Standardization of cumulative failure rates

2. Rates and Rate Standardization

Direct standardization (age-adjusted death rates).

Most population-based mortality objectives and subobjectives in Healthy People 2000 are tracked using age-adjusted rates from the National Vital Statistics System (appendix table I). The exceptions are deaths from alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, all motor vehicle crashes, and work-related injuries (objectives 4.1, 9.3, and 10.1), which are monitored with crude death rates from other data...

Implant failure: regional versus cumulative evaluation.

In this paper the success rate of implant therapy in various bone regions is discussed. The objective is to determine whether differences existed in success rates of cylinder implants placed in different areas in the both maxilla and mandible. Forty four patients have been treated and reviewed five years after the placement of the fixed prosthetic restoration. The patients were provided with a ...

Multiple standardization of parasuicide ('attempted suicide') rates in Edinburgh.

SEVERAL studies of 'attempted suicide', better termed parasuicide, have been carried out in Edinburgh in recent years. The city is well placed for such studies as the great majority of cases receiving hospital attention are admitted to the Regional Poisoning Treatment Centre (RPTC) at the Royal Infirmary. Statistics compiled by the Scottish Home and Health Department show that in 1967 95% of al...
