Disease | Data and methods |
---|---|
Coronary heart disease (CHD) | Incidence of CHD estimated from incidence rates of first acute myocardial infarction (derived from Hospital Episode Statistics [38]), adjusted using the proportion of unstable angina among all coronary events in the OXVASC study [39]. Mortality rates from the Office of National Statistics cause-specific death registrations (number of deaths where myocardial infarction was mentioned on the death certificate) [40]. Case fatality rates and baseline prevalence derived using DISMOD IIa [41]. |
Stroke | Incidence of first stroke estimated from the OXVASC study [39] and data from the General Practice Research Database [42]. Mortality rates from the Office of National Statistics cause-specific death registrations [40]. Case fatality rates and baseline prevalence derived using DISMOD II [41]. |
Type two diabetes | Incidence rates from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink [43]. Type two diabetes mortality rate ratios and prevalence estimated from the National Diabetes Audit 2011/12 [44]. Case fatality rates derived using DISMOD II [41]. |
Cirrhosis | Incidence rates from a population-based cohort study linking the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and Hospital Episode Statistics [45]. Mortality rates from the Office of National Statistics cause-specific death registrations [40]. Case fatality rates and baseline prevalence derived using DISMOD II [41]. |
Cancers | Incidence rates from Cancer Registrations Statistics, England, 2012 [46]. Mortality rates from the Office of National Statistics cause-specific death registrations [40]. Case fatality rates and baseline prevalence derived using DISMOD II [41]. |
