hospital admissions ?

Question

我再書上看到一個句子:

More than 17 million asthma sufferers now account for 16 percent of hospital admissions and 2,000 deaths a year, according to the Health Ministry.

這邊的 hospital admissions 請問要怎麼翻譯

Update:

那這麼說的話也就是住院比率的意思囉 ?

Admission 是許可，Hospital admission是 "經醫院許可入院(的人)"，加上複數，也就是 "入院人次" 的意思。所以，16 percent of hospital admissions 就是 "百分之十六的入院人次"。
