Supplementary notes

The source provides the following information: "A hospital stay is defined as an unbroken period of time that a patient spends as an inpatient or day-case. Stays are counted at the point of discharge, when all diagnostic information regarding the stay is fully available. Therefore a 'stay' and a 'discharge' are equivalent in this report."
