Description:
CPRD GOLD linked Hospital Episode Statistics Admitted Patient Care (HES APC) data contain details of all admissions to, or attendances at English NHS healthcare providers. This includes private patients treated in NHS hospitals, patients resident outside of England and care delivered by treatment centres (including those in the independent sector) funded by the NHS. All NHS healthcare providers in England, including acute hospital trusts, primary care trusts and mental health trusts, provide data.
HES APC data include the complete set of hospital episode information (admission and discharge dates, diagnoses (identifying primary diagnosis), specialists seen under and procedures undertaken) for each linked patient with a hospitalisation record. In addition, Augmented care data (intensive and/or high dependency levels of care) and Maternity data are available.
