Mortality Profile: March 2023

Details

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) has updated the Mortality Profile.

The profile brings together a selection of mortality indicators, including from other OHID data tools such as the Public Health Outcomes Framework, making it easier to assess outcomes across a range of causes of death.

For the March 2023 update, 12 new indicators have been added to the profile:

  • mortality rate for deaths due to COVID-19, all ages
  • under 75 mortality rate for deaths due to COVID-19
  • mortality rate from all cardiovascular diseases, all ages
  • mortality rate from heart disease, all ages
  • mortality rate from stroke, all ages
  • mortality rate from cancer, all ages
  • mortality rate from breast cancer, all ages
  • mortality rate from colorectal cancer, all ages
  • mortality rate from liver disease, all ages
  • mortality rate from respiratory disease, all ages
  • under 75 mortality rate from lung cancer
  • mortality rate from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, all ages

Impact of updated mid-year population estimates on Fingertips indicators

ONS have released 2021 mid-year population estimates, based on the results of the 2021 Census. They are not comparable with estimates for previous years. Rebased estimates for 2012 to 2020 will be published in due course. Indicators which use mid-year population estimates as their denominators are affected by this change. Where an indicator has been updated to 2021, the non-comparable historical data are not available through Fingertips or in the API, but are made available in csv format through a link in the indicator metadata. Comparable back series data will be added once the rebased populations are available.
