Description
The key theme emerging from discussions about the future of the dashboard statistics is the necessity to align core offerings with RSTP measures. These measures have been carefully considered and can be easily defended. Currently, the dashboard statistics library already covers a significant portion of these measures, specifically the numerators on a per unit basis. Utilizing the well-established numerators and denominators from RSTP should be the foundation of the new stats. However, their integration requires interpreting the numerators and denominators within the context of the UKRDC dataset.
Since the UKRDC dataset differs from the RSTP dataset, adaptations will be necessary in most cases. When data is unavailable in the UKRDC, conscious decisions should be made to identify suitable substitutes. For example, in the case of CKD metrics, where we lack the total number of patients registered at a GP surgery, we can use the number of patients from whom we have received tests at that surgery instead.
It is crucial to effectively integrate the ability to compare these metrics, which is addressed in a separate use case found here:

This will include both peer group and longitudinal comparisons. The integration with the current UI layout will be planned at a later date.

Steps
- Sprint where CKD calculator is written from scratch
- review of changes that need to be made
- adapt remaining calculators to include remaining RSTP measures
