There were 110,752 discharges in 2005, for patients over the age of 25 who were diagnosed with Diabetes. With an average length of stay being 4 days and an in-hospital death count of 1,016. In 2006 the total number of discharges increased to 118,837 while the length of stay remained at 4 days, however, the in-hospital deaths decreased to 911. Lastly, in 2007 the total number of discharges increased from 2005 but decreased from 2006 at 115,309. The total length of stay decreased by a small amount, with the average coming to 3.9 days. The in-hospital deaths had a total of 865, which means that the death total had decreased over the past 2 years.

From the information that is provided, I cannot see that there is a link between the numbers of females who died in the hospital from 2005 to 2007. The only correlation that I can see is the possibility that a shorter average length of stay, with higher discharge rates lead to a lower over-all in-hospital death rate. In 2005 the discharge number was lower than 2006 and 2007 but the death rate was higher than both of the other years.

HOW WOULD YOU GRAPH THIS?
