The information is shown in the following tables. Figures for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are for the year 1997 to 2007, and for Clostridium difficile for the years 1999 and 2001 to 2007, the latest year for which figures are available.

Health Statistics Quarterly 33, 71-75. 2 Deaths involving Clostridium difficile can only be identified using the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). This has been used by ONS for coding mortality from 2001 onwards and in 1999 for a bridge coding study. Data are therefore not available for 2000 when the Ninth Revision of the ICD was in use. 3 Cause of death for cancer was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes C00-C97. 4 Figures for England and Wales include deaths of non-residents. 5 Figures are for deaths registered in each calendar year.

Trends in MRSA in England and Wales: analysis of morbidity and mortality data for 1993-2002. Health Statistics Quarterly 21, 15-22. 2 Cause of death for cancer was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes 140-208 for 1999 to 2000 and Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes C00-C97 for 2001 to 2007. The introduction of ICD-10 in 2001 means that the number of deaths from this cause, before 2001 are not completely comparable with later years. 3 Figures for England and Wales include deaths of non-residents. 4 Figures are for deaths registered in each calendar year.
