Documents
Details
This report was prepared using mandatory surveillance data on MRSA, MSSA, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and Klebsiella spp. bacteraemia and Clostridium difficile infection reported to Public Health England (now the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)).
Mortality information was obtained by linking the mandatory surveillance data to NHS demographic records.
The number of infections, deaths and case fatality rate is presented nationally by year and further by NHS region, age, and gender by year.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has previously published data on deaths involving MRSA and Clostridium difficile. The ONS data is not comparable to the data published here by UKHSA due to differences in the geography, time period, and source of death information used.
Previous reports were published by Public Health England.
