityValidity.html Reliability and Validity] page.

  • International Classification of Disease (ICD) Codes

    ICD Stands for International Classification of Diseases. It is a coding system maintained by the World Health Organization and the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics used to classify causes of death on death certificates and diagnoses, injury causes, and medical procedures for hospital and emergency department visits. These codes are updated every decade or so to account for advances in medical technology. The U.S. is currently using the 10th revision (ICD-10) to code causes of death. The 9th revision (ICD-9) was still used for hospital and emergency department visits until October 2015.

Data Issues

  • Hospital Inpatient Discharge Data (HIDD)

    The hospital inpatient discharge data include visits to NON-FEDERAL HOSPITALS only. Visits to Veteran's Administration (VA) facilities and Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities have not been included, unless specifically stated otherwise. Results from this query should not be used to make population inferences for New Mexico's American Indian populations. The data include all hospital visits. Persons with multiple hospital visits will be counted multiple times. By default, these query results include records for in-hospital deaths. Users wishing to query only non-fatal hospitalizations should filter the data to include all discharge statuses OTHER than **EXPIRED**. Transfer visits have not been removed from the dataset. Patients who were transferred from one facility to another will have data records at each facility. For inpatient visits with a diagnosis of "childbirth", data records for mothers have been included, but the data records for newborns have excluded from the HIDD queries. The ICD coding system, maintained by the World Health Organization and the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, is used to classify diagnoses for hospital and emergency department visits. This coding system underwent a major revision from version 9 to version 10 that went into effect October 1, 2015. In most cases, the two versions do not provide comparable results, and the two time periods should not be combined in a single query. The hospital inpatient dataset includes only New Mexico residents hospitalized in New Mexico hospitals and do not include visits for New Mexico residents who visited a hospital in another state. In cases of serious injuries near the state borders, oftentimes patients will be transported to a nearby trauma center in the bordering state.

  • New Mexico Population Estimates

    {{class RedText NOTE: On January 16, 2025, the NM-IBIS and NMTracking POPULATION ESTIMATES FOR YEARS **2010 THROUGH 2023** WERE REPLACED. Data from the 2020 decennial census were used to update the estimates. Rates calculated using the NM-IBIS and NMTracking web-based queries are affected. Any rates that use population denominators that were calculated after January 16, 2025 will be different from those calculated prior to that date. We apologize for the inconvenience.}} All population estimates apply to July 1 of the selected year. These estimates are considered the most accurate estimates for the state of New Mexico and should match those found on the University of New Mexico [https://gps.unm.edu/pop/population-estimates.html Geospatial and Population Studies website]. Estimates include decimal fractions. Census tract population estimates were summed to produce County estimates. Population estimate totals may vary slightly due to rounding.
