(62655)""Mortality rates for parliamentary constituencies cannot be provided for the years requested because population estimates are not available for these areas. Figures in the table below are provided for the local authorities which make up the requested constituencies. The figures for 1997 have been adjusted to take account of revisions to the International Classification of Diseases where appropriate."

Death ratesfrom chronic lung disease, cancer and coronary heart disease for the East Riding of Yorkshire, North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire local authorities,1997 and 2004.⁽⁴⁶⁾

Coronary heart disease	153.7	107.9	200.4	115.4	173.5	99.4
⁽⁴⁶⁾ Rates per 100,000 population standardised to the European Standard Population.
⁽⁴⁷⁾ The causes of death for 2004 were defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10): Chronic lung disease (Chronic lower respiratory disease)—ICD-10 J40-J47 Cancer (malignant neoplasms)—ICD-10 COO-C97 Coronary heart disease—ICD-10120–125 Deaths were selected using the original underlying cause. The causes of death for 1997 were defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9). The following codes were used: Chronic lung disease (Chronic lower respiratory disease)—ICD-9 490–494, 496 Cancer (malignant neoplasms)—ICD-9 140–208 Coronary heart disease—ICD-9 410–414 The introduction of ICD-10 for coding cause of death in England and Wales in 2001 means that data for chronic lung disease and cancer are not completely comparable with data for years before this date. The effect of the change in classification in 2001 on deaths from these causes is described in a report published in May 2002: Office for National Statistics. Results of the ICD-10 bridge coding study, England and Wales, 1999. Health Statistics Quarterly 14 (2002), 75–83. For chronic lung disease (chronic lower respiratory disease) and cancer (malignant neoplasms) the introduction of ICD-10 caused an increase of 3.2 per cent. and 2.3 per cent. respectively in the number of deaths coded to these conditions in England and Wales. Deaths in 1997 from these causes have been adjusted to provide rates which are comparable with those for 2004.
⁽⁴⁸⁾ Usual residents of these areas. The local authority of the East Riding of Yorkshire comprises part of the Brigg and Goole constituency as well as parts of the constituencies of Beverley and Holderness, East Yorkshire, Haltemprice and Howden, and Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle. The local authority of North East Lincolnshire comprises part of the constituency of Cleethorpes and the whole of Great Grimsby constituency. The local authority of North Lincolnshire comprises the whole of Scunthorpe constituency and parts of the constituencies of Brigg and Goole and Cleethorpes. Deaths were assigned to these areas using the November 2005 All Fields Postcode Directory.

These control for differences in the size and age structure of the population and allow unbiased comparison of incidence rates over time. Age- standardised incidence rates (directly standardised to the European standard population) for multiple myeloma in England, for each year from 1992-2001, are given in Table 10 of the Annual Reference Volume, Cancer Statistics: Registrations, Series MB1 No. 32, which is available on the National Statistics website at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme health/MBl 32/ MBl 32.pdf
