Assignment of events to LHAs or HRs was based upon the usual residence of the mother for live births and stillbirths, and the usual residence of the decedent for deaths. Tables A and C provide population estimates for 1998, as well as numbers and rates for live births, stillbirths, deaths, infant deaths, low birth weight live births, cesarean live birth deliveries, pre-term live births, live births to teenage mothers, and live births to elderly gravida.

Tables B and D provide the Standardized Morality Ratio (SMR) and statistical significance, number of deaths (in column labeled Death), trends in Age Standardized Mortality Rates (in column labelled TR) based on three-year moving averages from 1986 to 1998, Potential Years of Life Lost Index (PYLLI), and the number of deaths under age 75 (in column labeled D <75). Statistical significance is indicated by a box around the statistic. These statistics are provided for deaths from: all causes; all cancers; lung cancer; endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases; diabetes; circulatory system diseases; ischaemic heart disease; cerebrovascular disease and stroke; diseases of the arteries; arterioles and capillaries; respiratory system diseases; pneumonia and influenza; chronic lung disease; digestive system diseases; motor vehicle traffic accidents; accidental falls; suicide; alcohol-related causes; medically treatable diseases; and drug-induced causes. The ICD9 codes for these categories are shown in Appendix 4, except ischaemic heart disease (ICD9 410-414).

This appendix consists of four tables:
