</p><p><em>Notes:</em></p><p> </p><p><sup>1</sup>Finished admission Episodes (FAEs)</p><p>A
FAE is the first period of inpatient 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 inpatients, as a person may have
more than one admission within the period.</p><p> </p><p><sup>2</sup>Number of episodes
in which the patient had a primary or secondary diagnosis</p><p>The number of episodes
where this diagnosis was recorded in any of the 20 (14 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and
7 prior to 2002-03) primary and secondary diagnosis fields in a Hospital Episode Statistics
(HES) record. Each episode is only counted once, even if the diagnosis is recorded
in more than one diagnosis field of the record.</p><p> </p><p><sup>3</sup>ICD-10 diagnosis

</p><p><sup>4</sup>Assessing growth through time (Admitted patient care)</p><p>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 NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be
due to changes in the provision of care.</p><p> </p><p>Data quality:</p><p>HESs are
compiled from data sent by more than 300 NHS trusts and primary care trusts in England
and from some independent sector organisations for activity commissioned by the English
NHS. Health and Social Care Information Centre liaises closely with these organisations
to encourage submission of complete and valid data and seeks to minimise inaccuracies.
While this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain.</p><p> </p><p>Activity
