---|---|
Computation: | (Numerator ÷ Denominator) x 100,000 Rates are directly age-standardised to the 2001 Australian population. Presented per 100,000 population. |

Disaggregation: | 2008 to 2018—Nationally, by underlying cause of death and sex. 2017, 2018—State and territory, by underlying cause of death and sex. 2017, 2018—Primary Health Network (PHN) by underlying cause of death and sex 2014–2018—Nationally, by Indigenous status, underlying cause of death and sex. Some disaggregation may result in numbers too small for publication. Disaggregation by Indigenous status will be based on data only from jurisdictions for which the quality of Indigenous identification is considered acceptable—New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Northern Territory. Due to the small number of Indigenous deaths reported each year, 5-year combined data will be reported for Indigenous status disaggregations. |

Comments: | Most recent data available for 2020 Australian Health Performance Framework reporting:
Deaths registered in 2015 and earlier are based on the final version of cause of death data; deaths registered in 2016 are based on the revised version; and deaths registered in 2017 are based on the preliminary version. Revised and preliminary versions are subject to further revision by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). A number of updates to the ICD-10 were applied to the 2013 causes of death data. Details of the impact of these changes on the mortality data are described in ABS Implementation of the Iris Software: Understanding Coding and Process Improvements. Prior to 2013, mortality data were coded using ICD-10 2006 version. 2013 data were coded using ICD-10 2013 version; 2014–2017 data were coded using ICD-10 2015 version; 2018 data were coded using ICD-10 2016 version. Single year data will be reported for time series analysis. Denominators used in the calculation of rates for the Indigenous population are ABS estimates (Series B, 2016 Census-based). Non-Indigenous estimates are only available for Census years; in the intervening years the population is calculated by subtracting the estimated Indigenous population from the total population Estimated Resident Population (ERP). Indigenous and non-Indigenous analysis excludes records where Indigenous status was 'not stated'. Due to the small number of Indigenous deaths reported each year, 5-year combined data will be reported for the current reporting period. Data by remoteness and Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage (IRSD) may be available, pending assessment of data quality. |
