Deviation from the definition: Data relates to patients hospitalized in psychiatric institutes and
discharged during the given year.

Denmark

Source: Centre for Psychiatric Research.
Only in-patients are included. NOTE: The capital region (Copenhagen) and the region of Sjaelland all
have changed hospital codes in 2008 and in this context all mental patients were discharged (or so
it appears from the data). Therefore, the figures are probably only for the rest of the country
which explains why the value is lower than the previous year.

Deviation from the definition: Data contains the number of patients with mental disorders (ICD-10:
F00-F99) discharged from hospital after a length of stay of 365 days or more. It is not possible to
specify discharge data into discharge data of mental health hospitals and discharge data of general
hospitals.
Break in time series: Up to and including the reporting year 2002, data only include discharges in
general hospitals and mental health hospitals. From reporting year 2003, data include additionally
discharges in preventive and rehabilitative hospitals, however discharges from these institutions
with less than 100 beds are not included. The years before 2003 are therefore not comparable to the
following years. Data before reporting year 2000 is not available.

ICD-9: 230-319
Note: Number of mental patients staying in hospital 365+days, including geriatric patients.
Reporting of these data have deteriorated during recent years, which explains the loss of data after
2010. As from 2014 data will be reported into the national patient register on a monthly basis,
which will improve the possibilities to produce accurate numbers.

Switzerland

Based on hospital discharge data. Source of data: FSO Federal Statistical Office, Neuchatel; Medical
Statistics of Hospitals; yearly census.
Coverage: Full coverage of hospitals; sufficient (nearly full) coverage of inpatient and day cases
since 2002. Due to a modification of the legislation, day cases are not collected in 2009 anymore.
Estimation method: Discharges without a valid ICD-code are not accounted for (negligible).
Break in time series: The gradual change of diagnosis classification since 2008 from ICD-10 WHO to
ICD-10 GM (German Modification) may lead to breaks for some categories.
