The objective of this study was to update rate files for the NIOSH Life Table Analysis System for Personal Computers (PC LTAS) reflecting the newly adopted tenth revision changes to the International Classification of Diseases.
PC LTAS allows researchers to conduct comparative mortality and morbidity analyses for the purpose of identifying disease-exposure associations using person-time-at-risk for age, race, sex, and calendar time-specific reference rates from 1940. Previously available through 1998, files for the United States and individual states were updated through 2004 using uncensored population data. Tenth revision causes were added if compatible with earlier NIOSH death categories, based on revisions 5 through 9. A few new cause categories were added.
The resulting NIOSH categories are described for two new U.S. rate files: 1960 through 2004 and 1940 through 2004.
The new U.S. rate files are available online or on request.
本研究的目的是更新美国国家职业安全与健康研究所个人计算机生命表分析系统(PC LTAS)的率文件,以反映新采用的国际疾病分类第十次修订版的变化。
PC LTAS允许研究人员进行比较死亡率和发病率分析,以便使用1940年以来按年龄、种族、性别和日历时间划分的特定风险人群时间的参考率来确定疾病暴露关联。以前可获取到1998年的数据,美国和各个州的文件使用未删失的人口数据更新至2004年。如果与早期美国国家职业安全与健康研究所的死亡类别兼容,则根据第5至9次修订版添加第十次修订版的病因。还添加了一些新的病因类别。
针对两个新的美国率文件描述了由此产生的美国国家职业安全与健康研究所类别:1960年至2004年以及1940年至2004年。
新的美国率文件可在线获取或按需提供。
