Ministry of Health (MOH) hospital statistics in this collection rank the top ten conditions driving hospitalisations in Singapore from 1990 through 2021. The annual CSV Top 10 Conditions of Hospitalisation applies ICD10AM coding from 2012 onward with exclusions for ill-defined and non-disease entities described in the official notes. Health services researchers can compare leading causes over decades while noting breaks at the ICD revision. Rankings are aggregate condition counts, not patient-level admission records.
