Asthma: mortality data
Data on mortality from asthma are published by the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) within their Vital Events Reference Tables (table 6.4). Chart 1 shows the annual number of deaths in Scotland where asthma was the underlying cause. In 2007 there were 112 deaths where the underlying cause was asthma. The relatively small number of deaths means that there are large year to year fluctuations in the numbers with no clear trend over the seven year period shown.
Please note: If you require the most up-to-date data available, please check the data sources directly as new data may have been published since these data pages were last updated. Although we endeavour to ensure that the data pages are kept up-to-date, there may be a time lag between new data being published and the relevant ScotPHO web pages being updated.
