First and foremost, standard sources of mortality data do not permit disaggregation by ignition source.
In addition, we performed simulations assuming a considerably higher relative standard deviation of mortality risks (0.005 for all groups).
To compare the standard analysis of mortality and the analysis of YLL, we estimated the percentage change in daily mortality associated with changes in air pollutants.
As patient charts contain details on standard predictors of mortality (such as vital signs and clinical test results), the prediction of patient mortality using chart review analyses are thought to be more accurate than those based on administrative data.
The crude mortality, age-standardized rate of mortality by Chinese standard population (ASRMC), and age-standardized rate of mortality by world standard population (ASRMW) of liver cancer were 23.93/100,000, 17.48/100,000, and 17.17/100,000, respectively.
In India, analysis of data from the Indian National Family Household Survey of 1998-99, including over half a million participants of all ages in 26 states, revealed a considerable attenuation of the effects of standard-of-living on mortality in people aged 65 years and older, for whom caste (an index of status rather than material resources) seemed to be more relevant [ 9].
After performing and evaluating care according to all standards, retrospective evaluation of mortality might reveal unnoticed preventable causes of death.
Based on data for the period 1984 1995, Waltisperger et al. showed that age-specific mortality rates based on the BMH conformed to standard age patterns of mortality, and concluded that the data presented no indication of underreporting of deaths (34).
The selected items fulfil international standards for the description of mortality and common morbidities in very low birth-weight children [ 5, 6].
The overall in-program mortality was 0.9%, which was well within the bounds of standards set out in both national (<5% mortality) and international (<10% mortality) standards of care (17, 25).
