Measures of Mortality & Mortality in Different Populations
Mortality is a term which means “death” or describes death and related issues
Mortality Table
Selected Mortality Rates
Maternal Mortality
Rates • With rates, the numerator is included in the denominator • Rate is the number of or frequency of a disease per unit size of population
Ratio
Ratios • Ratio – the relation in number, degree or quantity existing between two similar things 25 ♀ : 30 ♂ • Ratio as a fraction 25/30 or 5/6
Proportions • Compare like populations or like illnesses within a population üFor example, 40 children are currently ill with measles, while 80 children all together have or have had the measles
Mortality • Deaths; describes death; related issues • Graunt ü 1600 s – Bills of Mortality • Farr (1807 -1883) ü Registrar general; vital statistics üCauses üRegistration
Types of Mortality Rates/Ratio • • • • annual death rate crude death rates infant mortality rates (ratio) neonatal mortality rates postneonatal mortality rates Your Assignment: perinatal mortality rates familiarize yourself fetal death rates with the definitions fetal death ratios of these terms abortion rates maternal mortality rates adjusted mortality rates standardized mortality ratio specific death rates proportionate mortality rate- case fatality rate mortality crossover – mortality time trends
Three Levels of Rates • Crude rates • Adjusted rates • Specific rates/ratios
Annual Death Rates • “General” (crude) mortality rate ü a population group exposed to risk of death ü a time period • Crude Mortality Rate = # of deaths occurring in that population during that period of time
Crude Death Rates • Does NOT account for differences of age, sex, etc. in any aspect of death • Info needed: ü total deaths ü total population ü a given period of time
Crude Death Rates (cont’d)
Cause Specific Mortality Rate
Cause Specific Mortality Rate
Case Fatality Rate
Specific Death Rates • For example: Early life mortality measures
Specific Death Rates • For example: infant mortality
Infant Death Rates in the U. S.
Specific Death Rates (cont’d) • Neonatal mortality rate • Postneonatal mortality rate
Neonatal & Postneonatal Death Rates
Specific Death Rates (cont’d) • Perinatal mortality rates
Specific Death Rates(cont’d) • Fetal death rate
Maternal Mortality Rates
Maternal Mortality Rates(cont’d)
Adjusted Death Rates • Allows comparisons by controlling for differences in some variables üStandardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) üProportionate Mortality Ratio (PMR) üSpecific Mortality Rates • Does NOT account for differences of age, sex, etc. in any aspect of death • Info needed: ü total deaths ü total population ü a given period of time
Adjusted Death Rates Age Adjusted Rates • Direct Method

Other Issues Related to Mortality • Mortality Cross-over ü Death of a subject that started in one group but “crossed over” to another group during course of study • Mortality Time Trends • Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) üYPLL Rate
