Department of Health and Human Services State Center for Health Statistics iv 1 Vital Statistics – Volume 2 • 2005 Division of Public Health N.C. Department of Health and Human Services State Center for Health Statistics Introduction North Carolina Vital Statistics, Volume 2: Leading Causes of Death describes North Carolina’s total and cause-specific deaths at the state and county level. More than a dozen of North Carolina’s leading causes of death are depicted in tables and maps. In addition, major site-specific cancer deaths and total infant deaths are tabulated and mapped. This edition includes the number of deaths and unadjusted death rates for 2005 and the number of deaths and unadjusted and age-adjusted death rates for 2001-2005. Beginning in 1999, causes of death were coded using the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). For the years 1979 through 1998, the ninth revision of the ICD was used. We have not combined mortality data across these two revisions of the ICD due to comparability problems. “Comparability ratios” for the United States have been provided by the National Center for Health Statistics, providing numerical adjustments for comparing data across the ICD revisions. Appendix A shows these comparability ratios for the major causes of death presented in this volume. Be sure to read the Technical Notes section of this publication. This section explains some of the limitations of the data and addresses issues of interpretation. Many of the deaths rates presented here are based on small numbers and should be interpreted with caution. A detailed breakout of cause-specific deaths by age, race, sex, and county of residence can be found in the companion publication North Carolina Detailed Mortality Statistics. This and other publications (listed and described on the inside front cover of this publication) are available from the State Center for Health Statistics. Most are available through our Web site (shown below) and some are also available in printed form.

The Sex-specific death rates cannot be compared to the other leading causes of death because the denominators are sex-specific. Therefore, in ranking the causes of death --- for example, in ranking the leading cancer sites - one must use the observed numbers of deaths. Breast cancer includes a few deaths to males, while the denominator of the rate is the female population, the primary population at risk. See Appendices for cause of death codes.

Department of Health and Human Services State Center for Health Statistics Computation of Death Rates In this report, total death rates and cause-specific death rates are expressed as resident deaths per 100,000 population. In 1999 and earlier editions of Leading Causes of Death, the total death rates were expressed per 1,000 population. To compare the total death rates in this edition to the total death rates published in 1999 and earlier editions, just move the decimal point two places to the left. Deaths are assigned to cause-of-death categories based on the underlying (or primary) cause of death from the death certificate. Appendix B describes the cause-of-death categories in terms of codes from the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases. All rates in Tables 1-20 use total population in the denominator except rates for the sex-specific cancer sites use male or female population in the denominator. Population denominators for these rates were provided by the Office of State Planning. The infant mortality rates in Table 21 are computed as the number of resident deaths under one year of age per 1,000 resident live births. Deaths in this report are assigned to place of residence. For deaths of people in long-term institu-tions (mental, penal, old age, orphan, nursing home, rest home, etc.), the institution is considered the usual residence if the decedent lived in the institution at least one year. College students and military personnel are considered residents of the college or military community. The following definitions apply to the rates of this report: Unadjusted Annual Death Rate: The annual death rates are computed as resident deaths per 100,000 population. Unadjusted 5-Year Death Rate: The average annual death rates are computed as average resident deaths per 100,000 average population. These multi-year rates are computed by summing the deaths for the five years, summing the population for the five years, dividing the former by the latter, and then multiplying the result by 100,000. These rates are shown in the first set of county maps (Figures 1.A, 2.A, etc.). Age-Adjusted 5-Year Death Rate: The average annual age-adjusted rates are computed by the direct method. These rates are also expressed as deaths per 100,000 population and represent the rate that would be expected if the age composition of the state and each county’s population were the same as that projected for the nation in the year 2000 (the “standard” population). These rates are shown in the second set of county maps (Figures 1.B, 2.B, etc.). The user should not compare an adjusted death rate to an unadjusted death rate. Also, adjusted rates for different time periods cannot be directly compared unless they were adjusted by the same standard population. See Appendix E for a more complete discussion of age-adjusted death rates. The age-adjusted death rates in this 2005 edition of Leading Causes of Death were calculated using the projected United States 2000 population as the standard. In 1997 and earlier editions, different standard populations were used. Therefore the age-adjusted rates in the current edition cannot be compared to the age-adjusted rates in these older editions. When using older editions of Leading Causes of Death, please read the explanatory notes to understand the technical details of how the age-adjusted rates were calculated. The special, expanded 1998 edition of Leading Causes of Death includes five-year age-adjusted death rates, using the projected United States 2000 standard population, over a twenty year period (1979-1998) to allow for comparisons of the ad-justed death rates over time. The death data were consistently coded under the ninth revision of the International Classification of Diseases from 1979 through 1998. The data from this 1998 publication are available on the State Center for Health Statistics Web site. 100 Vital Statistics – Volume 2 • 2005 Division of Public Health N.C. Department of Health and Human Services State Center for Health Statistics We changed the standard population to the projected United States 2000 population to be consis-tent with the new practices of the National Center for Health Statistics. This allows direct compari-sons of the state and county age-adjusted death rates for North Carolina to the published United States age-adjusted death rates. In age-adjusting the death rates in this publication, 10 age groups are used to compute age-specific death rates for each geographic area and cause of death. These rates are then applied to the projected 2000 United States standard population by age: 0-4, 5-14, 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45- 54, 55-64, 65-74, 75-84, and 85+. For details of the age adjustment process, refer to Appendix E. For the maps, the natural breaks method was used. This method identifies breakpoints by looking for groupings and patterns inherent in the data. These maps show five levels of death rates, where level one is the lowest rate interval and level five the highest. A word of caution: Rates for sex-specific cancers (e.g., prostate) use male or femal

Department of Health and Human Services State Center for Health Statistics iv 1 Vital Statistics – Volume 2 • 2005 Division of Public Health N.C. Department of Health and Human Services State Center for Health Statistics Introduction North Carolina Vital Statistics, Volume 2: Leading Causes of Death describes North Carolina’s total and cause-specific deaths at the state and county level. More than a dozen of North Carolina’s leading causes of death are depicted in tables and maps. In addition, major site-specific cancer deaths and total infant deaths are tabulated and mapped. This edition includes the number of deaths and unadjusted death rates for 2005 and the number of deaths and unadjusted and age-adjusted death rates for 2001-2005. Beginning in 1999, causes of death were coded using the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). For the years 1979 through 1998, the ninth revision of the ICD was used. We have not combined mortality data across these two revisions of the ICD due to comparability problems. “Comparability ratios” for the United States have been provided by the National Center for Health Statistics, providing numerical adjustments for comparing data across the ICD revisions. Appendix A shows these comparability ratios for the major causes of death presented in this volume. Be sure to read the Technical Notes section of this publication. This section explains some of the limitations of the data and addresses issues of interpretation. Many of the deaths rates presented here are based on small numbers and should be interpreted with caution. A detailed breakout of cause-specific deaths by age, race, sex, and county of residence can be found in the companion publication North Carolina Detailed Mortality Statistics. This and other publications (listed and described on the inside front cover of this publication) are available from the State Center for Health Statistics. Most are available through our Web site (shown below) and some are also available in printed form.

The Sex-specific death rates cannot be compared to the other leading causes of death because the denominators are sex-specific. Therefore, in ranking the causes of death --- for example, in ranking the leading cancer sites - one must use the observed numbers of deaths. Breast cancer includes a few deaths to males, while the denominator of the rate is the female population, the primary population at risk. See Appendices for cause of death codes.

Department of Health and Human Services State Center for Health Statistics 99 Vital Statistics – Volume 2 • 2005 Division of Public Health N.C. Department of Health and Human Services State Center for Health Statistics Computation of Death Rates In this report, total death rates and cause-specific death rates are expressed as resident deaths per 100,000 population. In 1999 and earlier editions of Leading Causes of Death, the total death rates were expressed per 1,000 population. To compare the total death rates in this edition to the total death rates published in 1999 and earlier editions, just move the decimal point two places to the left. Deaths are assigned to cause-of-death categories based on the underlying (or primary) cause of death from the death certificate. Appendix B describes the cause-of-death categories in terms of codes from the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases. All rates in Tables 1-20 use total population in the denominator except rates for the sex-specific cancer sites use male or female population in the denominator. Population denominators for these rates were provided by the Office of State Planning. The infant mortality rates in Table 21 are computed as the number of resident deaths under one year of age per 1,000 resident live births. Deaths in this report are assigned to place of residence. For deaths of people in long-term institu-tions (mental, penal, old age, orphan, nursing home, rest home, etc.), the institution is considered the usual residence if the decedent lived in the institution at least one year. College students and military personnel are considered residents of the college or military community. The following definitions apply to the rates of this report: Unadjusted Annual Death Rate: The annual death rates are computed as resident deaths per 100,000 population. Unadjusted 5-Year Death Rate: The average annual death rates are computed as average resident deaths per 100,000 average population. These multi-year rates are computed by summing the deaths for the five years, summing the population for the five years, dividing the former by the latter, and then multiplying the result by 100,000. These rates are shown in the first set of county maps (Figures 1.A, 2.A, etc.). Age-Adjusted 5-Year Death Rate: The average annual age-adjusted rates are computed by the direct method. These rates are also expressed as deaths per 100,000 population and represent the rate that would be expected if the age composition of the state and each county’s population were the same as that projected for the nation in the year 2000 (the “standard” population). These rates are shown in the second set of county maps (Figures 1.B, 2.B, etc.). The user should not compare an adjusted death rate to an unadjusted death rate. Also, adjusted rates for different time periods cannot be directly compared unless they were adjusted by the same standard population. See Appendix E for a more complete discussion of age-adjusted death rates. The age-adjusted death rates in this 2005 edition of Leading Causes of Death were calculated using the projected United States 2000 population as the standard. In 1997 and earlier editions, different standard populations were used. Therefore the age-adjusted rates in the current edition cannot be compared to the age-adjusted rates in these older editions. When using older editions of Leading Causes of Death, please read the explanatory notes to understand the technical details of how the age-adjusted rates were calculated. The special, expanded 1998 edition of Leading Causes of Death includes five-year age-adjusted death rates, using the projected United States 2000 standard population, over a twenty year period (1979-1998) to allow for comparisons of the ad-justed death rates over time. The death data were consistently coded under the ninth revision of the International Classification of Diseases from 1979 through 1998. The data from this 1998 publication are available on the State Center for Health Statistics Web site. 100 Vital Statistics – Volume 2 • 2005 Division of Public Health N.C. Department of Health and Human Services State Center for Health Statistics We changed the standard population to the projected United States 2000 population to be consis-tent with the new practices of the National Center for Health Statistics. This allows direct compari-sons of the state and county age-adjusted death rates for North Carolina to the published United States age-adjusted death rates. In age-adjusting the death rates in this publication, 10 age groups are used to compute age-specific death rates for each geographic area and cause of death. These rates are then applied to the projected 2000 United States standard population by age: 0-4, 5-14, 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45- 54, 55-64, 65-74, 75-84, and 85+. For details of the age adjustment process, refer to Appendix E. For the maps, the natural breaks method was used. This method identifies breakpoints by looking for groupings and patterns inherent in the data. These maps show five levels of death rates, where level one is the lowest rate interval and level five the highest. A word of caution: Rates for sex-specific cancers (e.g., prostate) use male or femal |
