hospitalization rate
Inpatient admission proportion
Hospitalization rate is a measure of how many people in a population are admitted to hospitals during a given period, typically expressed per 100,000 people.
The metric helps track disease severity, healthcare burden, and public health trends: COVID hospitalization rates spiked during the winter surge.
It's distinct from infection rate, which counts cases regardless of severity.
