AIHW - Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) - Hospitalisations - Excluding Dialysis by Sex (PHN) 2014-2015

This dataset presents the statistics of hospitalisations with a principal diagnosis associated with chronic kidney disease excluding principal diagnosis of dialysis distributed by sex for the years between 2014-2015. The data is aggregated to 2015 Primary Health Network (PHN) geographic boundaries based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).\n\nThe chronic kidney disease (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 [Department of Health - PHN Areas.](https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/PHN-Home)\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2014-2015年间，按性别划分的、主要诊断为慢性肾病（chronic kidney disease, CKD，不含透析相关主要诊断）的住院人次统计数据。数据基于2011年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS），聚合至2015年初级卫生网络（Primary Health Network, PHN）的地理边界。

慢性肾病（CKD）数据集由澳大利亚卫生与福利研究所（Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, AIHW）发布，旨在呈现慢性肾病的患病率、治疗（慢性肾病住院与透析治疗）及死亡相关数据。该数据集展示了慢性肾病在澳大利亚各地的影响分布，并可视化了各地区的慢性肾病发病率、健康状况与人口统计特征。

本数据集由AIHW基于全国医院发病数据库（National Hospital Morbidity Database, NHMD）构建，该数据库由澳大利亚各州及领地提供的数据汇编而成。此处的住院人次统计的是患者就诊住院时段的数量，而非独立患者个体数量；若同一患者在指定时段内因慢性肾病多次住院，则多次住院均会被纳入统计。

请注意：

* AURIN已基于澳大利亚卫生署发布的初级卫生网络区域数据，对原始数据集完成空间启用处理。
* 若因数据量过小未予发布，原始数据中的"n.p."将被统一设为空值（null）。
* 若数据经检测存在相对均方根误差（relative root mean square error, RRMSE），则会新增一列，以星号（*）标注相对均方根误差介于25%至50%之间的数据。使用此类数据时需谨慎。
* 本次统计的住院人次不包含患者接受的居家透析服务，以及入院前在急诊科完成的透析治疗。
