Correction

28 September 2026

We have corrected the following errors in our 2022 and 2023 workbooks.

In Table 5, for data years 2021 onwards, three columns corresponding to final underlying causes of death (“Other accidental threats to breathing”, ICD-10 codes W75 to W84) were mislabelled.

This was caused by an error in the code used to create the table. These values are now correct.

We apologise for these errors.
