AIHW - Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) - Hospitalisations - Excluding Dialysis by Sex and Age (PHA) 2012-2015

This dataset presents the statistics of hospitalisations with a principal diagnosis associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) excluding principal diagnosis of dialysis distributed by sex and age for the years between 2012-2015. The data is and is aggregated to the 2011 Public Health Information Development Unit (PHIDU) Population Health Areas (PHA), based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).\n\nThe CKD datasets were released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) to present data on prevalence, treatment (hospitalisations for CKD and dialysis) and deaths. It shows the distribution of the impact of CKD across Australia and visualises rates of CKD and the health and demographic profile for local areas.\n\nThe data was modelled by the AIHW from The National Hospital Morbidity Database (NHMD) which is compiled from data supplied by the state and territories. Hospitalisation counts are counts of admitted patient episodes of care not individual patients, and would include multiple hospitalisations experienced by the same individual if the individual had more than one hospitalisation for CKD in the given time period.\n\nFor further information about this dataset, please visit:\n\n * [AIHW Geographical variation in chronic kidney disease data.](https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/chronic-kidney-disease/geographical-variation-ckd/data)\n\n * [AIHW Geographical variation in chronic kidney disease report.](https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/chronic-kidney-disease/geographical-variation-ckd/contents/contents)\n\nPlease note:\n\n * AURIN has spatially enabled the original data using the [PHIDU - PHAs.](http://phidu.torrens.edu.au/help-and-information/about-our-data/geographical-structures#population-health-areas)\n\n * Where data has not been published due to small numbers, "n.p." in the original data, the value has been set to null.\n\n * Where values have been identified to have a relative root mean square error (RRMSE), a new column has been added where "*" presents an RRMSE between 25% and 50%. This data should be used with caution.\n\n * These counts do not include home dialysis services received by patients and dialysis treatment completed in Emergency Department before their hospital admission.\n

本数据集呈现了2012至2015年间，以慢性肾脏病（chronic kidney disease, CKD）为主要诊断（排除以透析为主要诊断的病例）的住院统计数据，数据按性别与年龄分组，并基于2011年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS），聚合至2011年公共卫生信息发展单元（Public Health Information Development Unit, PHIDU）设立的人口健康区（Population Health Areas, PHA）。

澳大利亚健康与福利研究所（Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, AIHW）发布了本慢性肾脏病数据集，用于展示慢性肾脏病的患病率、治疗（含慢性肾脏病住院治疗与透析治疗）及死亡相关数据。该数据集直观呈现了慢性肾脏病在澳大利亚全国范围内的影响分布，并可视化展示了各地方区域的慢性肾脏病发病率以及健康与人口统计特征。

本数据集由AIHW基于国家医院病案数据库（National Hospital Morbidity Database, NHMD）建模生成，该数据库由澳大利亚各州及领地报送的数据汇编而成。此处的住院计数指的是入院患者照护疗程数，而非患者个体数；若同一患者在统计时段内因慢性肾脏病多次住院，则其每次住院均会被计入统计。

请注意：

* AURIN已依托[PHIDU-人口健康区](http://phidu.torrens.edu.au/help-and-information/about-our-data/geographical-structures#population-health-areas)对原始数据完成空间适配处理。
* 原始数据中因样本量过小未予发布、标记为“n.p.”的条目，已被统一设置为空值（null）。
* 经检测存在相对均方根误差（relative root mean square error, RRMSE）的数值项，已新增一列进行标注，其中“*”代表相对均方根误差介于25%至50%之间，使用此类数据时请谨慎行事。
* 本统计计数不包含患者接受的居家透析服务，以及患者入院前在急诊科完成的透析治疗。
