2000 to 2019 age-standardized potential years of life lost rates for Alberta, Alberta Health Services continuum zones, and former health regions, by cause of death per 100,000 population. The dataset is derived from ICD-10 codes and published by the Government of Alberta.
Use Cases
- Analyze regional health disparities based on age-standardized PYLL rates across Alberta Health Services zones.
- Track changes in premature mortality over time based on the 2000-2019 time range.
- Compare the impact of specific causes of death on population health based on ICD-10 derived categories.
Strengths
- Data spans a 20-year period from 2000 to 2019.
- Provides rates for multiple geographic levels: Alberta, AHS continuum zones, and former health regions.
- Age-standardized rates per 100,000 population allow for demographic comparison.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to open_canada, focusing solely on Alberta.
