Presented as a number per 100,000 people, age standardised by Statistical Area Level 4. Analysis by Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) is based on postcode of usual residence of the patient. The postcode is based on that which is provided by the patient to the hospital at which they are admitted. SA4s where the total population was less than 2,500 or where the population of people aged 65 years and over was less than 200 are excluded.
