This study aimed to investigate the trends in diseases of the digestive system hospital admissions (DDSHA) in England and Wales between (1999–2019). Secondary objectives were to investigate the type of admission and medication prescribing related to the digestive system in England. This is an ecological study using data from the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) database and the Patient Episode Database between April 1999 and March 2019. The rate of hospital admissions with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated by dividing the number of DDSHA by the mid-year population. The trend in hospital admissions was assessed using a Poisson model. Overall, the rate of DDSHA rose by 84.2% (from 2231.27 [95% CI 2227.26–2235.28] in 1999 to 4109.33 [95% CI 4104.29–4114.38] in 2019 per 100,000 persons, trend test, P < .001). The most remarkable rise in hospital admission was seen in liver diseases, followed by other diseases of intestines with 1.85-fold, and 1.59-fold, respectively. Between 2004 and 2019, the overall prescribing rate for medications related to the gastrointestinal system increased by 74.6%, and stoma care related medications prescribing rate increased by 2.25-fold, followed by drugs affecting intestinal secretions and antisecretory drugs and mucosal protectants. There was an increase in hospital admission rate due to GI diseases in the United Kingdom (UK) by 84.2% from 1999 to 2019. The most remarkable rise in the rate of hospital admissions was seen in diseases of the liver and intestine.

“…Between 1999 and 2020 in England, the total number of finished consultant episodes involving procedures and interventions related to the respiratory tract among patients aged below 15 years increased by 2.17-fold from 22,259 to 70,614. 41,42 Furthermore, from 1999 to 2019, hospital admission rates for respiratory system diseases and "musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases" among patients aged below 15 years in England and Wales saw substantial increases of 34.0% 43 and 45.9%, 44 respectively. Additionally, in line with our findings, intra-operative and post-procedural complications and disorders of the musculoskeletal system-related hospital admission rates among patients aged below 15 years increased by 17.9% in England and Wales.…”

To analyze the hospitalization patterns associated with postprocedural complications among the pediatric population in England and Wales over the past two decades. Patients and Methods: This was an ecological study using hospital admission data extracted from the Hospital Episode Statistics database in England and the Patient Episode Database for Wales for the period between April 1999 and April 2020. Postprocedural complications related hospital admissions were identified using the 10 th version of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD) system (D78, E89, H59, H95, J95, L76, M96, and N99). Results: The rate of hospital admissions declined by 2.1% [from 8.32 (95% CI 7.75-8.88) per 100,000 persons in 1999 to 8.15 (95% CI 7.61-8.68) per 100,000 persons in 2020, p>0.05]. The primary reasons for hospital admissions associated with postprocedural complications were related to the respiratory system, genitourinary system, and ear and mastoid process, constituting 43.0%, 23.8%, and 23.0% of cases, respectively. Conclusion:The trend of postprocedural complications among the pediatric population has been stable in the past two decades. Continuous monitoring of the hospitalization pattern for this type of complication is important due to advancements in healthcare provision and to improve patient care and safety. Future studies are needed to examine gender-based differences related to postprocedural complications and identify important preventable risk factors.

Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is also known as degenerative joint disease and is considered the major cause of joint pain and disability. Furthermore, OA is the most common, costly, and disabling form of joint diseases. The objective of this study is to explore the hospital admission profile due to OA between the period 1999 and 2019 in England and Wales. Method This is an ecological study that used health care data in the United Kingdom. Patients who were hospitalized for OA in England and Wales between 1999 and 2019 formed the study population. The Hospital Episode Statistics in England and the Patient Episode Database for Wales databases were used in this study. The difference in the admission rate during the study period was estimated using the chi-squared test. Results The admission rate during the study period increased by 112.1% for all hospital admission related to OA. The most common type of admission was related to gonarthrosis, which accounted for 46.7% of the total number of admissions for OA. The increase in admission rate across different types of admissions related to OA was not consistent. The highest increase in the admission rate was observed for polyarthrosis (604.6%). Admission rates related to OA were observed to be directly related to age. The highest increase in the admission rate during the study period was for the age group of 15-59 years (102.1%). Admission rate due to OA was higher among females compared to males. Conclusion The increase in admission rates for the various OA-related admissions was not consistent. This study found that the age range of 15 to 59 years experienced the greatest increase in admission rates. Female gender is a high risk factor for OA, especially in women around menopause.
