CPRD14

The number of hospitalisations has increased substantially over the last decade, where nearly four out of ten UK hospital admissions are unplanned. Hospitalisations have social and health implications and are an expensive part of medical care, placing high burden on national resources. People with cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, and liver disease are more likely to die than people without these conditions. It is estimated these five conditions are responsible for more than 115,000 deaths a year in England. Studies examining the trends of hospital admissions in people with these conditions are lacking.
