Alcohol Related Indicators: Hospital Admissions and Mortality Metrics for England

Alcohol Related Indicators aggregates data on alcohol-related health and crime outcomes in England. Created by the NWPHO from Hospital Episode Statistics and other sources, it includes metrics like months of life lost, alcohol-specific mortality, hospital admissions, and recorded crimes. The dataset contains numbers and rates, with data last updated on 2026-06-24.

Use Cases

• Analyze gender disparities in alcohol-related health outcomes based on separate male and female mortality and morbidity indicators.
• Model the relationship between alcohol consumption patterns and hospital admission rates based on synthetic estimates for drinking risk levels.
• Assess the public health burden of alcohol by correlating mortality from chronic liver disease with alcohol-attributable hospital admissions.
• Investigate the link between alcohol consumption and crime statistics based on data for alcohol-related violent and sexual offences.

Strengths

• Includes a wide range of public health indicators, such as mortality, hospital admissions, crime, and synthetic drinking estimates.
• Provides data disaggregated by gender and age (e.g., under 18s) for key metrics.
• Created from authoritative sources including Hospital Episode Statistics and includes data for National Indicator 39.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Local Alcohol Profiles for England (LAPE) source.
