Statistics is a branch of applied mathematics which includes the planning, summarizing, and interpreting of uncertain observations.
The word statistics comes from the modern Latin phrase statisticum collegium (lecture about state affairs), from which came the Italian word statista, which means "statesman" or "politician" (compare to status) and the German Statistik, originally designating the analysis of data about the state.
In these disciplines, data often are collected outside the control of the person doing the analysis, and the result of the analysis may be more an operational model than a consensus report about the world.

Hospitalization data for the United States were obtained from published reports from the National Hospital Discharge Survey,[4] which is administered by the National Center for Health Statistics in Hyattsville, MD.
