Methodological explonations
The notes indicated in the medical records on death are the source of information on death. These records are issued by doctors in case of death caused by disease, accident, suicide, homicide or other external factors (injuries in the result of operations provided by the law, injuries in the course of military actions and etc.). These notes are the basis for indication of causes of death in the death certificate.
Coding of death causes and processing of data is implemented according to Death Causes of the International Classification (revised X edition).
Death rate by causes is computed as ratio of death number during the year to average annual population size at the same year. This ratio is computed per 100 000 of population and regarding to infants under 1 year - per 10000 live birth. Standardized rate of death is applied for liquidation of the impact of differences in age composition
The death rate of able-bodied population by main causes of death is identified on the basis of dividing the number of death of able-bodied population during the year to average annual population size of the same age group.
Infant mortality by causes of death is computed as ratio of death causes by all reasons: it is calculated not per 100 000 of average annual population size, but per 10 000 live-births.
