Liver disease mortality dashboard

This publication provides a dashboard of European Age Standardised Rates of liver disease mortality in Scotland. The dashboard includes interactive maps for Scottish Parliamentary Constituency, NHS board of treatment, and an interactive table for rates by age and sex for people aged under 75. Maps of the percentage of datazones in the 20% most deprived grouping according to the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation within Scottish Parliamentary Constituencies and Health Boards are provided.

European Age Standardised Rates (EASR) are an estimate of what the mortality rates would be if the country had the age distribution of the European Standard Population.

ICD-10 codes refer to WHO International Classification of Diseases, 10^th edition.

Alcohol-attributable fractions: the estimated proportion of deaths due to alcohol consumption.

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is a measure of deprivation combining different aspects of disadvantage.

This dashboard allows policy makers and MSPs to identify areas with high rates of liver mortality where resources to focus on more appropriate care and interventions could be provided. It allows observing trends over time for monitoring policy obligations both locally and nationally.

The data are considered accurate. Data are validated locally by partnerships. PHS carry out further validation checks in consultation with NHS boards.

100% of the data is used for analysis.

Data are not comparable outwith Scotland.

It is the policy of Public Health Scotland (PHS) to make its web sites and products accessible according to published guidelines
