Request

How many cases of Amyloidosis have been diagnosed in Jersey in the last 5 years ?

Response

The table below shows the number of inpatients admitted with a diagnosis code related to ‘amyloidosis’ for the last five years. Patients are only coded with a diagnosis code when discharged from hospital.

YearCount
20175
20188
2019<5
20205
2021<5

Data Source: Hospital Patient Administration System (TrakCare, Report CDG4G)

As the numbers are small, disclosure control has been used to protect the privacy of patients, and so therefore, we are showing the actual figure as fewer than five (<5). As such, Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.
