| DischargesCount | numeric | The total number of discharges. A hospital discharge marks the end of an episode of care. Discharges include deaths, transfers to other specialties, significant facilities and hospitals, and discharges home or to other regular place of residence. | |
| DischargesCrudeRate | numeric | The annual number of discharges relative to the size of the population, expressed per 100,000 population. The crude rate takes no account of differences between populations with regard to age and sex composition. Rates are calculated using National Records of Scotland mid-year population estimates. Populations used for the years 2002 onwards are rebased following the 2011 Census. | |
| DischargesEASR | numeric | The annual number of discharges relative to the size of the population, expressed per 100,000 population. The European Age-Sex Standardised Rate (EASR) takes into account differences between populations with regard to age and sex composition and uses the European Standard Population 2013. | |
| CISCount | numeric | The total number of continuous inpatient stays. A continuous inpatient stay is an unbroken period of time that a patient spends as an inpatient. However, a patient may change consultant, significant facility, specialty, and/or hospital during a continuous inpatient stay. As a result, information used to assign a stay to the Learning Disability specialty has to be taken from a single episode within the stay. In this report, the specialty is taken from the last episode in the stay. Moreover, stays are assigned to financial years based on the date of discharge of the last episode in the stay. | |
| CISCrudeRate | numeric | The annual number of continuous inpatient stays relative to the size of the population, expressed per 100,000 population. The crude rate takes no account of differences between populations with regard to age and sex composition. Rates are calculated using National Records of Scotland mid-year population estimates. Populations used for the years 2002 onwards are rebased following the 2011 Census. | |
| CISEASR | numeric | The annual number of continuous inpatient stays relative to the size of the population, expressed per 100,000 population.
