Distribution by region

Figure 3 shows regional distribution of Acinetobacter spp. bacteraemia in 2007. Regions with high incidence include London (3.42 per 100,000 population), West Midlands (2.76/100,000), and North West (2.52/100,000). Regions/countries with low incidence include Wales (0.98/100,000), North East (1.02/100,000), and South West (1.33/100,000). The overall reported incidence for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland is 2.14 per 100,000 population. It is important to note that regional incidence rates are affected by completeness of regional reporting as well as the regional distribution of specialist care units.
