Age standardisation – an indigenous standard?
The study of inequities in health is a critical component of monitoring government obligations to uphold the rights of Indigenous Peoples. In Aotearoa/New Zealand the indigenous Māori population has a substantially younger age structure than the non-indigenous population making it necessary to account for age differences when comparing population health outcomes. An age-standardised rate is a s...
متن کاملSupplementary techniques to age - standardisation in Indigenous health status reporting
Key Findings Crude rates depict the true magnitude of the risk as an average measure at the total population level. However, they are heavily affected by the respective age composition of the populations being compared. Once standardised for age composition, the rates become comparable. However, the standardised rates are hypothetical. In all cancer incidence for example, they are not the true ...
متن کاملMethotrexate: the gold standard without standardisation.
Even in the current era of biological targeted therapies, methotrexate (MTX) remains the initial preferred antirheumatic drug and is widely prescribed for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The combination of its perceived efficacy, acceptable safety profile and low cost, as well as decades of clinical experience with its use that have been accumulated by current and previous generations ...
متن کاملChapter 7 : Age - standardisation and denominators
Objective The key determinant of cancer incidence is age, as the risk of cancer increases exponentially with increasing age� The crude rate of incidence is therefore influenced by the population structure, and cannot be used alone to evaluate whether the burden of cancer differs between populations� To compare the incidence of cancer, the summary rates should be independent of age� A common way...
متن کاملAn abstract standardisation theorem
The standardisation theorem is a key theorem in the-calculus. It implies that any normal form can be reached by the normal order (leftmost outermost) strategy. The theorem states that any reduction may be rearranged in a top-down and left-to-right order. This also holds in orthogonal term rewriting systems (TRS), although the left-to-right order is more subtle. We give a new presentation of the...
