Health written question – answered at on 27 November 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) men and (b) women of each age have been admitted to hospital with genito-urinary injuries in each of the last five years.
The information held by the Department on this issue is in the following table. The term ‘genito-urinary injury’ does not exist in the ICD-10 Classification and the table instead includes codes which are used to classify injuries to specific genital and urinary system organs.
The table shows finished admission episodes for males and females aggregated by quinary age groups for the years 2007-08 to 2011-12. The figures refer to the number of episodes where a person was admitted to hospital with a primary or secondary diagnosis that indicated one of the specified injuries to the genital and urinary organs. It is not a count of people diagnosed with these injuries as the same person may have had more than one episode per year.

(1) Finished admission episodes (FAEs). A finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of inpatient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of inpatients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. (2) Number of episodes in which the patient had a (named) primary or secondary diagnosis The number of episodes where this diagnosis was recorded in any of the 20 (14 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and seven prior to 2002-03) primary and secondary diagnosis fields in a Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) record. Each episode is only counted once, even if the diagnosis is recorded in more than one diagnosis field of the record. ICD-10 Codes used: S37.0—Injury of kidney S37.1—Injury of ureter S37.2—Injury of bladder S37.3—Injury of urethra S37.4—Injury of ovary S37.5—Injury of fallopian tubes S37.6—Injury of uterus (3) Assessing growth through time HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in the provision of care. Source: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), Health and Social Care Information Centre |
