[2] This is a summary measure of premature mortality which provides an explicit way of weighting deaths occurring at younger ages. PYLL uses the average age‐specific life expectancy for each five year age band as the age to which a person in that age band might be expected to live. The calculation of PYLL involves the standardisation of the average number of years that would have been lived had individuals reached their life expectancy.
[3] a death is amenable (treatable) if, in the light of medical knowledge and technology at the time of death, all or most deaths from that cause (subject to age limits if appropriate) could be avoided through good quality healthcare https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/causesofdeath/bulletins/avoidablemortalityinenglandandwales/2014#how-have-we-defined-avoidable-mortality
Please note: the 2008-12 figure used in the LCCC Baseline (114 deaths per 100,000 population) has since been revised to 125 deaths per 100,000 population. This is due to modifications to geography lookups in addition to data and methodological changes.
For the various causes of death (ICD-10 classification) and associated age bands considered to be amenable to medical intervention are defined by the Office of National Statistics, and are set out in the report that can be found here (Table A2) https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/publications/sub-regional-inequalities-by-local-government-district-lgd-2017
[4] avoidable deaths are all those defined as preventable, amenable (treatable) or both, where each death is counted only once; where a cause of death is both preventable and amenable, all deaths from that cause are counted in both categories when they are presented separately https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/causesofdeath/bulletins/avoidablemortalityinenglandandwales/2014#how-have-we-defined-avoidable-mortality
Please note: the 2008-12 figure used in the LCCC Baseline (229 deaths per 100,000 population) has since been revised to 230 deaths per 100,000 population. This is due to modifications to geography lookups in addition to data and methodological changes.
For the various causes of death (ICD-10 classification) and associated age bands considered to be avoidable to medical intervention are defined by the Office of National Statistics, and are set out in the report that can be found here (Table A2) https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/publications/sub-regional-inequalities-by-local-government-district-lgd-2017
[5] a death is preventable if, in the light of understanding of the determinants of health at time of death, all or most deaths from that cause (subject to age limits if appropriate) could be avoided by public health interventions in the broadest sense https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/causesofdeath/bulletins/avoidablemortalityinenglandandwales/2014#how-have-we-defined-avoidable-mortality
Please note: the 2008-12 figure used in the LCCC Baseline (184 deaths per 100,000 population) has since been revised to 187 deaths per 100,000 population. This is due to modifications to geography lookups in addition to data and methodological changes.
