*Data from 2024 has not been included as the Registrar General Annual Report for 2024 has not been published yet.
**These figures are also based on date of registrations rather than the date of death.
***ICD is shortened which refers to International Classification of Diseases. The codes in the table referring to A40 and A41, are when sepsis is the cause of death, rather than a contributing factor.
