After a case definition process using both chief complaints and diagnosis codes, the study obtained population-based visit rates and revealed age- and county-specific problems consistent over three full years ending 30Jun2011 and worsening in selected counties. The state total ED burden for oral health problems was ~2% (0.2% - 9.7% by county).}, number={1}, journal={Online Journal of Public Health Informatics}, author={Burkom, Howard and Burrer, Sherry and Barker, Laurie and Robison, Valerie and Hicks, Peter and Ising, Amy}, year={2013}, month={Mar.} }
