• Review clinical notes for
accuracy
ESR Surveillance National data
• Under-estimated by 20-50%
before 2013 – DHBs vary
• Improved since 2013
• May be accuracy issues
Rheumatic Fever
Registers Accurate diagnosis • Regional not national
Be aware – numbers and rates vary by data source

– 1,500 on monthly penicillin injections
– 550 admissions for rheumatic heart disease
– 140 deaths annually
• Environmental drivers complicated
