8、=5109 System Dynamics Model Support to regions with trajectories,Pre-announced release dates,More than just headline figures,Better flagging of data quality issues,Latest data - England,National, regional and local figures for 2008/09 will be placed on the NWPHO within the next couple of weeks.Infor
9、mation presented has not been fully validated.Rate of admissions in 2008/09 was 1583 per 100,000 population, a 7.5% increase on 2007/08. This does not deliver the improvement of less than 5.5% that we were are aiming to achieve in our PSA, which was based on information about local actions.It is an
10、improvement on the projected increase of 8.0%. This is higher than the rate suggested by the provisional figures currently on the web site.,Latest data - England,National, regional and local figures for Q1 of 2009/10 also being placed on the NWPHO site within the next fortnight. Forecast outturn for
11、 2009/10 based on Q1 data only is more pessimistic.,Latest data,There is some variation between regions and considerable variation between PCTs.,Conditions accounting for increase,Alcohol-specific conditions account for a quarter of the admissions, largely unchanged. Has grown by 81% since 2002/03,
12、compared with 85% for all alcohol-related admissions. Acute events account for 10% of the total, down slightly. Accidents and injury, violence and cancers have each increased by less than average. Hypertensive disease accounts for 35% of the total, up from 27% in 2002/03. Has grown by 145% since 200

18、rtensive diseases (25%) followed by mental and behavioural disorders caused by alcohol (22%) and cardiac arrhythmias (15%)There are differences in cause of admission by sex,Trends in cause top 10 causes,Number of NI39 admissions increased by 16.7% between 2002/03 to 2007/08 (695.5 more admissions).
19、The table below shows trends in the top 10 causesalmost half of this increase is due to an increase in mental and behavioural disorders, 30% due to hypertensive diseases and over 20% due to alcohol liver diseaseSince 2002/03 NI 39admissions for chronic hepatitis and fibrosis of the liver have increa
