Because of this definition update, the 2020 and 2021 annual avoidable mortality data and the 2018-to-2020 and 2019-to-2021 combined avoidable mortality data might not be directly comparable with data from previous years, and users should compare years with caution." 25,"Since the capacity of the provinces and territories to provide mortality data to Statistics Canada in a timely manner varies greatly, these data are subject to annual revisions to incorporate new and updated information. Accordingly, Statistics Canada updated the avoidable mortality 2018-to-2020 combined data and the 2018 to 2020 annual data that were published in April 2023. The counts and rates presented in this table reflect the versions of the mortality database released on August 28, 2023, and means that there would be small differences with the archived tables for the same year." 26,"Causes of death information is based on the underlying causes of death, which is defined by the World Health Organization as the disease or injury that initiated the train of events leading directly to death, or as the circumstances of the accident or violence that produced the fatal injury. The underlying cause of death is selected from the causes and conditions listed on the medical certificate of cause of death, which is completed by a medical professional, medical examiner or coroner." 27,"The 2019 to 2021 estimates are preliminary, based on what is reported to Statistics Canada by provincial and territorial vital statistics registries, and may not match figures from other sources, such as media reports, or counts and estimates from provincial and territorial health authorities and other agencies. Furthermore, deaths investigated by coroners or medical examiners, such as suicides, accidents, and homicides, often require lengthy investigation. Consequently, information on the causes of death, particularly among younger Canadians, whose deaths are more likely to result in an investigation, typically requires more time before it is reported to Statistics Canada.
