The areas used were the 209 English Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), the seven Welsh Local Health Boards, the 14 Scottish Health Boards and the five Health and Social Care Trusts in Northern Ireland; these different types of area are collectively called CCG/HBs here. Patients were allocated to CCG/HBs using the patient’s postcode (rather than the GP postcode). For the incidence rate analyses the patients’ postcodes at start of RRT were used. For the prevalence rate analyses the postcodes at the end of the relevant year were used. Each postcode was linked to the ONS postcode directory (ONSPD) to give the CCG/HB code. The ONSPD contains National Statistics data # Crown copyright and database right 2015 and also Ordnance Survey data # Crown copyright and database right 2015.
