Calculated 5 year moving average for Åland and Iceland, including the listed year and the 4 previous years (e.g. 2005 = average 2001-2005). Diagnostic groups defined by ICD-10 (codes in parentheses). Diagnostic group reflects main diagnoses i.e., the main health conditions for which an individual was treated in hospital. Average length of stay (ALOS) refers to the average number of days patients discharged from hospital have spent. ALOS is measured by dividing the total annual number of bed-days by the number of discharges during that same period. Same day discharges and outpatient visits are excluded. A bed-day is counted as each overnight stay of an in-patient in hospitals (>=1 bed day). A hospital discharge is defined as the release of a patient who has been admitted to an in-patient hospital unit and has stayed for at least one night. A person is discharged when treatment has been finalized, either to their home or to another healthcare facility, for further treatment or rehabilitation. Hospital stays which end due to individuals leaving against medical advice or by in-hospital deaths are also counted. Same-day discharges are excluded. The data covers all types of hospitals, including general hospitals, mental health hospitals and other specialized hospitals.
