Table summary
This table displays the results of age-standardized mortality rates (asmrs) per 100. The information is grouped by cause of death (appearing as row headers), asmr, rr, rd, excess and % excess , calculated using total, q1 (lowest), q2, q3, q4 and q5 (highest) units of measure (appearing as column headers).

significantly different from rate for quintile 5 (p < 0.05)

RR = inter-quintile rate ratio (Q1 / Q5)
RD = inter-quintile rate difference (Q1 - Q5)
Excess = (total - Q5)
% excess = [100 * (total - Q5)/total]
Note: Reference population (person years at risk) for age-standardization was taken from internal cohort age distribution (5-year age groups).
