Because we did not collect mortality data of people who did not have diabetes, we do not know the situation of CVD mortality for them [ 37].
The dire situation of maternal mortality propelled the Government of Kenya to undertake a free maternal care policy in 2013 as well as launch the First Lady of Kenya's Beyond Zero campaign aimed at scaling up prenatal and postnatal health care.
In this situation, the analysis of mortality data may increase the understanding of any relation between the treatment of MGCT and the development of subsequent lethal, but benign disorders.
The implication of this is that, in a situation of falling CHD mortality rates where trends in absolute mortality rates would be expected to be converging, it is important that both absolute and relative mortality rates are presented.
In this way, the social structure supports the functioning of the military because individuals who are perceived to be more trustworthy attain higher social dominance, a necessity when leading subordinates into situations of high mortality risk.
Hence, the level of life expectancy alone cannot provide the complete picture of mortality situation in a population.
The theory of competing risks of death (Chiang, 1968) was used to obtain the disease-specific ('crude') probabilities of death needed in a hypothetical situation of reduced cause-specific mortality.
This evaluation led us to perceive that reflecting on the positive and negative points and on the situation of maternal morbidity and mortality in this country was important in promoting changes in the attitudes and behavior of the investigators themselves and of their colleagues.
If subclinical "reactive" CMV infection is most important in the etiology of mortality, then situations that cause CMV reactivation over the lifecourse, such as stress, inflammation caused by co-infections, immunosuppression and aging may play important key roles in determining the extent to which CMV infection is detrimental to health.
SpO2 may be a good predictor of mortality in situations where spirometry is not available and in populations with a higher frequency of low SpO2, especially when used as part of a risk-scoring system.
