Hospital Activity
This page has not changed since its previous publication in February 2011.
Information on hospital activity is drawn from a database of inpatient and day case discharge summaries maintained by ISD. A discharge summary is completed when a patient leaves hospital or transfers within or between hospitals and these capture basic clinical information about the diagnoses and operations that patients had.
Key points (from February 2011 release):
- The male age-sex standardised discharge rate for stroke has decreased from 269.1 per 100,000 in 2000/01 to 257.7 per 100,000 in 2009/10, a decrease of 4.2% and for females from 190.8 per 100,000 in 2000/01 to 183.7 per 100,000 in 2009/10, a decrease of 3.7% (see Tables AS1, AS2 and AS4).
- Although there are more cerebrovascular disease discharges for women than men, the standardised discharge rates for men are higher - this is because the female patients are older (see Table AS1).
- Cerebrovascular disease age-sex standardised discharge rate for males has decreased by 4.0% between 2000/01 and 2009/10 (see Tables AS1, AS2 and AS4).
- The female age-sex standardised discharge rate for subarachnoid haemorrhage continues to be higher than that for males (see Tables AS1, AS2 and AS4).
