</p><p>1. A finished consultant episode (FCE) is a continuous period of admitted patient
care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FCEs are counted against
the year in which they end. Figures do not represent the number of different patients,
as a person may have more than one episode of care within the same stay in hospital
or in different stays in the same year.</p><p> </p><p>2. The number of episodes where
the procedure (or intervention) was recorded in any of the 24 (12 from 2002-03 to
2006-07 and 4 prior to 2002-03) procedure fields in a Hospital Episode Statistics
(HES) record. A record is only included once in each count, even if the procedure
is recorded in more than one procedure field of the record. Note that more procedures
are carried out than episodes with a main or secondary procedure.</p><p> </p><p>3.
Coding used includes replacements, revisions and conversions of both hip replacements
and hemiarthroplasty.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><em>Source:</em> Hospital Episode
