AIHW - Mortality Over Regions and Time (MORT) Books - Leading Causes of Death by Sex (SA4) 2012-2016

This dataset presents the footprint of statistics related to the leading causes of death by sex. The reported statistics include cause of death, ranking, total deaths, crude rates, age-standardised rates and rate ratio. The data spans the period between 2012-2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) geographic areas from the 2016 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).\n\nMortality Over Regions and Time (MORT) books are workbooks that contain recent deaths data for specific geographical areas, sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Mortality Database. They present various statistics related to deaths by all causes and leading causes of death by sex for each geographical area.\n\nFor further information about this dataset, visit the data source:[Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - MORT Books](https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/life-expectancy-death/mort-books/contents/mort-books).\n\nPlease note:\n\n * AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.\n\n * Cause of Death Unit Record File data are provided to the AIHW by the Registries of Births, Deaths and Marriages and the National Coronial Information System (managed by the Victorian Department of Justice) and include cause of death coded by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The data are maintained by the AIHW in the National Mortality Database.\n\n * Year refers to the year of registration of death. Deaths registered in 2013 and earlier are based on the final version of the cause of death data; deaths registered in 2014 are based on revised version; deaths registered in 2015 and 2016 are based on preliminary versions. Revised and preliminary versions are subject to further revision by the ABS.\n\n * Cause of death information are based on the underlying cause of death and are classified according to the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD). Deaths registered in 1997 onwards are classified according to the 10th revision (ICD-10).\n\n * Unknown/missing includes deaths where place of usual residence was overseas, no fixed abode, offshore and migratory, and undefined. Summary measures and cause of death data are not presented for any SA4 with less than 10 deaths in a single year.\n\n * Population counts are based on estimated resident populations at 30 June for each year. Australian estimated resident population data are sourced from Australian demographic statistics (ABS cat. no. 3101.0).\n

本数据集涵盖按性别划分的主要死亡原因相关的各类统计信息。所收录的统计指标包括死亡原因、死因排名、总死亡人数、粗死亡率、年龄标化死亡率以及率比。本数据集的时间范围为2012年至2016年，地理聚合单元采用2016年版《澳大利亚统计地理标准》（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）中的统计区域4级（Statistical Area Level 4, SA4）。

《区域与时间死亡率（MORT）手册》为工作手册类资料，收录特定地理区域的最新死亡数据，数据源自澳大利亚健康与福利研究所（Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, AIHW）国家死亡率数据库。该手册涵盖各地理区域内全因死亡及按性别划分的主要死亡原因相关的各类统计数据。

请注意：
* AURIN（澳大利亚城市与区域研究信息网络，Australian Urban and Regional Information Network）已为原始数据赋予空间属性。
* 死亡原因单元记录文件数据由出生、死亡与婚姻登记处以及国家验尸信息系统（由维多利亚州司法部管理）提供给澳大利亚健康与福利研究所（AIHW），其中包含由澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS）编码的死亡原因信息。该数据由AIHW维护于国家死亡率数据库中。
* 此处的“年份”指死亡登记年份。2013年及更早完成登记的死亡数据采用死亡原因最终版本；2014年登记的死亡数据采用修订版本；2015年与2016年登记的死亡数据采用初步版本。修订版本与初步版本仍需由ABS进行进一步修正。
* 死亡原因信息基于根本死亡原因，并按照《国际疾病分类及相关健康问题》（International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, ICD）进行分类。1997年及之后完成登记的死亡数据均采用第10次修订版（ICD-10）进行分类。
* 未知/缺失数据涵盖常住地为海外、无固定住所、近海及移民群体，以及未定义类别的死亡案例。对于单一年度内死亡人数少于10人的SA4区域，将不提供汇总统计指标与死亡原因数据。
* 人口数基于每年6月30日的估计常住居民人口数据。澳大利亚估计常住居民人口数据源自《澳大利亚人口统计》（ABS cat. no. 3101.0）。
