  The study aims to analyze the impact of patient characteristics and demographics on incidence, morbidity and survival in benign and malignant disease, using routinely collected data on hospital episodes statistics (HES). This data has been linked with Office of National Statistics (ONS) mortality statistics, in a pseudonymous fashion.
