Country | Estimated statin initiation rate (estimated 95% CI) | Unadjusted relative statin initiation rates | Adjusted relative statin initiation rates* |
---|---|---|---|
England | 14.82 (14.37 to 15.28) | 1 | 1 |
Northern Ireland | 18.52 (16.23 to 21.15) | 1.25 (1.09 to 1.43) | 1.40 (1.20 to 1.62) |

The second column shows unadjusted estimated rates for each country, with the third column showing rates for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales relative to a fixed rate of 1 unit per 1000 person-years for England. The fourth column shows these relative rates but where rates are adjusted to account for gender, age group in years and Townsend score quintile.
*Rates adjusted for gender, age group and Townsend score quintile.
