NDISA harms audit linkage
To produce the patient profiles, NDISA harms audit data was enriched by linkage:
Notes:
1. From the core NDA demographics table.
2. Taking the value closest to the inpatient harm date (in corresponding NDA year or one of the preceding three years).
3. Taking the value from the NDA year preceding the inpatient harm year (defined as Apr-Mar).
Inpatient population with diabetes
Linkage was also used to produce a comparison population of inpatients with diabetes to compare with the profile of inpatients with inpatient harms recorded:
Notes:
1. From the cumulative core NDA demographics table, supplemented by the ongoing NDA 2021-22 collection.
2. Taking the value from the NDA year corresponding to the admission year.
3. Taking the value from the NDA year preceding the admission year.
