TABLE 3.11: Hipe Report: Acute In-Patient Discharges (excl. Maternity): Mean Length of Stay (Days) by Principal Diagnosis, Sex and Age Group, 2014

Presents the acute in-patient mean length of stay for principal Diagnosis by sex and age group. The analysis presented here is limited to the mean length of stay for acute in-patient Discharges (excl. Maternity) with a length of stay of 30 days or less, and excluding day patients. It should also be noted that the analysis by mean length of stay does not take into account the status of the patient on discharge. Activity in Acute Public Hospitals in Ireland Annual Report, 2014, is a report on in-patient and day patient Discharges from acute public hospitals participating in the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) scheme in 2014. Charging activity is Examined by type of patient and hospital, and by demographic parameters. Certain issues of relevance to the Irish health care system covered in the report relate to the composition of Discharges by medical card and public/private status. Charges are also analysed by diagnoses, procedures, major Diagnostic categories, and Diagnosis related groups. Maternity Discharges are Examined separately from other Discharges. The analysis is presented at the national level. In 2014 HIPE Discharges were coded using ICD-10-AM/Achi/ACS 6th Edition and grouped into AR-DRG Version 6.0. See the complete Activity in Acute Public Hospitals in Ireland Annual Report 2014 at http://www.hpo.ie/latest_hipe_nprs_reports/HIPE_2014/HIPE_Report_2014.pdf本数据集按性别与年龄组统计了主要诊断（principal Diagnosis）下的急性住院患者（acute in-patient）平均住院时长（mean length of stay）。本次分析仅针对住院时长不超过30天的急性住院出院病例（不含产科（Maternity）病例），且排除日间患者（day patients）的平均住院时长进行统计。同时需注意，本次基于平均住院时长的分析未考虑患者出院时的状态。《2014年爱尔兰急性公立医院诊疗活动年度报告》针对2014年参与医院住院患者调查（Hospital In-Patient Enquiry, HIPE）计划的急性公立医院的住院患者与日间患者出院病例展开统计分析。报告按患者类型、医院类型以及人口统计学参数对收费活动进行分析。报告中涉及的与爱尔兰医疗体系相关的若干议题，涵盖了按医疗卡（medical card）持有情况与公/私医保身份划分的出院病例构成。收费情况还会按诊断类别、手术操作、主要诊断分类（major Diagnostic categories）以及诊断相关分组（Diagnosis related groups）进行分析。产科出院病例与其他出院病例分开单独统计。本次分析以全国层面为统计范围。2014年HIPE统计的出院病例采用ICD-10-AM/Achi/ACS 第6版进行编码，并被归入AR-DRG Version 6.0版本分组。完整报告可通过以下链接查阅：http://www.hpo.ie/latest_hipe_nprs_reports/HIPE_2014/HIPE_Report_2014.pdf
