10.2.1.13 Mortality Within the Most Deprived National Quintile – Hull and Comparators
The data in this section are from a project looking at SMRs within national deprivation
quintiles, using national mortality data as well as population estimates at lower layer
super out area (LLSOA) for the entire country. This work was possible due to the
assistance of the Yorkshire and Humber Public Health Observatory, who hold a copy of
the national mortality file and have commissioned the Office for National Statistics
(ONS) to produce the LLSOA population estimates. At the time the analyses were
undertaken, the most recent period for which data were available was 2008. It should
be noted that, because the LLSOA population estimates are derived from resident
population estimates, which tend to be different to the GP registered populations used
locally, the SMRs produced will not be the same as those produced using local data.
Comparisons were made between Hull and North East Lincolnshire, as well as the
averages for the 10 comparator PCTs (see section 3.3.3.1 on page 44), Spearhead
PCTs, the 20 most deprived PCTs in England, the Industrial Hinterlands group of local
authorities and the Yorkshire and Humber region, using England deprivation-specific
reference rates.
Figure 207 shows trends in under 75 standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) for cancer for
Hull and comparator areas for those residents living in areas that lie within the most
deprived 20% of areas in England, which for Hull amounts to more than half of all
residents. The underlying data are given in the APPENDIX on page 916. Under 75
cancer SMRs for men in Hull were higher for each year than for all comparators
excluding North East Lincolnshire. The only substantial changes in under 75 cancer
SMRs for Hull were a 9% decrease in 2003-2005 and an 8% increase in 2006-2008 to
end the period just 2.5% lower than in 2001-2003, and higher than all the comparator
areas. For women in Hull under 75 cancer SMRs increased for each year, ending the
period 22% higher than in 2001-2003, and between 16% and 20% higher than for
comparator areas, statistically significantly higher than for each comparator, excluding
North East Lincolnshire. Under 75 cancer SMRs remained largely unchanged over the
period for comparator areas.
