</p><p>Source: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), NHS Digital</p><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><ol><li>A
finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of inpatient care under one consultant
within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year in which the admission
episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of inpatients, as a person
may have more than one admission within the year.</li><li>The government office region
of residence of the patient is derived from the patient's postcode in the field home
address.</li><li>The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 20 (14 from 2002-03 to
2006-07 and seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the HES data set and provides
the main reason why the patient was admitted to hospital.</li><li>Asthma clinical
codes used: J45 and J46</li><li>HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes
to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in
data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage
of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in National
Health Service practice. For example, apparent reductions in activity may be due to
a number of procedures which may now be undertaken in outpatient settings and so no
longer include admitted patient HES data. Conversely, apparent increases in activity
may be due to improved recording of diagnosis or procedure information.</li><li>It
should be noted that HES include activity ending in the year in question and run from
April to March, e.g. 2015-16 includes activity ending between 1 April 2015 and 31
March 2016.</li></ol>
