From: Cardiovascular disease incidence rates: a study using routinely collected health data
Incidence rate for each of the five relevant CVD categories considered separately, calculated using Method C. The first recorded diagnosis within each CVD category is included, and diagnoses in other CVD categories are ignored (see Table e6). For each age and sex group, the sum of rates across the five categories is usually bigger than the corresponding rate for all relevant CVDs calculated for each using Method A1
