  1. 2018

2. Please break down the early totals above by inpatient BMI at time of discharge in the following categories:

  1. BMI > 18.5
  2. BMI 17-18.5
  3. BMI 16-16.99
  4. BMI 15-15.99
  5. BMI <15kg

For ease, I have created a table template that can be completed. Please also find it attached.

If numbers above are so small that a significant proportion of the data is supressed, please complete the alternative table outlining broader BMI categories also attached.

In accordance with FOISA s 17(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it does not hold the information requested as BMI data is not held against inpatient admissions data.
