Comparability
Ratio
Measures the effect of changes in classification and coding
rules as International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is revised
to stay abreast of advances in medical science and changes in
medical terminology. |
Current Smokers
Individuals who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes over their
lifetime and who now smoke every day or some days. |
Demographic
Population Data
Demographic data used in the computation of MCH smoking-attributable
expenditures. Demographic data include age, education, type
of insurance coverage at time of delivery, marital status,
the trimester prenatal care began, and race. |
Expenditures
Cost or expenses, in this case attributed to smoking. |
Former
Smokers
Individuals who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes over their
lifetime but who do not now smoke. |
Geographic
Population
The population counts of states or small geographic areas included
in the computation of smoking-attributable expenditures. |
Life
Expectancy
Number of years an individual is expected to live as determined
by statistical average. |
Maternal
Smoker
An individual mother who smoked any cigarettes at any time during
pregnancy. |
Never
Smokers
Individuals who have not smoked at least 100 cigarettes over
their lifetime. |
Productivity Losses of Smoking-Related
Deaths
The present value of foregone future earnings from paid labor
and of foregone imputed earnings from unpaid household work
by persons projected to die prematurely because of smoking. |
Relative
Risk for Smoking-Related Deaths
The mortality rate for current or former smokers divided by
the mortality rate for never smokers. |
SAM
Rate, Age Adjusted
The SAM Rate, assuming the age distribution of the study population
was identical to an identified standard population. Enables
comparisons between two or more populations as if the groups
had the same age structure. |
Selected
Population Estimates
The specific population for which the disease impact and adverse
outcomes of smoking are being calculated. |
Smoking-Attributable
Caused by cigarette smoking. |
Smoking-Attributable Expenditures
(SAEs)
Health care expenditures attributed to diseases which are caused
by cigarette smoking. |
Smoking-Attributable Expenditures,
Maternal
Medical care expenditures of infants at delivery caused by maternal smoking. These include expenditures for all inpatient services, such as accommodations and for physician, ancillary, and pharmaceutical services. |
Smoking-Attributable Expenditures per Maternal Smoker
The smoking attributable expenditures of a group by the number of maternal smokers in the group. |
Smoking-Attributable
Fraction (SAF)
The proportion of adult deaths from 19 diseases and health
care expenditures related to conditions that were caused by
cigarette smoking. |
Smoking-Attributable
Fraction, Maternal
The proportion of total infant deaths and neonatal expenditures
that can be attributed to maternal cigarette smoking. |
Smoking-Attributable
Mortality (SAM)
Number of deaths caused by cigarette smoking for 19 diseases
for which cigarette smoking is a primary cause. |
Smoking-Attributable
Mortality Rate, Crude SAM Rate
The number of deaths caused by smoking per 100,000 persons
aged 35 years and older for disease categories where cigarette
smoking is a primary risk factor. Also called the Crude SAM
Rate. |
Smoking-Attributable
Mortality, Maternal
Number of infant deaths from specific conditions that can
be attributed to maternal cigarette smoking. |
Smoking Prevalence
Percentage of the selected study population who are current
smokers. |
Smoking Prevalence, Current
Percentage of persons who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes
in their lifetime and who currently smoke every day or some
days. |
Smoking Prevalence, Former
Percentage of persons who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes
in their lifetime and who currently do not smoke. |
Smoking Prevalence, Maternal
Among women who gave birth, percentage who had smoking during
pregnancy indicated on the birth certificate. |
Standard Population
Estimates
The population used to adjust crude estimates in order to make
meaningful comparisons between two or more study populations. |
Years
of Potential Life Lost (YPLL)
Total number of years lost because of premature deaths attributable
to cigarette smoking. |
YPLL Rates
The smoking-attributable years of potential life lost per 100,000
persons aged 35 years and older for diseases caused by cigarette
smoking. |
