While two thirds of boys overall that had ever drunk alcohol had experienced at least
one of these ill-effects after drinking alcohol, three-quarters of girls had done so (Table
149). The percentage of pupils that had ever drunk alcohol that reported ill-effects from
that consumption increased with age, from 47% of boys and 54% of girls in year 7 to
85% of boys and 89% of girls in year 11. In each year, the percentage of girls that had
ever drunk alcohol and had experienced any ill-effects from that consumption was
greater than the percentage of boys.

8.8.5 Inpatient Hospital Admissions
During the three financial years 2006/07 to 2008/09, there were 266,889 clinician
episodes for daycase or inpatient admissions for Hull residents (for explanation of
clinician episodes see section 12.12 on page 781). Less than 1% of these clinician
episodes (1,834) had a primary diagnosis that was alcohol-related (for medical
conditions see Table 417). The majority of these were due to mental and behavioural
disorders due to use of alcohol or alcoholic liver disease. Overall, 1,234 of the clinician
episodes were due to mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol (mainly
560 acute intoxication, 17 harmful use, 192 dependence syndrome and 449 withdrawal
state with or without delirium), 44 were due to alcoholic gastritis, 407 due to alcoholic
liver disease and 122 due to alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis. Overall, there were
7,575 clinician episodes (2.8%) that had a primary or secondary 45 diagnosis that was
alcohol-related. Table 150 examines the number of patient stays/admissions where any
clinician episode has an alcohol-related primary diagnosis and the number of patients
this relates to separately over the three year period. It is not surprising that the number
of admissions are higher than the number of patients as the same patients may be
45 Up to four secondary diagnosis codes are recorded for the hospital episode statistics.
