Notes

This field is a summary of the distinct patient classification codes a participant has had recorded in their hospital inpatient records. Patient classification on admission identifies the type of patient, e.g. whether they are a regular attender or a maternity admission, etc.

Note that the original information was obtained from a variety of external sources, some of which used overlapping and contradictory coding schemes. This field has been re-coded to remove such data conflicts.

This field corresponds to the field CLASSPAT_UNI on the HESIN table; see the Inpatient Data Dictionary (Resource 141140) in Category 2000 for information about the HESIN table.

In order to conduct detailed analyses of this data using the source information, researchers will need to gain access to the HESIN table by adding Field 41259 to their basket.
