Description:In Statistical Notes for Health Planners No. 6, the uses of cause-specific mortality data in health planning were discussed.1 Any complete analysis of mortality must include an assessment of heart disease mortality. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States’ with ischemic heart disease (IHD) accounting for nearly 90 percent of the deaths in this category. Deaths in two other International Classification of Disease, Adapted for Use in the United States (ICDA) categories—other heart disease and symptoms and ill-defined conditions-are also examined in this Note. It was felt that IHD may, in fact, be the actual cause of death for some of these nonspecific mortality codes (see appendix I). Thus if IHD mortality rates seem low where less specific disease mortality rates seem high, the combined rate may be a better indicator of the true burden of coronary heart disease mortality.
