Caveats

  • Counts hospital episodes, not people: one person can be admitted more than once in a year.
  • Age-standardised to the 2013 European Standard Population; not a crude count divided by population.
  • Changes in same-day emergency care recording can affect comparisons over time.
  • Alcoholic liver disease is one subset of alcohol-related harm; other conditions are not counted here.
  • Confidence interval: 27.1 to 47.9 per 100,000.
  • Area-level figure. It says nothing about any individual.
  • Higher means more admissions. Not a measure of personal risk, and not a measure of how much an area drinks.
