Details

Our statistical practice is regulated by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR). The OSR sets the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics that all producers of official statistics should adhere to.

These reports were prepared using mandatory surveillance data on:

  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
  • Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA)
  • Escherichia coli (E. coli)
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa)
  • Klebsiella species (Klebsiella spp.) bacteraemia
  • Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection

These were reported to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), previously Public Health England.

Mortality information was obtained by linking the mandatory surveillance data to NHS demographic records.

The number of infections, deaths and case mortality rate is presented nationally by year and further by NHS region, age, and gender by year.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has previously published data on deaths involving MRSA and C. difficile. The ONS data is not comparable to the data published here by UKHSA due to differences in the geography, time period, and source of death information used.

Previous reports were published by Public Health England.
