Footnote: Every effort is made to ensure accuracy and completeness of the data. At a national level, data are ‘de-duplicated’ to prevent double counting of the same individual.

This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from UK statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from UK statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other UK-specific metadata information.

Definitions

Newly diagnosed cases of laboratory confirmed acute hepatitis B (IgM positive). Data was extracted using “date entered” on cases from Health Protection teams data or “sample date” for cases from laboratory reports. The surveillance definition for acute hepatitis B is “HBsAg positive, anti-HBc IgM positive and abnormal liver function tests with a pattern consistent with acute viral hepatitis.”
