Standardised by: age, sex and method of admission (emergency or elective). Results for each demographic subgroup generated as estimated marginal means using a mixed effects model allowing for a binary outcome, featuring trust as a random trust effect and fixed effects of measured demographic and care characteristic factors (effects measured at the individual level). For analyses of single questions, the modelled binary outcome was the probability of a respondent selecting the most positive answer ("top box") for that question (i.e. selected most positive = 1; did not select the most positive = 0). The analysis modelled the responses of different subgroups by sex, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, route of admission, length of stay, medical or surgical treatment, COVID-19 treatment status, ICD-10 chapter code, long-term condition, frailty and Index of Multiple Deprivation decile.

Data collected using the NHS Adult Inpatient Survey, administered by the Picker Institute Europe on behalf of the Care Quality Commission, using a postal self-completion survey method. The survey looks at the experiences of patients 16 years and over who have had at least one overnight stay in hospital as an inpatient, covering both elective and emergency care admissions. Trusts with fewer than 1,250 eligible discharges in November sample backwards into earlier months (working backwards from 30 November) to reach the required sample size.
