Comment(s)

In the reporting 2005 (with the exception of Lower-Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia) healthy newborns were included as full-time patients in hospital. This also affects values such as "average length of stay" and "utilisation of beds", which are calculated using the number of cases or the number of accountable days and occupation days respectively.

Number of cases: For "inpatient facilities total", "hospitals total" and "prevention or rehabilitation facilities total" numbers refer to the entire facility. Patients who are moved between specialist departments within one facility are not reported. For the specialist departments, however, those patients are reported.
