first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider.
FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes.
Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than
one admission within the period.</p><br /><p>The primary diagnosis provides the main
reason why the patient was admitted to hospital.</p><br /><p>The costs to the National
Health Service of treating people with urinary tract infections and urinary incontinence
is not available centrally.</p><br /><p>Such information as is available is from reference
costs, which are the average unit costs of providing defined services to patients.
Reference costs for acute care are published by Healthcare Resource Group (HRG), which
are standard groupings of similar treatments that use similar resources. For example,
costs relating to kidney or urinary tract interventions are assigned to the same HRGs.</p><br
