Help text: Emergency hospital admissions for falls injuries in persons aged 65-79, directly age standardised rate per 100,000.

Emergency admissions for falls injuries classified by primary diagnosis code (ICD10 code S00-T98) and external cause (ICD10 code W00-W19) and an emergency admission code (episode order number = 1, admission method starts with 2) . Age at admission 65-79. Regular and day attenders have been excluded. Admissions are only included if they have a valid Local Authority code. Regions are the sum of the Local Authorities. England is the sum of all Local Authorities and admissions coded as U (England NOS).

Hospital admissions have been used as a proxy of the prevalence of falls injuries, these are only the tip of the iceberg in relation to the health and well-being burden of falls. Inpatient hospital admissions are a proportion of falls incidents, more may present to A&E and GPs, not all of which will lead to hospital admission. This indicator only counts falls that have been coded in the cause field and Injuries in primary diagnosis field. It has been observed that there are situations where falls (ICD10 W00-W19) and Injuries (S00-T98) are coded in secondary diagnosis fields. This may result in underestimation of falls resulting in injuries.

All values between 1 and 5 have been suppressed and, where necessary, other LAs and comparators have also been suppressed in order to prevent possible disclosure and disclosure by differencing.
