Austria Hospital Inpatient Discharges

Austrian hospital discharge statistics are produced on an annual basis, and include clinical details such as diagnoses and procedures, along with demographic information such as age, sex, and state of residence. Statistics are case-based rather than person-based. All hospitals in Austria, including general hospitals, special hospitals, homes for convalescents, nursing homes, maternity hospitals, and sanitariums are required to report details of inpatient stays.
