Note: SMR - Standardized Mortality Ratio. PYLLI - Potential Years of Life Lost Index. SMR, PYLLI, and Rate are based on the five-year period from 1994 to 1998. Death is the total number of deaths for the 1994 to 1998 period D <75 is the number of deaths under 75 years of age. * Statistical testing indicates that observed deaths are statistically different from the expected deaths (p<0.05 two tailed). + denotes significance based on less than five cases. TR - Trend in ASMR based on three year moving average from 1985 to 1998 ìindicates a statistically significantly positive (increasing) trend and îindicates a statistically significantly negative (decreasing) trend (in areas with an average of less than one death per year in the 14-year period, 1985 to 1998, trends are not shown). See Glossary under Trend Analysis of ASMR for a full explanation. TR** - Trend reflects change in Medical Certification of Death form introduced in 1993. Please see Highlights to Table 39 for details. Seven live births with gender unknown are excluded. Three deaths with gender unknown are excluded from mortality data in Tables B and D. N.S. - Not Stated. Non-residents are excluded.
