Abstract:

LTAS is a computer program 'analysis tool' that uses cause of death (based on our study subjects) and mortality rate files (based on national Public Health Service (PHS) data) to evaluate patterns in disease and death. To do so it compares the expected numbers of deaths (from the mortality rate files) to the observed number of deaths (from our study file) for defined time periods. LTAS combines ICD codes into Major and Minor Categories in order to make the comparisons. These same Major and Minor Categories were used to combine the mortality rate files. Any ICD codes that do not match one of the predefined categories is placed in a residual category for analysis within LTAS
