"Figure 5a: Alcohol-related death rates, with 95% confidence intervals, by region, registered in 2012","" "Male","" "","" "Notes","1. A common definition of alcohol-related death is used across the United Kingdom; see the ‘Definition’ section for further information 2. Rates per 100,000 population, standardised to the 1976 European Standard Population 3. Deaths of non-residents are excluded 4. Figures are for deaths registered in each calendar year 5. Confidence intervals give a measure of the statistical precision of an estimate and show the range of uncertainty around the estimated figure. As a general rule, if the confidence interval around one figure overlaps with the interval around another, we cannot say with certainty that there is more than a chance difference between the two figures 6. In 2012 the average number of days between date of death and death registration in England and Wales was four days for alcohol-related causes" "Unit","Age-standardised rates per 100,000 population" "","" "","Alcohol-related death rate","Lower 95% Confidence Interval","Upper 95% Confidence Interval" "North East","17.6","15.4","19.7" "North West","20.7","19.3","22.2" "Yorkshire and the Humber","15.7","14.3","17.2" "East Midlands","14.3","12.8","15.8" "West Midlands","16.5","15.1","18.0" "East of England","10.2","9.1","11.2" "London","13.9","12.7","15.1" "South East","12.1","11.1","13.1" "South West","14.1","12.8","15.5"
