Death: Malnutrition Mr. Stephen O'Brien To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many hospital deaths were caused by malnutrition among those in each age group over 65 years in each region in the last 10 years. Kevin Brennan The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply. Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated May 2009: As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many hospital deaths were caused by malnutrition among those in each age group over 65 years in each region in the last 10 years. (272547) Malnutrition may be recorded as the underlying cause of death, but this is a rare occurrence. The ‘effects of hunger’, as the effects of malnutrition may be reported on a death certificate, is never recorded as the underlying cause of death, because it is defined by the International Classification of Diseases as a ‘secondary cause’ only. Consequently, deaths with any mention of either of these causes on the death certificate are reported together. The attached tables provide the numbers of deaths in hospital where (a) malnutrition was the underlying cause of death (Table 1), and (b) malnutrition or ‘effects of hunger’ was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate (Table 2), for persons in each age group over 65 years, resident in each government office region in England, for the years 1998 to 2007 (the latest year available). Table 2 will include deaths where malnutrition was a complication of the underlying cause (for example cancer of the stomach) in addition to deaths where it was reported as the underlying cause. The term ‘hospital’ includes NHS, non-NHS and military hospitals. It is not possible to determine from these figures how or where the malnutrition or ‘effects of hunger’ occurred.

codes 260-269 (malnutrition) and E904.1 (effects of hunger) for the years 1998 to 2000, and the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes E40-E46 (malnutrition) and T73.0 (effects of hunger) for 2001 onwards.
