This focused report on preventing premature and avoidable mortality forms part of the Clinical Care Quality and Access Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) products, which forms part of a wider JSNA suite of products that provide an overview of the key issues across Essex against the Robert Wood Johnson model of determinants of health. The aim of this report is to provide information for Essex against the first aim for healthcare according to the NHS Outcome Framework domains, preventing early and avoidable deaths.

Mortality rates give a general outcome measure of population health, influenced by quality of care but also a range of other wider factors including behavioural, social, economic and environmental factors. Premature, early mortality is commonly measured as mortality among people aged under 75 years. Measures of premature mortality that is considered avoidable refers to early death for conditions where timely, effective healthcare can reduce chances of death. [1,2,3,4,5]

An internationally recognised definition of avoidable mortality was developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2019 [5] :

Avoidable mortality – deaths defined as either preventable or treatable:
Preventable mortality – deaths that can be mainly avoided through effective public health and primary prevention interventions (i.e. before disease/injury onset, to reduce incidence);
Treatable (or amenable) mortality – deaths that can be mainly avoided through timely and effective health care interventions, including secondary prevention and treatment (i.e. after onset to reduce case-fatality).

As such, to ensure reductions in premature mortality, concerted efforts are needed in both the treatment and prevention of causes of death.
Causes of death are attributed to the ‘preventable’ or ‘treatable’ category is based on whether it is predominantly prevention or health care interventions that can reduce deaths. If causes of death can be both largely prevented before they happen and treated once occurred, they are considered preventable in view of the rationale that, if they were prevented, then treatment wouldn’t be necessary. [1]

Such measures can therefore give a starting point to evaluating the quality and effectiveness of healthcare systems in reducing premature and avoidable mortality, including in terms of differences that may be contributing to health inequalities. Differences in avoidable mortality rates between population groups can in part reflect potential differences in people getting the care they need to address health risks and illnesses.

The following mortality rate information can be found in this JSNA topic, including equalities data such as by Gender and Deprivation:

Total avoidable, preventable and treatable premature mortality.

All cause premature mortality for: cancer; cardiovascular disease; and respiratory disease.

Preventable premature mortality for: cancer; cardiovascular disease; and respiratory disease.

Focus is given to cancer, cardiovascular disease and respiratory disease in the latter section, as these diseases were among the top causes of preventable and treatable premature mortality across 38 countries in 2019. [1]

For Essex, these are also the leading cause premature mortality, from all cause and causes considered preventable, in 2020, and are the top 3 contributors to the life expectancy gap between the most and least deprived areas of Essex (outside of Covid-19). [2]

Under 75 mortality rates are used for each mortality measure included within this topic. Under 75 mortality rates calculate the age-standardised mortality rate for deaths registered in the respective calendar years, in people aged under 75. Age is a non-modifiable risk factor for mortality and as such mortality rates will differ based on the age structure of a population. Age standardisation of mortality rates takes such factors into account, allowing for comparisons to be made between geographical areas and over time. [3,4]
