Admission episodes for alcohol-related unintentional injuries (Narrow) for males (15529) Metric type
- Help text
- Number of male admissions to hospital where the secondary diagnoses is an alcohol-attributable unintentional injuries code.
Alcohol-related hospital admissions are used as a way of understanding the impact of alcohol on the health of a population. There are two measures used in LAPE and elsewhere to assess this burden: the Broad and the Narrow measure.
Broad definition: A measure of hospital admissions where either the primary diagnosis (main reason for admission) or one of the secondary (contributory) diagnoses is an alcohol-related condition. This represents a Broad measure of alcohol-related admissions but is sensitive to changes in coding practice over time.
Narrow definition: A measure of hospital admissions where the primary diagnosis (main reason for admission) is an alcohol-related condition. This represents a Narrower measure. Since every hospital admission must have a primary diagnosis it is less sensitive to coding practices but may also understate the part alcohol plays in the admission.
In general, the Broad measure gives an indication of the full impact of alcohol on hospital admissions and the burden placed on the NHS. The Narrow measure estimates the number of hospital admissions which are primarily due to alcohol consumption and provides the best indication of trends in alcohol-related hospital admissions.
