The 2012 CCAE contains 1.1 billion inpatient and outpatient claims records for 53 million employees and their dependents. The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids’ Inpatient Database (KID) from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is the largest publicly-available all-payer pediatric inpatient database in the US. KID data have been available every 3 years since 1997, and are weighted to provide national estimates. The 2012 KID contains 3.2 million birth and hospitalization discharge records for children and adolescents.

MAX data are structured similarly to the CCAE. The 2009 MAX contains 2.3 billion inpatient and outpatient claims records for almost 68 million child and adult beneficiaries.
