1. Data sources: Statistics Canada, Vital Statistics, Death Database and Demography Division (population estimates)
2. World Health Organization, International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9)
3. Counts in this table are based on three consecutive years of death data, summed and divided by three. Rates are based on these counts divided by the population estimate of the middle year. The reference period associated with these data reflects the mid-point of the three-year period.
4. Rates are age-standardized using the direct method, and the 1991 Canadian Census population structure. All rates are per 100,000 population. The use of a standard population results in more meaningful mortality rate comparisons because it adjusts for variations in population age distributions over time and across geographic areas.
5. Confidence intervals for crude counts and rates for selected causes of death data were produced using the Fleiss method. Source: Fleiss JL. Statistical Methods for Rates and Proportions, Second Edition. New York:, Wiley and Sons, 1981.
6. Confidence intervals for age-standardized rates were produced using the Spiegelman method. Source: Spiegelman M. "Introduction to Demography", Revised Edition. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 1968, page 113, formula 4.29.
7. The 95% confidence interval (CI) illustrates the degree of variability associated with a number or a rate. Wide confidence intervals indicate high variability, thus, these numbers or rates should be interpreted and compared with due caution.
8. Some age-standardized rates were suppressed (F) due to both a very small underlying count plus extremely high variability.
9. "Health regions" are defined by the provincial ministries of health. These are legislated administrative areas in all provinces except Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, the Ministry of Health uses statistical "zones" rather than its legislated administrative areas; the zones are aggregations of the nine district health authorities.
10. For complete Canadian coverage, each of the northern territories also represents a health region.
11. The health regions presented in this table are based on boundaries and names in effect as of June 2003.
12. A "peer group" is a grouping of health regions that have similar social and economic characteristics. The nine peer groups are identified by the letters A through I, which are appended to the health region 4-digit code.
13. In Ontario, Public health units (PHU) administer health promotion and disease prevention programs, and District health councils (DHC) are advisory, health planning organizations.
14. In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, health regions are referred to as Health Authorities (HA) or Regional Health Authorities (RHA).
15. The following symbols are used in Statistics Canada publications: (..) for figures not available, (...) for figures not appropriate or not applicable, and (x) for figures suppressed for the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act.
