Fig. 1: Age-standardised incidence rates (per 100,000 population/year) of 28-day mortality and 30-day CVD in England and Wales.

A 28-Day mortality in England, B 30-day CVD in England, and C 28-day mortality and 30-day CVD in Wales, among COVID-19 patients aged ≥30 years and stratifying by ethnicity group. Dark colours (and denoted in bold in the Y axis) represent the 6 high-level groups, and light colours (and denoted in italics in the Y axis) correspond to 19 NHS ethnicity codes sub-categories or SNOMED-CT concepts in England, and to the 10 ethnic groups in Wales. A vertical black dashed line marks the estimates from the White high-level group. To estimate the age-standardised incidence rates, age-specific incidence rates were calculated for 5-year age bands and then combined using the 2013 European Standard Population weights from 30 to 90+ age groups. Estimates are reported with their 95% confidence intervals. Explicit numerical values are available in Supplementary Table 7 for Wales and Supplementary Table 8 for England results.
