Hospital Admissions for Alcohol-Related Conditions per 100,000 Population

European Union open data on hospital episodes where alcohol was a factor, measured per 100,000 population for all ages. The dataset is provided by the Government Digital Service under an Open Government Licence. The indicator has been discontinued, meaning it is no longer actively updated.

Use Cases

• Assessing the population-level impact of alcohol misuse based on hospital admission rates.
• Comparing alcohol-related healthcare burdens across different regions or time periods.
• Modeling trends in alcohol-related morbidity for public health surveillance.
• Evaluating the effectiveness of alcohol policy interventions based on hospital admission data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from an official government service, suggesting an authoritative origin.
• Metrics are standardized per 100,000 population, enabling comparative analysis.

Limitations

• The indicator has been discontinued, so the data is not current.
• Row count and last update date are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
