Decomposing the effects of changes of population size, age-sex profile, health status and residual factors on growth in hospital activity in English hospitals: an ecological database study from 2011–2019
In general, growth in hospital activity was mostly driven by residual (R) factors, followed by population growth (P). Age-specific health status (H) had the lowest impact. These data may provide useful context for planning future hospital activity in England.
