Updated data is provided for kidney replacement therapy in the treatment of kidney disease (2020 data); diabetes treatment and care processes to the end of 2020 to 2021; and primary care treatment for Heart Disease and Stroke. No new data is available for admissions or mortality for stroke or heart disease due to no published population mid-year estimates for health geographies based on the census 2021.

The pdf reports have been removed from the CVD Profiles.

Updated data from Sentinel Stroke National Audit programme for 2020/21.

March 2022

Correction: An error in the percentage of stroke admissions with history of atrial fibrillation not prescribed anticoagulation was identified in the December 2021 update of the CVD Profiles. An import error led to a reversal of the percentage display of the anticoagulation indicator. The impact was for all geographies where the indicator was available. The data has now been corrected and replaced on Fingertips at the 1st March 2022.

Removal of the Healthier Lives profiles - On 4 December 2018 the 'Healthier Lives' resource for hypertension was removed and this web address redirected to the CVD profiles.
