The main analysis is gastroscopy services. An additional analysis is gastroscopy and colonoscopy Inclusion codes and description
For a full description of the MBS code included for this indicator see the last MBS schedule for 2018-19. Presented as a number of services per 100,000 people. Rates are directly age-sex standardised, to the 2001 Australian population, using 5-year age groups: 18-24, 25-29, … , 45-49 and 50-54 years. For more information about age standardisation in general see glossary item Age-standardised rate. A patient’s age is calculated in years as the difference between the patient’s date of birth and date of service, as recorded in the MBS claim. Date of birth and sex are as recorded on a patient’s last processed claim for any service in the processing period. Date of claim of processing is between 1 July 2018 and 29 February 2020. Claim records are allocated to a financial year based on the date the service was provided to the patient. Analysis by Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) 2016 is based on the patient's Medicare enrolment postcode at date of service, as recorded in the MBS claim. Suppress data (number and rate) if at least one of the following conditions are met:
Age-sex standardised rates are also suppressed where the denominator for at least one of the age-sex groups used to calculate the rate is below 30 and results of sensitivity analysis indicate that the rates are volatile. However, for SA3 data, if the volatility of the rate is not found to have a material impact on its decile, the rate is published with caution. For more information about the sensitivity analysis, see the Technical supplement of the Fourth Atlas. Consequential suppression may be applied to preserve confidentialised data. | ||||||||||||||||||
