*Deprivation status was missing for 37 male and 19 female out of hospital deaths, and 320 male and 147 female hospitalised cases, not included in this table. †Age standardised rates, using the direct method with five‐year age classes, and the world standard population. ‡Relative risks are age adjusted, using the Poisson model with five‐year age classes and the population of Rome aged 35–84 years. §Low rates of out of hospital deaths among younger women necessitated the use of 10 year age classes instead.
