General description

This StatsWales cube provides data on age specific prevalence by disease register, i.e. patients of a particular age group on a disease register, as a proportion of all patients of that age group registered at a GP practice. This is also broken down by gender.

Data collection and calculation

The information presented here is provided to the Welsh Government by Digital Health and Care Wales.

The Audit+ data for 2020 include disease registers that were included historically as part of QOF, but have since been retired and are no longer a part of QAIF. These include cardiovascular disease - primary prevention, depression and smoking (with chronic conditions).

Note, patients with gender recorded as ‘not known’ are included in the 'All' gender category.

Frequency of publication

Annual

Data reference periods

The data presented refers to a single point in time. Due to changes in QAIF over time, the reference dates are not exactly the same in each year. Data for 2020 relates to 14 December; data for 2021 and 2022 relate to 30 September; data for 2023 relates to 1 October; and all data from 2024 onwards relates to 1 April.

Rounding applied

Prevalence rates are rounded to 1 decimal place.
