For English, see below This file contains: - the number of COVID-19 hospital and IC admissions per age group in the Netherlands, per week of hospital or IC admission and per week on which the data were reported to the NICE registry (https: //www.stichting-nice.nl). The numbers concern COVID-19 hospital and IC admissions since the first report in the Netherlands (27/02/2020) up to and including the most recent complete week of admission. The registration of the number of COVID-19 hospital and IC admissions may be lagging behind. This may result in the date of recording and the date of the report falling in a different calendar week. Hospital or ICU admissions from the most recent complete week of admission may have been reported in the current incomplete week and are therefore shown in this file. Hospital and ICU admissions from the most recent incomplete week are not included in this file but are censored with the value “NaN” (Not a number). The file is structured as follows: - One record per week of statistics for the Netherlands, even if there are no recordings or reports for the week in question. The numbers are then 0 (zero). -The stated date for statistics may relate to a hospital or IC admission date or the date on which the hospital reported a hospital or IC admission to the NICE registry. Description of the variables: Version: version number of the dataset. When the content of the dataset is structurally changed (so not the daily update or a correction at record level), the version number will be adjusted (+1) and also the corresponding metadata in RIVMdata (Https://data.rivm.nl) . Version 2 update (August 9, 2022): - From August 9, 2022, new admissions of persons with a SARS-CoV-2 infection who were also admitted during a previous COVID-19 episode have been added to this open data file. For this reason, the number of withdrawals with retroactive effect is higher than in our previous files. The underestimation of admissions since the start of the pandemic to August 9, 2022 is less than 1%. A recording is counted as a new recording when a person with a SARS-CoV-2 infection has a recording date that is more than 90 days after the previous recording. Version 3 update (September 1, 2022): - From September 1, 2022, the data will no longer be updated every Wednesday, but on Tuesdays. - As of September 1, 2022, this dataset is split into two parts. The first part contains the dates from the start of the pandemic to October 3, 2021 (week 39) and contains "tm" in the file name. This data will no longer be updated. The second part contains the data from October 4, 2021 (week 40) and is updated every Tuesday. Version 4 update (November 24, 2022): - From November 24, 2022, the age group 0-14 years will be split into age groups 0-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years. This will be retroactively updated for the entire pandemic. Version 5 update (April 4, 2023): - From April 4, 2023, this file will be updated weekly on Tuesdays. The data is retroactively updated for the other days. Date_of_report: Date and time on which the data file was created by RIVM. Date_of_statistics_week_start: The date of the Monday - first day of that week - for which the numbers per week are presented. Week of hospital admission (variable Hospital_admission), week of IC admission (variable IC_admission), the week on which the hospital admission (variable Hospital_admission_notification) or IC admission was reported (variable IC_admission_notification) to the NICE registry. Age_group: Age group in years of the admitted or reported patients. Intervals every five years are used with the exception of 90 years and above (90+). Patients with an unknown age are added to 'Unknown'. Hospital_admission_notification: The number of new COVID-19 patients admitted to the NICE registry per age group [Age_group] per week on which the hospital admission was reported [Date_of_statistics_week_start]. Hospital_admission: The number of new COVID-19 patients admitted to hospital per age group [Age_group] per hospital admission week [Date_of_statistics_week_start] reported to the NICE registry. IC_admission_notification: The number of new COVID-19 patients reported to the NICE registry who were admitted to the ICU per age group [Age_group] per week on which the ICU admission was reported [Date_of_statistics_week_start]. IC_admission: The number of new COVID-19 patients reported to the NICE registry who have been admitted to the ICU per age group [Age_group] per ICU admission week [Date_of_statistics_week_start]. A patient can be admitted to hospital or ICU multiple times (see version 2 update). RIVM and the NICE registry have aligned the method for determining the most relevant admission date in such cases as much as possible, but the numbers may differ slightly from the data as presented by the NICE registry. A patient admitted to the ICU also counts in the hospital admission figures. Despite the fact that hospitals are asked to register COVID-19 patients several times a day, the registration of the number of patients may lag. As a result, the numbers for the past calendar week may still be incomplete (https://www.stichting-nice.nl). Corrections made in reports in the source system of the NICE registration by employees of hospitals can also lead to corrections in this database. In that case, numbers published by RIVM in the past may deviate from the numbers in this database. At the time of creation and publication, this file therefore always contains the most up-to-date data according to the source system of the NICE registration after processing by RIVM. -------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- Covid-19 hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in the Netherlands by age group by hospital and ICU admission week and reporting week (according to NICE registration) This file contains: - the number of COVID-19 hospital and ICU admissions by age group in the Netherlands, per week of hospitalization or ICU admission and per week on which the data were reported to the NICE registry (https://www.stichting-nice.nl).
