Admission episodes for alcohol-related conditions (Narrow) for persons, directly age-standardised rate per 100,000 population (15552) Metric type
- Help text
- Rate of admissions (Narrow) to hospital where the primary diagnosis is an alcohol-attributable code or a secondary diagnosis is an alcohol-attributable external cause code. Directly age standardised rate per 100,000 population (standardised to the European standard population).
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.
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.
