"Figure 7b: Alcohol-related death rates, with 95% confidence intervals, by region, registered in 2013","" "Female","" "","" "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 2013 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 2013 the average number of days between date of death and death registration was five days for alcohol-related causes" "Unit","Age-standardised rates per 100,000 population" "","" "Region","Alcohol-related death rate","Lower 95% Confidence Interval","Upper 95% Confidence Interval" "North East","11.6","9.7","13.4" "North West","12.1","11.0","13.3" "Yorkshire and the Humber","9.4","8.2","10.6" "East Midlands","9.3","8.0","10.6" "West Midlands","10.1","8.9","11.3" "East of England","6.2","5.3","7.1" "London","6.5","5.6","7.3" "South East","7.9","7.0","8.7" "South West","7.5","6.5","8.6"
