Estimating cause-specific mortality rates using recovered carcasses.
Stranding networks, in which carcasses are recovered and sent to diagnostic laboratories for necropsy and determination of cause of death, have been developed to monitor the health of marine mammal and bird populations. These programs typically accumulate comprehensive, long-term datasets on causes of death that can be used to identify important sources of mortality or changes in mortality patt...
متن کاملCause-specific mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa and Bangladesh.
OBJECTIVE To provide internationally comparable data on the frequencies of different causes of death. METHODS We analysed verbal autopsies obtained during 1999 -2002 from 12 demographic surveillance sites in sub-Saharan Africa and Bangladesh to find cause-specific and age-specific mortality rates. The cause-of-death codes used by the sites were harmonized to conform to the ICD-10 system, and ...
متن کاملEstimating Population Cause-Specific Mortality Fractions from in-Hospital Mortality: Validation of a New Method
BACKGROUND Cause-of-death data for many developing countries are not available. Information on deaths in hospital by cause is available in many low- and middle-income countries but is not a representative sample of deaths in the population. We propose a method to estimate population cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMFs) using data already collected in many middle-income and some low-income...
متن کاملThe effect of different sensitivity, specificity and cause-specific mortality fractions on the estimation of differences in cause-specific mortality rates in children from studies using verbal autopsies.
BACKGROUND Verbal autopsies (VA) are increasingly being used in developing countries to determine causes of death, but little attention is generally given to the misclassification effects of the VA. This paper considers the effect of misclassification on the estimation of differences in cause-specific mortality rates between two populations. METHODS The bias in the percentage difference in ca...
متن کاملMigration and Pacific mortality: estimating migration effects on Pacific mortality rates using Bayesian models.
Pacific people living in New Zealand have higher mortality rates than New Zealand residents of European/Other ethnicity. The aim of this paper is to see whether Pacific mortality rates vary by natality and duration of residence. We used linked census-mortality information for 25- to 74-year-olds in the 2001 census followed for up to three years. Hierarchical Bayesian modeling provided a means o...
