| Abstract | Data on hospital treatments of diseases (episodes) can be presented in several ways. Hospital treatments given to one patient can be shown in four different ways depending on the method of data aggregation used: - hospitalizations (aggregated episodes), - hospital treatments (aggregated episodes) by specialty, - hospital treatments (aggregated episodes) by diagnosis, - hospital treatments (aggregated episodes) by speciality and diagnosis. Hospitalization (hospital-based treatment) is a set of episodes, i. e. in-patient health services given to a patient in one hospital. These episodes delivered to one patient can be aggregated also by specialty and thus correspond to hospital "cases". For a more clear presentation of data on morbidity and hospital stay required for each disease, treatment episodes are aggregated by the main diagnosis. A patient receiving several treatment episodes for different diagnoses in one hospital thus appears several times in the aggregated collection of hospital treatments. As a result the number of episodes aggregated by diagnosis is usually higher than the number of hospitalisations. Treatment episodes can be aggregated within the framework of the hospital and within each specialty. Since the basic collection of data serves as the basis for aggregating treatment episodes, the number of hospitalisations may differ from the number of in-patient treatments within one specialty, i. e. from the number of hospital "cases". In 2000, 266,922 hospitalizations were required because of diseases (135.0 per 1,000 inhabitants), an increase of 1.2% on 1999. There were 117,698 hospitalisations of men (122.9 per 1,000 inhabitants) and 149,224 of women (146,4 per 1,000 inhabitants). The patients were most frequently admitted because of neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the digestive tract, genitourinary diseases and respiratory diseases. The average length of stay was 9.5 days. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters) | |
| Summary | Individualne podatke o bolnišničnih obravnavah zaradi bolezni (epizode) lahko prikažemo na več načinov. Glede na način združevanja epizod pri posameznem bolniku ločimo štiri zbirke bolnišničnih obravnav: - zbirka hospitalizacij (agregiranih epizod), - zbirka bolnišničnih obravnav (agregiranih epizod) po specialnostih, - zbirka bolnišničnih obravnav (agregiranih epizod) po diagnozah, zbirka bolnišničnih obravnav (agregiranih epizod) po specialnostih in diagnozah. Če združimo vse epizode pri bolniku, ki se je zdravil v neki bolnišnici, dobimo hospitalizacijo. Podobno lahko združimo vse epizode pri enem bolniku v okviru posamezne specialnosti in dobimo zbirko epizod, agregiranih po specialnostih. Te ustrezajo bolnišničnim "primerom". Za prikaz bolnišnične obolevnosti in trajanja hospitalizacije zaradi posameznih bolezni epizode združujemo tudi glede na glavno diagnozo. Če je bolnik imel več epizod zdravljenja v eni bolnišnici in glavna diagnoza ni bila v vseh epizodah enaka, je bolnik v tej zbirki bolnišničnih obravnav večkrat prikazan. Zato je število epizod, agregiranih po diagnozah, običajno večje od števila hospitalizacij. Agregacija epizod po diagnozah je možna v okviru bolnišnice kot tudi v okviru posamezne specialnosti. Pri združevanju epizod izhajamo vedno iz osnovne zbirke podatkov (zbirka epizod), zato število hospitalizacij tudi ni nujno enako vsoti števila bolnišničnih obravnav v okviru posameznih specialnosti oziroma vsoti števila "primerov".
