Data notes:
- a Vital Records:
- Information is collected from birth, death and fetal death certificates. Records with missing information for the indicator of interest are excluded when calculating rates and percentages for that indicator. Population based rates use population estimates provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. ICD-10 codes are used for cause of death.
- b Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System-SPARCS:
- Information about hospitalizations is collected through the hospital inpatient discharge data system. Each hospitalization receives an ICD-9 code at discharge that indicates the primary reason for the hospitalization. There are also up to 14 other diagnosis codes recorded to further describe the hospitalization. Statistics presented in these tables are based on the primary diagnosis unless otherwise noted. This data system does not include information about events that did not result in a hospitalization, such as cases that were only treated in a hospital emergency room. Numbers and rates are based on the number of hospitalizations that occurred and not the number of individuals who were hospitalized.
- c New York State and County Safety Data Reports:
- New York State motor vehicle accident data are compiled by the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles from accident reports submitted by police agencies and by motorists. Data are from the alcohol-related accident summary report. For more traffic safety information and data, see the Governor's Traffic Safety01
* The standard population used for age adjustment was the 2000 U.S. population.
