21st June 2016 - New report - Using routinely collected data to compare hospital admission rates by ethnic group in Scotland

This new report examines whether ethnicity coding is now of sufficient quality and completeness within routinely collected hospital data to allow regular publication and analysis of these data.  This report presents the first national analyses across Scotland for all-cause hospitalisation rates, and those for coronary heart disease, presenting standardised rate ratios for ethnic groups relative to the White Scottish reference population.

See the report's publication page for further details and to download the report.
