BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1995-1999

Preamble to Appendix 3

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 1999, and counts and rates for the five year period 1995-1999 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. Due to space limitations, the footnotes for Tables A and C are shown on the reverse side under Tables B and D.

Tables B and D provide the Standardized Morality Ratios (SMR) with statistical significance, number of deaths (in the column labeled Death), trends in Age Standardized Mortality Rates (in the column labeled TR) based on three-year moving averages from 1986 to 1999, Potential Years of Life Lost Index (PYLLI) with statistical significance, and the number of deaths under age 75 (in the column labeled D <75). Statistical significance is indicated by a box around the statistic. These statistics are provided for:
