Aim In Ireland, 20% of adults smoke. Many current and ex-smokers live with ill-health and disability as a result of smoking, and this study aimed to quantify the extent of smoking-related hospitalisations in Irish publicly-funded hospitals. Methods A population attributable fractions approach was used in this analysis utilising smoking prevalence data from the Healthy Ireland Survey and combining this with internationally-recognised relative-risks for current and past smoking, and hospitalisation data and hospital base costs data sourced from HIPE, for the years 2011-2016. Results In 2016, there were 21,486 day case admissions, 33,615 inpatient hospital admissions consuming 309,117 bed days, attributable to smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke, with an estimated cost of €172 million in publicly funded hospitals. This represents 2% of day case admissions, 5% of inpatient admissions, and 8% of inpatient bed days for that year. Conclusion Smoking continues to cause a considerable impact on hospital services in Ireland.
在爱尔兰，20%的成年人吸烟。许多当前吸烟者和曾经吸烟者因吸烟而健康状况不佳并患有残疾，本研究旨在量化爱尔兰公立资助医院中与吸烟相关的住院情况。方法：本分析采用人群归因分数法，利用来自“健康爱尔兰调查”的吸烟流行率数据，并将其与国际认可的当前和过去吸烟的相对风险以及2011年至2016年从HIPE获取的住院数据和医院基础成本数据相结合。结果：2016年在公立资助医院中，因吸烟和接触二手烟导致21486例日间病例入院、33615例住院患者入院，占用309117个床日，估计费用为1.72亿欧元。这占当年日间病例入院数的2%、住院患者入院数的5%以及住院床日数的8%。结论：吸烟继续对爱尔兰的医院服务造成相当大的影响。
