Data Notes
Age-adjusted Rates
The age-adjusted rate controls for differences in age-distribution within a population to allow for better comparison across geographic areas or race/ethnicity. The rates are age-adjusted using the 2000 U.S. Standard population.Death Certificate Data
Death certificates in Hawaiʻi are required to be filed by funeral directors. Funeral directors obtain demographic information from an informant, a close family member of the decedent. The cause of death is certified by the decedent's health care provider (physician or nurse practitioner) or the health care provider who attended the death. Unattended deaths are certified by the local health officer. Accidental and suspicious deaths are certified by the Office of the Medical Examiner. Death certificate data go through extensive edits for completeness and consistency. The DOH Office of Health Status Monitoring (OHSM) does periodic trainings for funeral directors and local registrars. When death certificates are received, the cause of death literals are keyed into software locally by the OHSM, then shipped to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) where they are machine coded into ICD-10 cause-of-death codes. NCHS returns the ICD-10 codes to OHSM where the death records are updated.Measure Notes
Data have been age-adjusted to the U.S. 2000 standard population.Suppression of Estimates
In accordance with data use restrictions of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), counts of fewer than 9 are suppressed to protect the privacy of the individuals and rates based on counts of 19 or fewer are suppressed because they are statistically unreliable. To further help interpret the data we have provided an indication of stability, based on the relative standard error (RSE). Estimates with an RSE of 30% - 49.9% are listed as Unstable and estimates with an RSE of 50% or greater are listed as Very Unstable.U.S. Data
