Sairaaloittain

Sairaaloittain is a Finnish adverb meaning "by hospital" or "hospital-wise." It indicates that data or information are disaggregated according to individual hospitals, rather than being presented for a whole system or region.

The term is formed from sairaala (hospital) with the adverbial suffix -ittain, a productive pattern in Finnish for categorizing information. In statistical, epidemiological, and health-services literature, sairaaloittain appears in titles and phrases describing hospital-level breakdowns and comparisons.

Usage is common in health statistics, hospital performance reporting, patient outcomes research, and resource allocation studies. It is often seen in contexts such as tilastot sairaaloittain, meaning statistics by hospital, or reports that compare metrics across facilities. In English, sairaaloittain is typically translated as "by hospital" or "hospital-wise," with the nuance that the data are broken down to the level of individual hospitals.

See also: terms used for data disaggregation in Finnish include kunnittain (by municipality) and maakunnittain (by province). The concept of sairaaloittain emphasizes granularity in reporting, aiding identification of variations, gaps, or best practices at the level of specific hospitals.
