CPRD GOLD HES APC March 2021

HES Admitted Patient Care (HES APC) data contains details of all admissions to, or attendances at English NHS healthcare providers. It includes private patients treated in NHS hospitals, patients resident outside of England and care delivered by treatment centres (including those in the independent sector) funded by the NHS. All NHS healthcare providers in England, including acute hospital trusts, primary care trusts and mental health trusts provide data. HES APC data includes the complete set of hospital episode information (admission and discharge dates, diagnoses (identifying primary diagnosis), specialists seen under and procedures undertaken) for each linked patient with a hospitalisation record. In addition, Augmented care data (intensive and/or high dependency levels of care) and Maternity data are available. Diagnostic data recorded in HES are coded using the International Classification of Diseases version 10 (ICD10) coding frame; procedure information is coded using the UK Office of Population, Census and Surveys classification (OPCS) 4.6. Requests for HES APC data access are subject to prior protocol approval. Further information is available at https://www.cprd.com/linked-data. Coverage from April 1997 to October 2020.
