PREFACE

This edition of the Leading Causes of Death in Chicago has two major changes from the 2008 version. We have converted from age-adjusted to actual (crude) mortality rates for ten year trend comparisons. To reflect the changing demographics of Chicago’s Hispanic population, we have added the Central American population as a study group and dropped reporting for the Cuban population. The report begins with data on the 2006 leading causes of death for Chicago residents presented for different ethnic groups and sex by detailed age categories, and for different age groups by ethnicity categories. The report concludes with ten year comparisons of mortality rates for 2006 leading causes and all-cause death by ethnicity and sex. It is hoped that this report will prove helpful in developing effective public health interventions in Chicago. Questions, comments or suggestions for improving future editions are welcome.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Health Status Index Series Vol XVIII No II pg. ii

The ten leading causes of death for •Chicago residents represented 77% of all deaths, and 72% of all infant deaths. Although the positioning changed slightly, the 2006 leading causes of death were the same as those for 2005 and most of the 2006 leading causes of infant death were the same.

Heart disease and cancer were the top •two leading causes of death for all Chi-cago residents, also for both sexes and all ethnic groups studied.

Although HIV/AIDS mortality continues to •decline, it was among the leading causes of death for two groups —non-Hispanic Black Males, and Puerto Rican Males.

Either prematurity related disorders or •birth defects were the top cause of infant death for all ethnic groups studied, with the exception of Puerto Ricans. For Puerto Ricans, SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syn-drome) was the leading cause of infant mortality.

Infant mortality (Certain Conditions Origi-•nating in the Perinatal Period) is one of the leading causes of death for Chicago’s Mexican population.

For the 15-24 age group, either homicide, •accidents or suicide was the leading cause of death for all ethnic and gender groups studied.

Homicide was the 10• th leading cause for all Chicagoans, and the 5th leading cause of death for the Mexican and non-Hispan-ic Black populations in Chicago.

Heart disease mortality declined dramati-•cally from 1996 to 2006, but these im-provements were not distributed evenly. Non-Hispanic Whites and Asian popula-tions, and non-Hispanic Black Females all had significant decreases in heart disease mortality rates, while Hispanics and non-Hispanic Black males saw no im-provement or worsening of heart disease mortality.

Cancer mortality decreased from 1996 to •2006 for all Chicago residents. This was driven by a decline in cancer mortality for the non-Hispanic White population, all other ethnic categories had stable or increasing cancer mortality rates.

Influenza & pneumonia mortality im-•proved slightly over the ten year period but remained the 9th leading cause of death for Chicagoans.

Alzheimer’s disease is becoming an •increasingly common cause of death for Chicago women. Non-Hispanic White women have the highest mortality rate from Alzheimer’s but non-Hispanic Black women had the most rapid increase, with mortality rates tripling over the ten year period (1996-2006).

CHAPTER 1

METHODS

BACKGROUND In order to understand and appro-priately interpret the data, it is important to understand:

•datareportingcriteria,•causeofdeathdetermination,•rankingprocedures,and•ratecalculations.

DATA REPORTING CRITERIA The guidelines for data release used by the Office of Epidemiology balance data acces-sibility with privacy concerns and the stability of the statistics we publish. Rates based on a few events (e.g. 20 or less) can vary widely just by random chance even when there is no meaningful statisti-cal difference between measurements. Rare events occurring in large populations do not usually allow for the identification of individu-als, but reporting small cell sizes for popula-tion subgroups increases the risk of breaching confidentiality. The general guidelines for data re-lease used in this report (adapted from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health) are based on both the numerator (event) and denominator (population or group size) values. To prevent back calculation of sup-pressed numbers, secondary suppression of other numbers may be performed in conjunc-tion with the primary suppression. See Table 1 for specific reporting conditions. Tables were reviewed and additional suppression was applied in some cases when there were two or less rankable causes of death for a small number of deaths in an age group.

The system is periodically revised to reflect advances in medical knowledge and public health priorities. The ninth revision, ICD-9, was used for deaths in the United States for twenty years, 1979-1998. The ICD-10 is the most recent update, and is being used for US deaths with data from 1999 and later. There are important differences between ICD-10 and ICD-9, including the following:

•Thenumberofdetailed categories nearly doubled.

•Importantchangesinsomeof rules for classifying underlying cause of death.

Therefore, even with the same information being recorded on the death certificate, a death can be attributed to a different underly-ing cause of death. Due to these differences, mortality rates based on data classified under ICD-10 cannot be directly compared to ICD-9. In order to compare mortality statistics between deaths in 1996 (classified by ICD-9)and deaths in 2006 (classified by ICD-10), the 1996 data were multiplied by a comparability ratio. There is a different ratio for each cause of death, determined by a comparability study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. See the Appendix for the compara-bility ratios used in this publication. Contact the Office of Epidemiology for more informa-tion.

Health Status Index Series Vol XVIII No II pg. 2

CAUSE OF DEATH DETERMINATION All deaths are registered using death certificates. Death certificates are processed and analyzed by a standardized system that is used in most countries throughout the world, the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). On the death certificate, the certifier (a physician, coroner or medical examiner) enters information about the causes and cir-cumstances of death in a specific sequence. When received by the vital statistics office, the causes are placed in standard categories, and the underlying cause of death is then deter-mined. Underlying cause of death is not neces-sarily the first medical condition listed on the death certificate. All of the information on the certificate is examined systematically, using classification rules, to determine the most ap-propriate underlying cause of death.

determined that the degree of potential error in intercensal years is substantial, reducing the reliability of the rate calculation. Effec-tive with this edition, actual mortality rates are calculated and reported. The number of population estimates performed is minimized using this method, and leads to more reliable rates. Using this data requires more caution in interpretation of differences between groups or over time. Differences between ethnic groups or over time can be due to potentially modifiable risk factors, but also to differences or changes in the age structure of the popula-tions. Actual mortality rates can be compared to each other, but they cannot be compared to age adjusted rates. The trend data in this report cannot be compared with the trend data in earlier editions.

SPECIFIC METHODS FOR THIS REPORTdata sources Mortality data come from the Illinois Department of Public Health 2006 and 1996 death datasets. These datasets include per-sons with unknown age, who are not included in the age specific calculations but are includ-ed in the All Ages calculations.

Population denominators for calculat-ing 2006 and 1996 mortality rates were based on data from the 2000 and 1990 US Census, the 2005-2007 and 2006 American Community Survey (ACS). The Office of Epidemiology pre-pared intercensal estimates when appropriate (see below).


ranking For infants under 1, the number of deaths from each of the rankable causes of the “List of 130 Selected Causes of Infant Death,” as well as all-cause mortality, is tabulated. For all other age groups, the number of deaths from each of the rankable causes of the “List of 113 Selected Causes of Death,” as well as all-cause mortality, is tabulated. The ten causes with the highest frequencies for each age group are then reported. In the case of a tie, deaths are listed in order of their appear-ance in the ICD-10. The rankable causes from each list are listed in Tables A-2 and A-3 in the Appendix. The abbreviations used in this pub-lication can be found in Table 2.

population estimates The Office of Epidemiology calculated intercensal population estimates for 1996 populations. Linear interpolation modeling for 1996 was performed using 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census data for all sex and ethnic categories. For 2006 populations, ACS data from 2006 was used for all population groups with the excep-tion of one ethnic group. The 2005-2007 ACS file was used for population estimates for the Non-Hispanic Native American population. For the Non-Hispanic ethnic groups, persons reporting multiple ethnicity were excluded from the population estimates for calculating ethnic specific rates. They are included in the population estimates for the total population.

RANKING Tabulation lists are part of the ICD system. These lists standardize the report-ing of data which makes it easier to compare data from different times and places. The lists aggregate detailed categories into appropriate groupings. Ranking is performed on the basis of the tabulation lists. Not all causes of death are considered rankable. For example, if sub-categories of a larger category are on a tabulation list, then only the larger category is considered for ranking purposes. Another im-portant exception are causes of death that are “remainder” categories for larger groupings. As an example, the grouping “Other diseases of the respiratory system” is not considered in leading cause of death ranking. Further detail can be obtained from the National Vital Statistics Reports1 and other publications of the National Center for Health Statistics.

RATE CALCULATIONS In past editions of this report, we have reported age adjusted rates for causes of death and all-cause mortality. Age adjust-ment is a technique that is used to make it easier to interpret differences in disease rates between different populations. Although age adjustment has advantages in interpretation, it requires detailed population information to calculate correctly. The population data needed to calculate these rates for specific ethnic groups in Chicago was not available, and these populations were estimated. Af-ter re-evaluation of the methodology, it was
