Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 13 December 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the (a) diagnosis and (b) mortality rate was for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in Stroud district in each year since 1991. (105505)
Figures on the incidence of chronic lung disease and coronary heart disease are not readily available. The tables below provide (a) the age-standardised cancer incidence rate in Stroud local authority for the years 1991 to 2004 (the latest available), and (b) the age-standardised mortality rates for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in Stroud local authority for the years 1991 to 2005 (the latest available).
| Table 1: Age-standardised cancer incidence rates( 1,2) , Stroud local authority( 3) , 1990-2004 | |
| Cases per 100,000 | |
| (1 )Age-standardised cancer registration rates per 100,000 population, standardised to the European Standard Population. Age-standardised rates are used to allow comparison between populations which may contain different proportions of people of different ages. (2) For data prior to 1995, International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes 140-208 excluding non-melanoma skin cancer code 173. For data from 1995 onwards, International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes COO-C97 excluding non-melanoma skin cancer code C44. (3 )Using local authority boundaries as of 2005 for cancer registrations for all years shown. | |

| (1) Age-standardised mortality rates per 100,000 population, standardised to the European Standard Population. Age-standardised rates are used to allow comparison between populations which may contain different proportions of people of different ages. (2) Cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) for 1991-2000 (codes 490-494 and 496 for chronic lung disease, 410-414 for coronary heart disease, 140-208 for cancer), and Tenth Revision (ICD-10) for 2001-2005 (codes J40-J47 for chronic lung disease, 120-125 for coronary heart disease, C00-C97 for cancer). The introduction of ICD-10 in 2001 means that the numbers of deaths from each cause before 2001 are not completely comparable with later years. (3 )Using local authority boundaries as of 2005 for deaths for all years shown. | |||
