The Health and Social Care Information Centre collects data on the number of hospital admission episodes for hepatitis C. This does not reflect the actual number of children admitted to hospital, because the same child may have had more than one admission episode within the same time period. The data held by the Health and Social Care Information Centre are as follows:<\/p>

Further information on these proportions can be found at:<\/p> <\/p> www.nwph.net/nwpho/publications/AlcoholAttributableFractions.pdf<\/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> The AAF 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> 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> 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> <\/strong><\/p> 2<\/sup>Assessing growth through time (Admitted patient care)<\/p> Hospital Episode Statistic 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> <\/strong><\/p> Source:<\/em>Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), The NHS Information Centre for Health & Social Care<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p>"}
