.. not available for a specific reference period Notes: All counts were randomly rounded to a base of five to protect confidentiality. Age-specific rates were based on rounded counts; ASMRs were not. ASMRs were calculated using weights from the 2011 Canadian standard population, see reference 26; age-specific rates were not age-standardized. A positive annual percent change represents an increase in the ASMR, or age-specific mortality rate, over time, while a negative change represents a decrease. No changes in trend were detected in any of the analyses. Quebec is excluded for consistency with the incidence data. Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Vital Statistics–Death Database. |
