Details of the methods used for the estimates can be found in the Appendix (see p 13). 11 Â© The Kingâs Fund 2012. Data Briefing Emergency hospital admissions for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions â¢ A significantproportion (13 per cent) of admissions for ACSCs was individuals with influenzaand pneumonia.These admissions cost Â£286 million per year. Many of these cases of influenzaand pneumonia are vaccine-preventable.n emergency admission for an ACSC is a sign of the poor overall quality of care, even if the ACSC episode itself is managed well.

Bursitis (anserine) Anserine bursitis is a swelling of the bursa at the inside of the knee and causes pain, redness and stiffness. Varicose veins Symptoms of varicose veins may include leg pain or aches and heaviness, noticeably swollen veins, and more.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) results when the veins in the legs no longer pump blood back to the heart effectively. Normally, when the leg muscles contract, they squeeze the deep veins of the legs, aiding in circulation. Veins contain one-way valves that keep the blood from flowing in the opposite direction, toward the foot. These valves can wear out over time, leading to blood leaking backward and pooling in the veins of the leg.
