Mr. Burstow:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many elderly people were diagnosed as suffering from malnutrition, broken down by (a) region, (b) age and (c) length of stay in a healthcare facility; and if he will make a statement. [160868]
Mr. Ivan Lewis:
Information by region, age and length of stay in a healthcare facility is not held centrally.
The following table shows the available information for people aged 65 or more by length of hospital stay in each strategic health authority area in 2005-06. The figures include instances where there was either a primary or a secondary diagnosis of malnutrition. They would therefore include patients who were admitted to hospital for a reason other than malnutrition but were subsequently diagnosed as malnourished.

Notes:
1. Discharges
A discharge episode is the last episode during a spell, where the patient is discharged from the hospital (this includes transfer to another hospital).
2. Length of stay (duration of spell)
Length of stay (LOS) is calculated as the difference in days between the admission date and the discharge date, where both are given. LOS is based on the whole of the hospital spell and therefore may not be linked to malnutrition entirely. LOS only applies to ordinary admissions, i.e. day cases are excluded (unless otherwise stated). Information relating to LOS figures, including discharge method/destination, diagnoses and any operative procedures, is based only on the final episode of the spell.
3. All diagnoses count of episodes
These figures represent a count of all finished consultant episodes where the diagnosis was mentioned in any of the 14 (seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in a HES record.
4. Diagnosis (primary diagnosis)
The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 14 (seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital.
5. Secondary diagnoses
As well as the primary diagnosis, there are up to 13 (six prior to 2002-03) secondary diagnosis fields in HES that show other diagnoses relevant to the episode of care.
6. Malnutrition
Malnutrition is defined by a primary diagnosis between the ICD-10 codes E40-E46.
E40 Kwashiorkor
E41 Nutritional marasmus
E42 Marasmic kwashiorkor
E43 Unspecified severe protein-energy malnutrition
E44 Protein-energy malnutrition of moderate and mild degree
E45 Retarded development following protein-energy malnutrition
E46 Unspecified protein-energy malnutrition
