For more information on the interpretation of the data please see the notes below.
Notes:
These notes apply to both the Graph and the Data Table.
- Indicator Definition: Deaths from all causes
- Cells highlighted in yellow should be interpreted with caution, as the measure itself or at least one of the components used to calculate the value has a coefficient of variation between 16.6 to 33.3%.
- Cells highlighted in red indicate that values have been suppressed because the measure itself or at least one of the components used to calculate the value has a coefficient of variation greater than 33.3%, a small numerator (<10), small denominator (<20), or empty age-standardization groups.
- Cells highlighted in blue indicate that values have been suppressed because their interpretation is complex or not possible.
- A dash (-) symbol indicates that the value was suppressed for one of the reasons described above, or that the calculation was not applicable.
- When an indicator and a stratifier are crossed, the age interval is limited to that available in both the indicator and the stratifier.
- Caution is necessary when interpreting estimates based on fewer than 45 observations in the numerator.
- Caution is warranted when comparing results of two different reference periods. Users must note that estimates for 2009–2011 and 2016–2020 reference periods were coded to different suppression rules:
- for data from 2009 - 2011: If the numerator for a subpopulation category is less than 5, the result for this category is suppressed.
- For data from 2016–2020: a) if a subpopulation category has fewer than 10 observations in the numerator or less than 20 in the denominator, all estimates are suppressed; b) if coefficient of variance (CV) >33.3 for crude rate or age-standardized rate, the estimate is also suppressed.
- Data are age-standardized to the 2016 Canadian population, using five-year age groups
