Presented as an estimated annual number per 100,000 people, age standardised, by Statistical Area Level 3. Analysis by Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) is based on postcode of usual residence of the patient. The postcode is that which is provided by the patient to the hospital at which they are admitted. SA3s where the total population was less than 2,500 or where the population of people aged 18 years and over was less than 200 are excluded from analysis. Suppression protocol for calculating age standardised rates:
The following age groups were used for calculating age standardised rates: 18-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39.....85+. | ||||
