Liver disease profiles

Details

New Integrated Care Board (ICB) data has been added to the liver disease profile. Indicators that have been updated include:

  • hospital admissions for liver disease (persons, males and females (1-year))
  • hospital admissions for alcoholic liver disease (persons, males and females (1-year))
  • hospital admissions for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (persons (1-year and 3-year))
  • under 75 mortality from liver disease (persons, males and females (1-year and 3-year))
  • under 75 mortality from alcoholic liver disease (persons (1-year and 3-year), males and females (3-year))
  • under 75 mortality from non-alcoholic liver disease (persons (3-year))
  • under 75 mortality from hepatitis B related end-stage liver disease/hepatocellular carcinoma (persons (3-year))
  • under 75 mortality from hepatitis C related end-stage liver disease/hepatocellular carcinoma (persons (3-year))

Liver disease is one of the main causes of premature mortality nationally. The profiles are designed to support local areas by providing data in a user-friendly format to allow them to assess the effect of liver disease in their areas and take action to prevent it.

Data are presented by counties and unitary authorities (upper tier local authority), Integrated Care Board, former Government Office Region and England. Districts and unitary authority (lower tier local authority) level data are also presented, where available.
