58. Estimation of attributable number of deaths and standard errors from simple and complex sampled cohorts Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X200600110400
Description:
Estimates of the attributable number of deaths (AD) from all-causes can be obtained by first estimating population attributable risk (AR) adjusted for confounding covariates, and then multiplying the AR by the number of deaths determined from vital mortality statistics that occurred for a specific time period. Proportional hazard regression estimates of adjusted relative hazards obtained from mortality follow-up data from a cohort or a survey is combined with a joint distribution of risk factor and confounding covariates to compute an adjusted AR. Two estimators of adjusted AR are examined, which differ according to the reference population that the joint distribution of risk factor and confounders is obtained. The two types of reference populations considered: (i) the population that is represented by the baseline cohort and (ii) a population that is external to the cohort. Methods based on influence function theory are applied to obtain expressions for estimating the variance of the AD estimator. These variance estimators can be applied to data that range from simple random samples to (sample) weighted multi-stage stratified cluster samples from national household surveys. The variance estimation of AD is illustrated in an analysis of excess deaths due to having a non-ideal body mass index using data from the second National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES) Mortality Study and the 1999-2002 NHANES. These methods can also be used to estimate the attributable number of cause-specific deaths or incident cases of a disease and their standard errors when the time period for the accrual of is short.

60. Growth models: an interesting approach to study the evolution of the health status of the elderly Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019491
Geography: Canada
Description:
Evaluating the impact of changes to services on the health status of frail elderly adults calls for longitudinal studies. Many subjects are however lost during follow-up because of the high incidence of death in this population. Traditional methods of repeated measures analysis are thus inappropriate since they ignore subjects with incomplete follow-up data. This leads to a considerable reduction in sample size and to biases.

The underlying cause is selected from a number of conditions listed on the medical certificate of death.
The underlying cause is presented by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) codes, established by the World Health Organization (WHO, 1992). Beginning in 2000, causes of death in Canada are coded according to the 10th revision of the Classification, referred to as ICD-10.

3. Risk factors for substance-related acute toxicity deaths in Canada from 2016 to 2021: Findings from the 2016 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600200002
Description: Critically high numbers of poisoning-related deaths, also known as acute toxicity deaths (ATDs), occur every year in Canada, with the number of deaths attributed to accidental drug poisonings having increased dramatically since 2016. Research about the age, sex, and geographic location of people dying of acute toxicities in Canada show that some populations are disproportionately affected. However, national-level information about decedents’ socioeconomic characteristics remains limited. This study identifies populations facing higher (or lower) rates of ATDs, based on age-standardized mortality rates, relative to a comparison group, using integrated Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort data.

5. Creating and enhancing a population-based linked health database: methods, challenges, and applications Archived
Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X19990015662
Description:
As the availability of both health utilization and outcome information becomes increasingly important to health care researchers and policy makers, the ability to link person-specific health data becomes a critical objective. This type of linkage of population-based administrative health databases has been realized in British Columbia. The database was created by constructing an historical file of all persons registered with the health care system, and then by probabilistically linking various program files to this 'coordinating' file. The first phase of development included the linkage of hospital discharge data, physician billing data, continuing care data, data about drug costs for the elderly, births data and deaths data. The second phase of development has seen the addition data sources external to the Ministry of Health including cancer incidence data, workers' compensation data, and income assistance data.

6. Recent development of software to analyse longitudinal studies: Examples from the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study Archived
Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X19980015015
Description:
In epidemiology analysis of longitudinal data is commonly accepted as providing the most robust measures of association between putative risk and selected outcomes such as death or cancer. SMARTIE is a SAS application for efficient analysis of longitudinal data. Based on person days at risk, it can handle multiple exits from and re-entries to risk, and derives outcome measures such as survival rates. Standardised Mortality Ratios (SMRs) and Cancer Incidence Ratios (SIRs). Summary data can be produced in a format easily ported to any modelling package such as Stats 5.0. We discuss the background to its development, the overall program structure, its command language, and finally we say something about the organization of outputs. Findings from survival studies using the Longitudinal Study of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) are used to demonstrate features of SMARTIE. This study is based on one per cent of the population of England and Wales. It is continually updated with the addition of new members and with information from birth, death and cancer records, and from the census.
