Query Builder for Injury Mortality Data by NM Small Areas - Leading Causes of Injury Death, Counts

Query Builder Page Options

  • Causes of Death and YPLL Grouping Categories

    Deaths are given an "underlying cause of death" by a medical professional. That cause is then coded by the CDC into one of several hundred individual causes of death. For analysis of death data, the individual causes are combined into categories. For instance, the different types of cancer are combined into an overall "Cancer" category. For leading causes of death and YPLL, the "NCHS 50 Leading Rankable Causes" are typically used to compare and rank causes of death.

    NCHS Leading Causes of Death

    In order to provide a consistent ranking standard the NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics) prepared a list of 113 selected causes of death. The NCHS 50 leading causes of death are taken from the list of 113. The 39 selected causes is a separate list for use with small populations. For more information about the NCHS rankings see [[https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr53/nvsr53_17.pdf National vital statistics reports; vol 53 no 17]] on the NCHS website.

    First choose a coding scheme to use for injury causes of death. (Default is all causes.)

Dimension Name RacEthDOH NOT found!!!
  • New Mexico Race/Ethnicity Coding

    Starting in 2000, the New Mexico Department of Health developed recommendations for standard categories for the presentation of data by race and Hispanic ethnicity.

    For purposes of presentation, race and ethnicity will be presented together using the following five major categories and labels:

    American Indian or Alaska Native

    Asian or Pacific Islander

    Black or African American

    Hispanic

    White

    The Hispanic category includes no other races but White. The White category may be interpreted as "White, non-Hispanic." And the non-White race categories include both Hispanic and non-Hispanic persons.

    Select race/ethnicity

Primary group by field

Defines the data's primary grouping dimension. The primary grouping is required and also controls the ordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel and other graphing packages this is typically referred to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this value/dimension is associated with table's "row" values. Others will refer to this value as the first "cross by" or the first dimension.

Optional secondary group by field

Defines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series" field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this field is associated with data table's value columns. Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified.

Optional chart graph

Defines the optional chart graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified. All other charts will only work with a maximum of 2 group bys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the series group by can NOT be used with charting or maps.

Optional Map Visualization

Defines the optional map graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps are only available when the category is set to a geographical area and does not have a series defined.
