library(OpasnetUtils)
library(ggplot2)

d <- opbase.data("Op_en4635", subset = "d", include = list(Icd10 = c("W65-W74", "X60-X84_Y870", "X85-Y09_Y871")))
d$Year <- as.factor(d$Year)
d$Result <- as.numeric(as.character(d$Result))

ggplot(subset(d, Icd10 == "W65-W74"), aes(y = Result, x = Geo, colour = Year))+ geom_point() + labs(title="Drowning per 100000 py")
ggplot(subset(d, Icd10 == "X60-X84_Y870"), aes(y = Result, x = Geo, colour = Year))+ geom_point() + labs(title="Self-harm per 100000 py")
ggplot(subset(d, Icd10 == "X85-Y09_Y871"), aes(y = Result, x = Geo, colour = Year))+ geom_point() + labs(title="Assault per 100000 py")

Rationale

Data

The main data comes from Eurostat from where the file "Causes of death - standardised death rate per 100 000 inhabitants - annual Data (hlth_cd_asdr)" was downloaded on 12th Jan 2015 and stored in Opasnet base.

Other data:

WHO Mortality Database

Unit

Standardised incidence (1/100000py)
Deaths/year

Calculations

This code was used to manage the data before using the OpasnetBaseImport.
