Death Rates Send to Printer   |   Close Window Death Rate Report for New Mexico by County, death years through 2005 Melanoma of the Skin Healthy People 2010 Objective Number: 03-08 Reduce the rate of melanoma cancer deaths. All Races (includes Hispanic), Both Sexes, All Ages Sorted by Rate Explanation of Column Headers Objective - The objective of 2.5 is from the Healthy People 2010 project done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Death Rate (95% Confidence Interval) - The death rate is based upon 100,000 people and is for 5 year(s). Rates are age-adjusted by 5-year age groups to the 2000 U.S. standard million population (the Healthy People 2010 goals are based on rates adjusted using different methods but the differences should be minimal). Recent Trends - This is an interpretation of the APC. Rising when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is above 0. Stable when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change includes 0. Falling when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is below 0. APC (95% Confidence Interval) - The Annual Percent Change is the change in rate over time. These APCs are based upon 5 years and have been calculated by SEER*Stat. Other Notes Larger confidence intervals indicate less accuracy of the data. This is often due to low counts that are not quite low enough to be suppressed. Data is currently being suppressed if there are fewer than 16 counts for the time period. Line by Line Interpretation of the Report New Mexico (State) The healthy people objective was met. The death rate is 2.3 with a 95% confidence interval from 2.0 to 2.7 and 43 average annual deaths. The rate is stable because the APC value is -0.0 with a 95% confidence interval from -1.2 to 1.1. United States The healthy people objective was not met. The death rate is 2.7 with a 95% confidence interval from 2.6 to 2.7 and 7,834 average annual deaths. The rate is stable because the APC value is 1.5 with a 95% confidence interval from -0.4 to 3.4. Santa Fe County The healthy people objective was met. The death rate is 2.4 with a 95% confidence interval from 1.3 to 3.9 and 3 average annual deaths. The rate is ** because the APC value is **. Bernalillo County The healthy people objective was met. The death rate is 2.4 with a 95% confidence interval from 1.9 to 3.1 and 14 average annual deaths. The rate is stable because the APC value is -1.8 with a 95% confidence interval from -3.9 to 0.4. Dona Ana County The healthy people objective was met. The death rate is 2.2 with a 95% confidence interval from 1.3 to 3.4 and 3 average annual deaths. The rate is ** because the APC value is **.

Trend Rising when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is above 0. Stable when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change includes 0. Falling when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is below 0. * Data has been suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate estimates. ** Data are too sparse to provide stable estimates of annual rates needed to calculate trend. 1 Healthy People 2010 Objectives provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2 Recent trend in death rates were calculated using the Joinpoint Regression Program and are expressed as the annual percent change over the recent trend period. Recent trend period is the period since last change in trend as determined by Joinpoint. 3 Due to data availability issues, the time period used in the calculation of the joinpoint regression model may differ for selected racial groups or counties. Source: Death data provided by the National Vital Statistics System public use data file. Death rates calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat. Death rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1–4, 5–9, … , 80–84, 85+). The Healthy People 2010 goals are based on rates adjusted using different methods but the differences should be minimal. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI.
