Alcohol–related admissions</p><p> </p><p>The number of alcohol-related admissions is based on the methodology developed by the North West Public Health Observatory (NWPHO), which uses 48 indicators for alcohol-related illnesses, determining the proportion of a wide range of diseases and injuries that can be partly attributed to alcohol as well as those that are, by definition, wholly attributable to alcohol. Further information on these proportions can be found at http://www.nwph.net/nwpho/publications/AlcoholAttributableFractions.pdf</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The AAF is set to 1 (100%) where the admission is considered to be entirely due to alcohol, e.g. in the case of alcoholic liver disease - these records are described as wholly alcohol attributable.</p><p> </p><p>The alcohol attributable fraction is set to a value greater than 0 but less than 1 according to the NWPHO definition, e.g. the alcohol fraction of an admission with a primary diagnosis of C00 - malignant neoplasm of lip, where the patient is male and between 65 and 74 is 0.44 - these records are described as partly alcohol attributable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>These wholly and partly attributable fractions can be aggregated to supply an estimate of activity which can be considered wholly or partly attributable to alcohol.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Partly AAFs are not applicable to children under 16. Therefore figures for this age group relate only to wholly-attributable admissions, where the attributable fraction is one.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>2. Finished admission episodes</p><p> </p><p>A finished admission episode (FAE) is the 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><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>3. &quot;Total&quot; Strategic Health Authority of Treatment</p><p> </p><p>Note that the &quot;Total&quot; SHA of Treatment includes patients treated in Wales.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
