Estimated Aneurysm Rupture Events in English Hospitals

An estimated count of aneurysm rupture events identified from hospital electronic patient records (UHS EPR) and Hospital Episode Statistics Admitted Patient Care (HES-APC) data. The dataset was created by Samuel Hall and last updated in May 2026. The figure is an estimate derived by applying a miscoding rate observed in Southampton to hospitals across England.

Use Cases

• Estimate the incidence of aneurysm rupture admissions based on hospital coding data mentioned in the description
• Analyze potential miscoding rates in national health statistics based on the described estimation method
• Benchmark hospital coding accuracy for vascular emergencies based on the described regional comparison

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The estimation methodology is explicitly described, citing a specific observed misclassification rate of 2/37.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
