10.5.1.3 Mortality
Mortality rates are not available on the Compendium for all respiratory disease
combined. Information is given for pneumonia and for bronchitis, emphysema and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) combined (see section 10.5.3.5 on
page 621 for mortality from latter).
Using the PHMF and GP registration file (October 2007, 2008 and 2009), the agespecific
mortality rates have been calculated for each Area and Locality (Table 290).

Over the three year period 2007-2009, there were a total of 100, 243 and 237 deaths in
men in North, East and West Localities respectively (580 among men in Hull in total),
and 112, 260 and 263 deaths in women in North, East and West Localities respectively
(635 among women in Hull in total). Thus, respiratory disease represents a significant
cause of death overall. For instance, more people die of respiratory disease than CHD
(1,145 in total), and almost as many die from respiratory disease as from stroke (599 in
total) and lung cancer (660 in total) combined.
The total number of deaths from respiratory disease for men and women aged under 75
years as well as the directly standardised mortality rates (DSRs) are given in Table 291
for the most recent period 2007-2009. The DSRs are standardised to the European
Standard Population. The confidence intervals are given, and it can be seen that they
are wide for the Areas and Localities, particularly for the former. Therefore, despite the
relatively large differences among the Areas and Localities, the majority of the
differences could well be associated with random variation rather than related to true
differences in the mortality rates. Given the width of the confidence intervals, no
particular Area or Locality appears particularly high or low in relation to the DSR.
