| Answer To Question 1: Please see responses to the questions below - and the limitations with the data available. Notes: The Trust cannot directly answer 鈥榟ow many tibial fractures鈥� for the following reasons: 鈥� Some ICD10 codes are for 'multiple' fractures 鈥� The same patient may have been readmitted for the same/different fracture 鈥� Our data is not collated in a way that allows us to count the number of ICD10 codes within an episode e.g. the same episode could have codes S820 & S821 but the Trust only collate this within 'one episode' 鈥� The Trust cannot count the number of individual episodes as the same fracture could be coded multiple times The Trust are therefore supplying the number of discharges where these types of fractures were treated. The Trust does not record specifically which hospital a patient was referred on to, so this answer is for all discharges to code 51 - NHS other Hospital Provider - WARD for general PATIENTS or the younger physically disabled and therefore could include hospitals other than Southampton Hospital. Q1. Between June 2016 and June 2020 how many tibial fractures (or lower limb fractures) were treated at 69老湿机福利 Hospital A: 1165 discharges in this period where the patient was treated for a tibial/lower limb fracture.
