#	Column	Type	Notes
1	eid	integer	Encoded participant identifier. This identifier is the same encoded id used in the main dataset.
2	ins_index	integer	Instance index. A numerical index which together with the eid uniquely identifies the corresponding record in the main HESIN table.
3	arr_index	integer	Array index. A numerical index which together with the eid and ins_index uniquely identifies this record, i.e. eid, ins_index and arr_index together form a primary key for this table.
4	dsource	string, coding 1970	Critical care record origin. Currently only HES (England).
5	source	integer, coding 263	Critical care record format. A finer split of the format of data released from each dsource. Currently only 60.

11	ccdisrdydate	date	Ready-to-discharge date from critical care. The date on which the patient has been declared clinically ready for discharge or transfer from the clinical care period.
12	ccdisstat	integer, coding 7009	Critical care discharge status. The patient status at time of discharge, for example whether they were fully ready for discharge, whether their discharge was early or delayed, whether they self-discharged, or whether they died rather than being discharged (and their organ-donor status if so).
