Notes

This field is a summary of the distinct episode type codes a participant has had recorded in their hospital inpatient records. Hospital episode type identifies whether the period of care in hospital was a general episode or a psychiatric episode, for example. This field is only present in English inpatient data.

This field corresponds to the field EPITYPE 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.
