A descriptive study of Oral Cancer Mortality in the Republic of Ireland is presented. The aim was to collate the data on oral cancer deaths (ICD9 140-146, 149) from the Department of Health Reports on Vital Statistics for the years 1979-86 and determine the numbers, sex distribution and rates. The annual number of oral cancer deaths represented a very small proportion of cancer deaths and all deaths. Deaths due to neoplasms of the tongue were the most common. Males had greater oral cancer death rates than females; death rates increased with age; two thirds of the deaths occurred over the age of 64 years. Age adjusted oral cancer death rates showed no significant change in male or female rates between 1979 and 1986.
本文呈现了爱尔兰共和国口腔癌死亡率的描述性研究。目的是整理1979 - 1986年卫生部生命统计报告中关于口腔癌死亡（国际疾病分类第九版140 - 146、149）的数据，并确定死亡人数、性别分布和死亡率。口腔癌年度死亡人数在癌症死亡总数和所有死亡人数中所占比例极小。舌部肿瘤导致的死亡最为常见。男性的口腔癌死亡率高于女性；死亡率随年龄增长而上升；三分之二的死亡发生在64岁以上。1979年至1986年间，年龄调整后的口腔癌死亡率在男性和女性中均无显著变化。
