Table 85 gives the all age all cause mortality rate for Hull and these comparators for the
most recent period 2006-2008. For men, the AAACMR for the 10 comparator areas
combined (822), Spearhead group average (819) and Industrial Hinterlands
classification area (813) are all similar, but around 6% lower than Hull‟s AAACMR. For
women, the pattern is similar to men with the 10 comparator areas combined (569),
Spearhead group average (568) and Industrial Hinterlands (576) all having similar
AACMRs, whereas Hull has a higher AAACMR (636) and the difference is more marked
than in men as Hull‟s AAACMR is around 8% higher than the comparator areas.

Table 86 gives the AAACMR by ward, Area and Locality, standardised to the European
Standard Population. The calculations have been undertaken using mortality
information from the Public Health Mortality File and estimates of resident population
from the GP registration file. As the population estimates differ from those used by the
Office for National Statistics presented in the Compendium, the AAACMR for Hull differs
slightly from that quoted in Table 85. The confidence intervals have been presented
within Table 86, and this is very important as the number of deaths is relatively small at
ward level. It can be seen that the confidence intervals are relatively wide. For
instance, whilst the AAACMR for males in North Locality is 806 per 100,000 men and is
4.6% lower than that of Hull overall (845 per 100,000 men), the confidence interval for
North Locality (747 to 870) overlaps the confidence interval for Hull overall (818 to 873).
