Deaths from asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia, and influenza from 2015 to 2019 in the UK

You asked

Please provide the following information:

The main topic is UK deaths for the the 5 years of 2015 to 2019 where the cause of death included a respiratory condition. I am interested in deaths that include the conditions mentioned below regardless of whether these were the primary cause or not.

This means the victim would have died of either; one of the conditions listed below or a pre-existing condition and one of the conditions listed below.

Please can the data be grouped using all the following identifiers:-
Geography identifier - UK
Timescale identifier  -  By Year
Gender identifier - Male/Female
Pre-existing condition - Yes/No
Condition identifiers:-

• asthma
• bronchitis
• emphysema
• pneumonia
• influenza

NB - Please do not provide individual datasets grouped by one identifier at a time as this would obscure data for analysis. It is vital that all the identifiers are included in the same dataset and all identifiers are used for grouping and aggregating

I would expect the results to look something like the example layout below:-
Geo / Time / Gender / Pre-existing Condition? / Condition / Volume
UK / 2015 / Male / Yes / Influenza / 101
UK / 2016 / Male / Yes / Pneumonia / 102
UK / 2017 / Male / Yes / Influenza / 103
UK / 2018 / Male / Yes / Influenza / 104
UK / 2019 / Male / Yes / Pneumonia / 101
UK / 2015 / Male / No / Influenza / 101
UK / 2016 / Male / No / Influenza / 102
UK / 2017 / Male / No / Influenza / 103
UK / 2018 / Male / No / Pneumonia / 104
UK / 2019 / Male / No / Influenza / 101

We are responsible for the production of Mortality data for England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration.

They can be contacted at foi@nrscotland.gov.uk and info@nisra.gov.uk respectively.

Unfortunately, we do not hold analysis that would meet your exact request for England and Wales. To fulfil this request, we would need to create bespoke analysis. However, we may be able to create this for you as a custom output. Such services would be subject to legal frameworks, disclosure controls, resources and agreement of costs. If you would like to request this bespoke dataset, please contact health.data@ons.gov.uk to discuss your enquiry further.

Our NOMIS Webservice may also be of interest to you. This service provides mortality data by cause of death, age, sex, and year from 2013 to 2019 in England and Wales.
