Data sources: Statistics Canada, Canadian Vital
Statistics, Death Database, and Demography Division (population estimates)
|
| 2. |
World Health Organization, International Statistical
Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision
(ICD-10). |
| 3. |
Rates in this table are based on three consecutive
years of death data, summed and divided by three. The average number is then
divided by the population estimate of the middle year. The reference period
associated with these data reflects the mid-point of the three-year period.
|
| 4. |
Rates are age-standardized using the direct
method, and the 1991 Canadian Census population structure. All rates
are per 100,000 population. The use of a standard population results
in more meaningful mortality rate comparisons because it adjusts for variations
in population age distributions over time and across geographic areas. |
| 5. |
Rates in this table exclude: deaths of non-residents
of Canada; deaths of residents of Canada whose province or territory of residence
was unknown; and, deaths for which age of decedent was unknown. |
| 6. |
Rates in this table are based on place of residence
for indicators derived from death events. |
| 7. |
Missing data on sex of the deceased were imputed
based on death registration number. |
| 8. |
Confidence intervals for crude rates for selected
causes of death data were produced using the Fleiss method. Source: Fleiss
JL. Statistical Methods for Rates and Proportions, Second Edition. New York,
Wiley and Sons, 1981. |
| 9. |
Confidence intervals for age-standardized rates
were produced using the Spiegelman method. Source: Spiegelman M. "Introduction
to Demography", Revised Edition. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University
Press, 1968, page 113, formula 4.29. |
| 10. |
The 95% confidence interval (CI) illustrates
the degree of variability associated with a number or a rate. Wide confidence
intervals indicate high variability, thus, these rates should be interpreted
and compared with due caution. |
| 11. |
Some age-standardized rates were suppressed
(F) due to both a very small underlying count plus extremely high variability.
|
| 12. |
Rates for prostate cancer (ICD-10 code
C61) were calculated for males only. |
| 13. |
"Health regions" are defined by the provincial
ministries of health. These are legislated administrative areas in all provinces
except Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, the Ministry of Health uses statistical
"zones" rather than its legislated administrative areas; the zones are aggregations
of the nine district health authorities. |
| 14. |
For complete Canadian coverage, each of the
northern territories also represents a health region. |
| 15. |
The health regions presented in this table
are based on boundaries and names in effect as of June 2003. |
| 16. |
A "peer group" is a grouping of health regions
that have similar social and economic characteristics. The nine peer groups
are identified by the letters A through I, which are appended to the health
region 4-digit code. |
| 17. |
In Ontario, Public health units (PHU) administer
health promotion and disease prevention programs, and District health councils
(DHC) are advisory, health planning organizations. |
| 18. |
In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, health
regions are referred to as Health Authorities (HA) or Regional Health Authorities
(RHA). |
| 19. |
The following standard symbols are used in
Statistics Canada publications: (..) for figures not available for a specific
reference period, (...) for figures not applicable, and (x) for figures suppressed
to meet the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act. |
