| SIMDQuintile | text | The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) uses a wide range of information for small areas (data zones) to identify concentrations of multiple deprivation across Scotland. The data zones are then arranged in five groups (quintiles), ranging from the most deprived (1 - contains the 20% most deprived data zones) to the least deprived (5 - contains the 20% least deprived datazones). The SIMD version used depends on the years in question. More information can be found in the PHS Deprivation Guidance (Version 3.4, Section 3.2, pg 12): https://www.isdscotland.org/Products%2Dand%2DServices/GPD%2DSupport/Deprivation/. Postcode matching is used to determine the deprivation quintile for a particular patient; specifically, the postcode used to attribute a deprivation quintile is the last postcode that the patient is recorded under during each 6-year period. As this is not possible for a few incorrect or invalid postcodes, the numbers here will be slightly lower than the Scotland total in other tables. | |
| PatientsCount | numeric | The total number of patients. Patients are counted only once in each 6-year period under consideration here, regardless of whether they have had multiple discharges. Please note that the data includes Scotland residents only. | |
| PatientsEASR | numeric | The number of patients 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. |
