You asked
Please supply how many people with Rheumatoid Arthritis died of Covid since March 2020.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We publish the following analysis regarding deaths due to COVID-19 and pre-existing conditions: Pre-existing conditions of people who died due to COVID-19, England and Wales. In the dataset, Rheumatoid Arthritis was not reported as one of the most common pre-existing causes, this is because we only include pre-existing conditions that were in the top 20 (by frequency).
This information would need to be created as a custom output via our bespoke services pathway. Information on the number of people with Rheumatoid Arthritis that died due to COVID-19, along with other special extracts and tabulations of mortality data for England and Wales are available to order (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate). Such enquiries can be made to: Health.Data@ons.gov.uk.
