Summary

To reduce deaths from fracture of femur.

The data files made available within this publication relate to an entire three-year period subsequent to the ONS software change taking place. This means the underlying counts for each year within the three-year period are now on a comparable basis, and there is no further reason for the indicator to be excluded from routine refreshes.

For further information on the ONS change of software to code deaths please see link 'Impact of the implementation of IRIS software for ICD-10 cause of death coding on mortality statistics' available from the Resources section within each of the dataset pages relating to mortality from fracture of femur.

For further information on the definitions of what these indicators include, please see the relevant specification.

From 2016 onwards, mortality counts within the Compendium Mortality Indicator set are based on a bespoke extract taken from the Primary Care Mortality Database (PCMD) maintained by NHS Digital. PCMD is updated monthly using a file of death records from ONS and is continually subject to amendment.

It is already well established that late registrations have a small impact on counts. This bespoke extract may be taken at a different time to that of the mortality data published by ONS and as such this may cause some small differences between ONS and NHS Digital mortality figures for a given year.
