  • 1. Pregnancy Outcomes Archived
    Table: 82-224-X
    Description:

    This product brings together statistics on live births, induced abortions and fetal loss (stillbirths and miscarriages) to provide comprehensive statistics on outcomes of pregnancy.

    Counts and rates for the three outcomes of pregnancy as well as total pregnancies are presented by the province or territory of residence and by the age group of the woman.

    Release date: 2008-10-20
  • 2. The Canadian census mortality follow-up study, 1991 through 2001 Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800310681
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This article describes the methods used to link census data from the long-form questionnaire to mortality data, and reports simple findings for the major groups, defined by income, education, occupation, language and ethnicity, Aboriginal or visible minority status, and disability status.

    Release date: 2008-09-17
  • 3. Motor vehicle accident deaths, 1979 to 2004 Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800310648
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study reviews motor vehicle deaths from 1979 through 2004, with a more in-depth look from 2000 onwards. Data are from the Canadian Vital Statistics - Death Database, which is composed of information from death certificates.

    Release date: 2008-07-16
  • 4. Estimation of attributable number of deaths and standard errors from simple and complex sampled cohorts Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X200600110400
    Description:

    Estimates of the attributable number of deaths (AD) from all-causes can be obtained by first estimating population attributable risk (AR) adjusted for confounding covariates, and then multiplying the AR by the number of deaths determined from vital mortality statistics that occurred for a specific time period. Proportional hazard regression estimates of adjusted relative hazards obtained from mortality follow-up data from a cohort or a survey is combined with a joint distribution of risk factor and confounding covariates to compute an adjusted AR. Two estimators of adjusted AR are examined, which differ according to the reference population that the joint distribution of risk factor and confounders is obtained. The two types of reference populations considered: (i) the population that is represented by the baseline cohort and (ii) a population that is external to the cohort. Methods based on influence function theory are applied to obtain expressions for estimating the variance of the AD estimator. These variance estimators can be applied to data that range from simple random samples to (sample) weighted multi-stage stratified cluster samples from national household surveys. The variance estimation of AD is illustrated in an analysis of excess deaths due to having a non-ideal body mass index using data from the second National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES) Mortality Study and the 1999-2002 NHANES. These methods can also be used to estimate the attributable number of cause-specific deaths or incident cases of a disease and their standard errors when the time period for the accrual of is short.

  • 5. Modelling life expectancy at birth in small cities in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X200600110445
    Description:

    When Chiang's "standard" method is used, calculating life expectancy for (small) census agglomerations in Canada can produce estimates whose confidence intervals are too wide to be useful. However, we have been able to show that by combining small area estimation methods and simulation methods, we can obtain narrower confidence intervals.

  • 6. Life expectancy in the Inuit-inhabited areas of Canada, 1989 to 2003 Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800110463
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This article uses a geographic-based approach to estimate life expectancy in areas where at least 33% of residents were Inuit. The data are from the Canadian Mortality Database and the Census of Canada.

Search help

How do I use the filters and the search box?

  • You can initiate a search by entering keywords or selecting filters (e.g., under Subject, Geography, etc.) on the left side of the page.

  • Filters can be used together or in any combination. Each time you select a filter, the results on the page are updated.

  • To start a new search, click on the Clear all button above the search box or deselect each filter.

  • Specified keywords and filters appear above the search box. You can deselect any or all the tags to refine or clear your search.

How do I refine my search?

  • You can enter keywords in the search box. It is not necessary to use “+” or “, “ or “AND”.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.

Sort help

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides three options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.
