	Mortality rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mortality rate (the word mortality comes from mortal, which originates from Latin mors, death) is the annual number of deaths (from a disease or at general) per 1000 people.
		The maternal mortality rate, the relationship between the number of maternal deaths due to childbearing and the number of live births or by the sum of live births and fetal deaths in a given year.
		A more complete picture of mortality is given by a life table which summarises mortality separately at each age.

		The aim of this study was to assess the long-term mortality and causes of death among patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and to identify predictors of mortality.
		Mortality attributable to smoking in the year 2000 was estimated for adult males and females, including estimates by age and for specific diseases in 14 epidemiological subregions of the world.
		Mortality is lowest among the light to moderate drinkers, with the risk of dying from coronary heart disease higher among nondrinkers and the risk of dying from cancer higher among heavy drinkers.

		Population-based operative mortality for major surgery varies by procedure and patient age and is considerably higher than that typically reported in case series and trials.

		Because operative mortality varies across individual surgeons and hospitals, a patient's risk for operative mortality is influenced by where and by whom the operation is performed.

	Mortality
		Assessment of mortality data is important to identify the leading causes of deaths in the community, to identify those individuals or groups of individuals at high risk for premature mortality, and to recognize opportunities for interventions to avoid premature and preventable deaths.
		Mortality is assessed from a number of perspectives; cause of death as a percentage of total deaths; secondly, cause of death by age group, gender and race; and finally cause of death by years of potential life lost (YPPL).

	ACS :: Geographic Variation in Breast Cancer Mortality for White and Black Women
		Historically, mortality has been highest in the Northeast and lowest in the Southern US.8 We examined breast cancer mortality from 1986 to 1995 by state to determine whether states that had the highest initial mortality rate from 1986 to 1990 were the same states that subsequently had the greatest drop in mortality.
		US breast cancer mortality statistics were obtained from the Division of Vital Statistics of the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Hyattsville, MD. The average age-adjusted (1970 standard) breast cancer mortality rates per 100,000 women were calculated for the periods 1986 to 1990 and 1991 to 1995.
		The 10 states with the largest declines in mortality rates among white females (Table 1) had an average initial ranking of 10 for 1986 to 1990 with an average percentage drop of 9.85 from 1986 to 1990 and 1991 to 1995.

		There are significant differences in child mortality risks by poverty status in all countries, although the size of the gap varies; the risk of dying in childhood is approximately 13 percentage points higher for the poor than for the non-poor in Niger but less than 3 percentage points higher in Bangladesh.
		Although the chances of child survival among less developed regions of the world are becoming increasingly disparate, the gaps in child mortality among affluent nations have been closing over the past 30 years, largely as a result of medico-technological advances, particularly in the area of neonatal survival.
		While incidence is thought to have remained stable, mortality from diarrhoeal diseases has fallen from 2.5 million deaths in 1990 to about 1.6 million deaths in 2002, now accounting for 15% of all child deaths.

	The Russian Epidemiological Crisis
		In 1987, mortality returned approximately to the level of 1965 (in fact, in 1987 it was a little higher), and finally, in 1993, it reached approximately twice the level in 1965.
		The overwhelming role of injuries and violence in active ages for the general mortality decrease in 1985-87 and subsequent increase in 1988-92 is obvious (Figure 4.11); the structures of mortality decrease and increase are similar.
		For dysentery the rise was 33 percent and 8 percent; for pneumonia--99 percent and 39 percent; for bronchitis and lung emphysema--23 percent and 9 percent; for gastric ulcer--47 percent and 47 percent; for rheumatism--15 percent and 7 percent; for diabetes mellitus--29 percent and 23 percent; and for hypertensive disease--22 percent and 21 percent, respectively.

		For mortality due to malignant neoplasms and mortality in the youngest age group, the optimum temperatures were 15.5°C and 14.5°C, respectively.
		Mortality increased significantly during all of the heat waves studied, and the elderly were most effected by extreme heat.
		The average excess mortality during the cold spells was 12.8% or 46.6 deaths/day, which was mostly attributable to the increase in cardiovascular mortality and mortality among the elderly.

	Mortality Follow-up Study of Persian Gulf Veterans
		Synopsis: This retrospective study looks at mortality rates in Gulf War veterans as compared to veterans who did not serve in the Gulf in an attempt to determine if there are any excess deaths specifically related to service in the Persian Gulf.
		The updated mortality follow-up through December 1997 showed that the excess mortality in Gulf veterans due to external causes had decreased steadily to levels found in non-Gulf War veterans.
		As the second mortality follow-up of Persian Gulf veterans, this study represents an important step in addressing the health concerns of Persian Gulf veterans.

		On the contrary, when violent mortality becomes an important part of overall mortality, the mortality pattern may have little in common with the nearly universal J-pattern and model age patterns cannot be used.
		The reason is precisely that the age pattern of war-related deaths differs from that of natural mortality and reflects idiosyncratic conditions at a particular time and place that should not be generalized to other populations.
		Existing model age patterns of mortality can not be used to assess and improve the quality of such an unusual age pattern of mortality as shown in Figure 5-2.

		And so, until this corruptible element puts on incorruptibility and this mortal element receives immortality and the spirit conducts us to God the Father, the disadvantages of the flesh, whatever they are, we have in common with the human race.
		This mortality is a bane to the Jews and pagans and enemies of Christ; to the servants of God it is a salutary departure.
		Although this mortality has contributed nothing else, it has especially accomplished this for Christians and servants of God, that we have begun gladly to seek martyrdom while we are learning not to fear death.

		In "The Impact of Human-Induced Climatic Warming Upon Human Mortality," the authors apply the concept of "threshold temperature," the temperature that, when exceeded by the maximum daily temperature, results in a rapid rise in mortality.
		They also estimate the average monthly increase in total mortality under different warming scenarios, with and without acclimation, using the concept of "analog" cities.
		Estimates generated for unusually high heat-related mortality associated with offensive summer air masses indicate that increases in mortality are likely even with acclimation.
