Spinal SurgeryISD data request 5 years activity data for NHS Grampian and NHS Highland
ISD data request • Requested data for 2008/09 to 2012/13 financial years for • All spinal surgery OPCS4 codes (from SMR01) • Excluded emergency surgery (i.e fracture stabilisation) • Amalysis group by: • Cervical and Thoracic/Lumbar intervertegral surgery • All other spinal surgical procedures
Summary • Data shows total activity data static over last 5 years. • However, activity pattern has changed (reduction in inter-vertebral surgery but increases in other spinal surgery). • Slight drop in referrals from NHS Highland to NHS Grampian. • Increasing use of private sector. • Data does not reflect out-patient work – perception that this is increasing.
