Caveats

  • Counts diagnosed patients registered at practices in the area, not necessarily area residents.
  • Excludes patients with no asthma-related drugs prescribed in the previous 12 months.
  • Not age-adjusted; asthma prevalence varies with age.
  • Patients are assigned by GP practice location, not necessarily residence. The selected local-authority feed is 2024/25; it is not the newer national QOF release.
  • Lower register prevalence can mean under-diagnosis.
