Notes:
1. Age-standardised Person Years of Life Lost (PYLL) per 1,000 population.
2. 2012-2019 deaths are final, 2020 deaths are revised, and 2021 deaths are preliminary.
3. The following ICD 10 Codes were used:
a. Lung cancer C33.0 to C34.9
b. Breast cancer C50.0 to C50.9 (females only)
c. Ischaemic heart disease 120.0 to 125.9
d. Bowel cancer C18.0 to C21.9 and C26.0
e. Malignant skin cancers C43.0 to C44.9.
4. In 2022, a review of current reporting practices and literature concerning causes of all age and
premature death was completed. Based on this review WA death and hospitalisation data was
used to conduct data analysis of candidate conditions. This resulted in a revised list of the most
common causes of premature death in WA to be reported for 2022-23.
5. Targets are based on national figures from the most recent revised National PYLL/1,000
population estimates, derived from data provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
6. Minor methodological improvements and updates to death data mean that figures are not
directly comparable with previous reports.
