Delay has occurred due to the transition to a new National Patient Register with a new register structure regarding data on admissions. The first tables (on the number of hospital admissions) on the new data basis were published at the end of 2022 for 3 calendar years; 2019, 2020 and 2021. The next tables (on out-patient treatments) were published in the spring of 2023. At the end of year 2023, tables of 2022 numbers were published, and in June 2024, 8 additional new tables were published based on LPR3 for 2019-2022.
The punctuality is high.
Timeliness and time lag - final results
The statistics are published within approx. 12 months after the end of the reference period.
The first tables (regarding number of hospitalizations) on the new LPR3 database were published at the end of 2022 for 3 calendar years; 2019, 2020 and 2021. The next tables (regarding the number of outpatient visits) were published in the spring of 2023. At the end of 2023, data for 2022 has been published. Furthermore, at the end of 2023, 2 new tables (respectively indl001 and ambu001) have been added for the years 2019-2022. These tables break down data on 19 main diagnostic categories. In June 2024, a further 8 new statistical bank tables have been published.
Before 2019 (LPR2), the statistics were published 5-10 months after the end of the year.
Punctuality
The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the pre-announced dates of publication. However, the statistics have been reconstructed on the basis of the new LPR3 data base (from 2019 onwards). Going forward, the newly created table production is expected to be published once a year.
