Excess winter deaths index (3 years, all ages) (%) (3360) Metric type
- Help text
- Excess Winter Deaths Index (EWD Index) is the excess winter deaths measured as the ratio of extra deaths from all causes that occur in the winter months compared with the expected number of deaths, based on the average of the number of non-winter deaths. The ONS standard method was used: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/method-quality/quality/quality-information/health-and-social-care/quality-and-methodology-information-for-excess-winter-mortality-in-england-and-wales.pdf
The method defines the winter period as December to March, and compares the number of deaths that occurred in this winter period with the average number of non-winter deaths occurring in the preceding August to November and the following April to July: Excess Winter Deaths = Dec to Mar deaths - ((Aug to Nov deaths + Apr to Jul deaths) / 2)The Excess Winter Deaths Index is calculated as the number of excess winter deaths divided by the average non-winter deaths expressed as a percentage: Excess Winter Deaths Index = (excess winter deaths / average non-winter deaths) x 100
