| Summary | admimeth codes that identify emergency admissions in HES APC. These are necessary for a number of code lists (e.g. adversity-related injuries by Herbert et al and stress-related presentations by Blackburn et al and Ni Chobhthaigh et al) |
| Validation | The codes in this list are those listed as emergency admissions from the HES technical output specification. |
| Original purpose | To identify emergency admissions |
| Groups | None |
| Flags | transfer = code denotes transfer and so might not be relevant for all research |
| Other details | Some codes are only available in HES from 2013/14 and so versions of this code list in earlier publications may omit these. |
