NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF

HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE
Mary T. Bassett, MD, MPH
Commissioner
Dear Fellow New Yorker:

Each year, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygienes Summary of
Vital Statistics presents data on important health indicators, such as premature mortality, life
expectancy, infant mortality, and leading causes of death, which are used to monitor the
health of New Yorkers, track our progress, and prioritize areas that need additional
attention.
The life expectancy of New Yorkers continues to increase and mortality rates continue to
fall. Although these trends are seen across racial/ethnic groups and neighborhoods,
disparities still exist. For example, there are neighborhoods where life expectancy is at least
10 years less than other neighborhoods just a few miles away. Addressing these persistent
disparities is core to the Agencys mission of providing all New Yorkers with the
opportunity to live long and healthy lives.
Highlights from our 2014 report, which begins on the next page, include:
x
x
x
x
x
x
Citywide, life expectancy is 81.1 years, representing a two year, one month
increase since 2004.
Overall, life expectancy in NYC remains higher than in the US, which was 78.8 in
2013. In NYC, Non-Hispanic blacks have the lowest life expectancy among
racial/ethnic groups at 77.3 years while Hispanics have the highest, at 82.3 years.
Life expectancy also varies by community district. Residents of Battery Park have
the longest life expectancy (85.9) whereas residents of Brownsville have the
shortest life expectancy (74.4).
From 2005 to 2014, all-cause age-adjusted death rates declined 18.9% to 580.4
deaths per 100,000 population. Declines were seen for each racial/ethnic group:
20.2% among non-Hispanic blacks, 16.9% among non-Hispanic whites, 16.6%
among Hispanics, and 12.5% among Asians and Pacific Islanders.
New York Citys age-adjusted premature death (age <65 years) also declined
21.2% since 2005. Decreases are evident among all racial ethnic groups.
The 2014 infant mortality rate has reached a historic low of 4.2 infant deaths per
1,000 live births, a 30.0% decline from 6.0 in 2005 and a 8.7% decline from 4.6 in
2012. However, among non-Hispanic black New Yorkers, the infant mortality rate
is 2.9 times higher than among non-Hispanic whites, an increase since 2005.
For the first time since 2007, the citywide crude birth rate increased, rising to 14.4
births per 1,000. This represents a 0.7% increase from 2013.
We share these data with you to raise awareness of the most fundamental vital events that
describe the health of New Yorkers, and to track our progress in advancing the health of all
New Yorkers.
Sincerely,
Mary T. Bassett, MD, MPH

Commissioner
KEY FINDINGS
New York Citys 2013 life expectancy at birth was 81.1 years (preliminary data
for latest year available), a 2.1 year (two year, one month) increase since 2004
(page 8).
New York Citys 2014 age-adjusted death rate was 5.8 deaths per 1,000 population,
with 53,034 deaths in 2014, reflecting a statistically significant decrease of 2.5%
since 2013. This was an 18.9% decline from 2005 (page 10).
Age-adjusted all-cause death rates decreased across all racial/ethnic groups from
2005 to 2014, narrowing the non-Hispanic black and non-Hispanic white gap by
39.9% and indicating some reduction in racial/ethnic health disparities (page 10).
Heart disease, cancer, and influenza/pneumonia continue to rank as the three

leading causes of death in 2014; crude death rates for all three declined since
2005, down 30.8%, 5.1%, and 28.1%, respectively (page 12).
New York Citys 2014 age-adjusted premature death rate (age <65 years) was
186 per 100,000, a 21.2% decline since 2005. Decreases were evident among all
racial ethnic groups, narrowing the non-Hispanic black and non-Hispanic white
gap by 30.5% and indicating some reduction in racial/ethnic health disparities
(page 16).
The three leading causes of premature death (age <65 years) in 2014 were
cancer, heart disease, and drug use/poisoning. Respective crude premature death
rates declined 12.2%, 20.5%, and 8.1% since 2005 (page 18).
New York Citys 2014 infant mortality rate reached a historic low of 4.2 infant
deaths per 1,000 live births, a 30.0% decline from 6.0 in 2005 and a 8.7% decline
from 4.6 in 2013. The Healthy People 2020 goal of 6.0 was met in 2005. However,
Puerto Rican and non-Hispanic black New Yorkers have infant mortality rates that
are nearly twice the citywide rate (page 22).
From 2005 to 2014, the infant mortality rate increased 13.4% among Puerto
Ricans. It declined 22.7% among non-Hispanic blacks, 29.7% among Asian and
Pacific Islanders, 45.8% among non-Hispanic whites, and 10.9% among other
Hispanics (page 23).
New York Citys 2014 crude birth rate was 14.4 births per 1,000 population, a
0.7% increase since 2013. The rate decreased 5.9% from 15.3 births per 1,000
population in 2005 (page 28).
In 2014, the teen birth rate continued its steady decline to a new low of 19.4 births
per 1,000 females age 15-19 years, representing a 41.0% decline since 2005.
Decreasing rates among all racial/ethnic groups resulted in a 53.3% narrowing of
the non-Hispanic black and non-Hispanic white gap, indicating some reduction
in racial/ethnic disparities (page 32).

*See the 2010 Summary of Vital Statistics: Mortality Special Section: Cause of Death Quality Improvement Initiative for information on the
recent trends in cause of death reporting, particularly heart disease.
Appendix B Technical Notes: Drug-Related Deaths.
Heart disease, malignant neoplasms (cancer), and influenza/pneumonia continued to rank as the three leading causes
of death; crude death rates for all three declined since 2005, down 30.8%, 5.1%, and 28.1%, respectively.
Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases ranked fourth at 21.5 deaths per 100,000 population, up 9.7% since 2005 but
1.8% lower than in 2013; followed by Diabetes Mellitus, which ranked fifth, at 21.2 deaths per 100,000 population,
down 5.8% since 2005; and cerebrovascular diseases (mostly stroke), sixth, at 21.0 deaths per 100,000 population,
up 2.4% since 2005. The rate of essential hypertension and hypertensive renal disease death shifted from seventh
to eighth and increased 23.2% from 2005 to 2014. Most of that increase occurred prior to 2009, and rates have
decreased by 7.1% since 2013.
Use of or poisoning by psychoactive substance (drug-related deaths) ranked ninth, up 1.0%, since 2013 but down
7.1% since 2005.
Alzheimers disease again ranked tenth among the top ten leading causes, at 9.3 deaths per 100,000 population,
up 181.8% since 2005. The sharp increase in Alzheimers disease occurred since 2008, coinciding with efforts to
improve cause of death reporting accuracy in New York City.*

OneNYC, Mayor De Blasios plan for a strong and just city, proposes achieving an historic low of 3.7 infant deaths
per 1,000 live births citywide by 2040, and dramatically decreasing the racial/ethnic disparities. The city will achieve
this by targeting key neighborhoods with high infant mortality rates and implementing social and structural supports
before, during, and after pregnancy.
The 2014 New York City infant mortality rate reached a historic low of 4.2 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, a 30.0%
decline from 6.0 in 2005 and a 8.7% decline from 4.6 in 2013. The Healthy People 2020 goal of 6.0 was met in 2005.
The New York City infant mortality rate was 27.6% lower than the US rate of 5.8 per 1,000 live births. In 2005, the
New York City rate was just 13.0% lower than the US rate.
22
INFANT MORTALITY
Although infant mortality rates have declined

among all racial/ethnic groups, disparities persist. In 2014, the infant mortality rate among
non-Hispanic blacks was 2.9 times higher than
among non-Hispanic whites, an increase from
2.0 in 2005. However, these rates will fluctuate
due to small numbers of infant deaths.

In 2014, infant mortality rates were 1.5 times

higher in areas with very high poverty compared to areas with low poverty (4.7 infant
deaths per 1,000 live births vs. 3.1, respectively). The relative difference in rates fluctuate
due to small numbers.
From 2005 to 2014, the infant mortality rate

declined in all groups: by 35.7% in low poverty
areas, 29.6% in high poverty areas, 29.2% in
very high poverty areas and 23.6% in medium
poverty areas (data not shown).

Neighborhood Poverty*
*Neighborhood poverty (based on mothers NYC resident census tract) defined as percent of residents with incomes below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level, per American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-2009 for 2005 data
and per ACS 2009-2013 for 2014 data.
In 2014, the infant mortality rate was highest

among infants born to the oldest mothers (40
years of age), at 5.0 infant deaths per 1,000
live births. It was 4.1 among infants born to
mothers 20 to 29 years of age, 3.8 infant deaths
per 1,000 live births among mothers 30 to 39
years of age, and 3.7 infant deaths per 1,000
live births among mothers less than 20 years
of age.

Figure 4. Infant Mortality Rate by Mothers Age*,

Infant mortality rates have decreased among

infants born to mothers in all age groups since
2005: 39.3% among mothers ages younger
than 20, 22.6% among mothers ages 30 to
39, 26.9% among mothers ages 20 to 29, and
41.2% among mothers ages 40 and older.

pregnancy are likely due to variations in reporting facilities responsiveness to legal reporting
requirements rather than true changes in such
events. DOHMH continues to conduct outreach
and education of targeted medical facilities about
legal reporting requirements.

INDUCED TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY

Rate (Per 1,000 Females Ages 15-44)
Figure 12. Age-adjusted Induced Termination of

Pregnancy Rate by Mothers Racial/Ethnic Group,
100
NH-Black
90
The 2014 citywide crude rate of induced terminations of pregnancy, at 34.8 terminations
per 1,000 female aged 15 to 44 years, declined
25.8% since 2005 (Figure 3). Similarly, age-adjusted rates among each racial/ethnic group declined: 28.7% among Hispanics, 28.4% among
non-Hispanic blacks, 15.5% among Asian and
Pacific Islanders and 9.6% among non-Hispanic
whites.
The disparity between non-Hispanic white and

non-Hispanic black induced termination of
pregnancy rate has narrowed since 2005; the
rate was 4.2 times greater among non-Hispanic
blacks than non-Hispanic whites (63.4 per
1,000 females age 15-44 vs. 14.4) in 2014,
compared to 5.3 in 2005.

Figure 13. Age-specific Induced Termination of

Pregnancy Rate by Mothers Age, New York City,
20052014
Since 2005, the crude rate of induced termination of pregnancy has declined 49.1% among
teens from 58.9 terminations per 1,000 female
15 to 19 years of age in 2005 to 30.0 in 2014,
followed by a 25.8% decline for women 20 to 29
years of age, 17.2% among women 30 to 39 years
of age and 9.6% among women 40 and older.
Rates remain the highest among women 20 to
29 years of age, followed by teens, then women
30 to 39 years of age and women 40 and over.

Figure 14. Crude Induced Termination of Pregnancy

Rate by Medical vs. Surgical Procedure,
Medication-induced abortion, using mifepristone in combination with misoprostol is termed

a medical abortion and may be performed up
to nine weeks gestation, rather than a surgical
procedure, to terminate a pregnancy. Medical
abortion is not to be confused with the morningafter pill, also known as emergency contraception, used to prevent pregnancy.
Since 2005, the crude rate of medical abortion

in New York City has increased 56.8%, to 5.8
terminations per 1,000 females age 15-44, while
the rate of surgical abortion has decreased
32.6% to 29.0%.

Note: Borough totals may be higher than the sum of the community districts, as they may include some live births whose community district could not be determined.
Map of percent of live births to teenagers by community district of residence is presented on page 33 (Map PO11).
*Three years of data were combined because of the relatively small number of live births per year for teenage mothers.
Due to revision of the birth certificate, since 2008, "On Medicaid" also includes Family Health Plus, Other government, and Child Health Plus B.

TECHNICAL NOTES, 2014

POPULATION
CITYWIDE POPULATION
The 2014 NYC population estimates used in tables and figures are based on the US Census Bureau 2014 Vintage population estimate as
extracted from http://www.census.gov/popest/data/counties/asrh/2014/CC-EST2014-ALLDATA.html. The 2014 US Census population estimate
for New York City (NYC) is 8,491,079. (See table on next page for 2014 NYC population estimates by age, race/ethnicity and sex).
Population data used to compute rate trends (2005-2014), regardless of NYC geography presented, was estimated by DOHMH, Epidemiology
Services, using the methodology found below under Community District Population Estimates.
RACE/ETHNICITY CATEGORIES
Beginning with the 2000 Census, respondents could describe themselves and household members as being of more than one race, selecting
at least one of six race categories: white, black, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and
some other race(s). These categories yield 63 possible combinations. Respondents also were asked if they were of Hispanic origin. The
resulting responses could be organized into 64 groups. New York Citys Department of City Planning collapses these groups into seven
categories: (1) Hispanic origin, (2) non-Hispanic white, (3) non-Hispanic black, (4) non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander, (5) non-Hispanic
American Indian and Alaska Native, (6) non-Hispanic of some other race, and (7) non-Hispanic of two or more races, which the Department
of City Planning refers to as mutually exclusive race and Hispanic categories. The first four of these categories are reflected in the Vital
Statistics Summary variable ethnic group with a 5th that combines non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native, non-Hispanic of some
other race, non-Hispanic of two or more races and other or multiple race. For more information, see Race, Ancestry, and Ethnic Group.
COMMUNITY DISTRICT POPULATION ESTIMATES

Community districts were established by City Charter in 1969 for the delivery of city services. Population figures for these districts are
compiled by Department of City Planning from census tract and census block data. The sum of the community district populations in each
borough may not equal the borough population or the citywide population because community districts may cross borough boundaries.
2014 Community District estimates
The 2014 Community District estimates were calculated based on the Census postcensal estimate for 2014 released in July 2015 (See
Historical Technical Notes for previous years methods).
LIFE EXPECTANCY
For life expectancy computations, single-year age group populations were based on decennial census counts. Life expectancies for 20012009 have been updated from the previous Summary using linear interpolation of single-year age group populations based on 2000 and
2010 census counts. Citywide life expectancies by sex and race/ethnicity for 2010 are calculated based on 2010 census population.
Population data for life expectancies for 2011-2013 were extrapolated based on single-year age groups of Census population, 2000 and
2010. Life expectancy for Asians and Pacific Islanders is not displayed because the required single year of age population denominators are
too small to produce reliable estimates. Also See Technical Notes: Deaths, Life Expectancy.
AGE CATEGORIES
Since 2010, rates of teen events (ages 15-17, 18-19) require population data with 22 age groups as opposed to the standard 18 provided by
the census. As a result, 22-age group population estimates are calculated and provided by Bureau of Epidemiology Services based on Census
Bureaus estimates.
DEMOGRAPHICS/CHARACTERISTICS OF VITAL EVENTS

AGE AT DEATH
For ages greater than one year, decedents age is based on age at last birthday. Unknown ages are recoded to mean age at death but are very
rare.
RACE, ANCESTRY, AND ETHNIC GROUP

Race and ancestry are two separate items on the certificates. A relative of the decedent usually reports this information to the funeral director
for the death certificate. As of 2003 and 2008, the death and birth certificates respectively allow for the selection of multiple races. Responses
are coded following rules from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The ordered selection rules for defining ethnic group first
assign Puerto Rican or other Hispanic ethnicities based on ancestry, regardless of race. Then, those of other or unknown ancestries are
classified by race as Asian and Pacific Islander, non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, or other/multiple race/unknown.
NCHS defines ancestry as the nationality, lineage, or country where the subjects ancestors were born before their arrival in the United States.
If a religious group is reported, NCHS instructions are to ask for the country of origin or nationality. New York City receives enough

certificates reporting Jewish or Hebrew ancestry to warrant inclusion in these tables, notwithstanding the religious meaning of the terms.
Persons whose race is black and whose ancestry is American are classified as being of African American ancestry.
Infant Mortality
Infants ethnic group is determined from mothers ancestry and race reported on the infants birth certificate. In the absence of corresponding
birth certificate for an infant death, the infants race and ancestry information on the infants death certificate is used to assign an ethnic
group.
When rates are computed by infant characteristics (e.g. sex of infant or hospital/location of death), such characteristics are drawn from the
death certificate, except for those characteristics that are either not indicated on the death certificate or only available on the childs birth
certificate (e.g. mothers prenatal care, infants birth weight, and gestational age). In the absence of a birth certificate, demographics are
limited to those available on the death certificate. Infants who died in New York City who were born elsewhere are classified as unmatched
in Appendix A: Tables IM2 and IM7.
GEOGRAPHICAL UNITS
RESIDENCY STATUS IN DATA PRESENTATION
Tables that stratify by location of residence (e.g., borough) separate data for nonresidents and residence-unknown categories. See Appendix
A: Table M1 as an example. Tables that do not stratify by location of residence combine all deaths registered in New York City, regardless of
residence.
Vital events that occurred to New York City residents while outside of New York City are not included in this report, with the exception of
Life Expectancy (Report: Figures 1--4; Appendix A Tables M24, M25). Life expectancy calculations use national data from the NCHS,
including deaths to New York City residents that occurred outside of New York City. For more information, see Life Expectancy.
BIRTHPLACE PRESENTATION
Mortality Data
Decedents birthplace is reported by country. American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, US Virgin Islands and Guam are included in
United States.
Mothers Birthplace (used for births and infant mortality data)
Starting in 2007, mothers birthplace is categorized as: United States, including its territories (Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, American
Samoa, Northern Marianas Islands, and Guam), Foreign, and Not Stated. When mothers birthplace is classified by country-specific
categories, Puerto Rico is categorized apart from the United States.
Borough of residence and other geographic classifications are based on the usual residence reported on the certificate.
COMMUNITY DISTRICT (CD)

Community districts were established by City Charter in 1969 for the delivery of city services. There are 59 Community Districts in New York
City. Since 1985, assignments to geographic areas smaller than borough, such as community district, are made through the Geosupport
Program, which is developed and maintained by the Department of City Planning. Additional information on community district geography
can be found at www.nyc.gov/dcp.
NEIGHBORHOOD POVERTY INDICATOR

Since 2012, neighborhood poverty disparities have been presented in the Summary of Vital Statistics. The neighborhood poverty
indicator is the agency-recommended indicator for monitoring socioeconomic health disparities. The summary reports poverty at the
census tract level. Each census tract is assigned to a neighborhood poverty category based on the percent of the census tract population
living below the federal poverty level. The four neighborhood poverty categories are:
Low:
<10% of the population
below poverty
Medium:
10-19% of the population
below poverty
High:
20-29% of the population
below poverty
Very High:
30% of the population
below poverty
The denominator of any rate by neighborhood poverty category contains the combined populations of census tracts falling within a
category. The numerator contains the summed number of vital events occurring to residents of the census tracts falling within a
category. Additional information on poverty indicator can be found at http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/thegeocodingproject/.

Death Rate, age, sex and race-adjusted per 100,000 population

The number of deaths per 100,000 US standard population. Age, sex
and race/ethnicity specific death rates are applied to a standard
population age distribution eliminating the effect of differences in
population age composition, and allowing comparisons over time
and between geographic areas.

*Pregnancy Outcome Counts and Rates

Pregnancy outcome (birth, spontaneous termination, or induced termination) counts and rate numerators use the number of events to women
of all ages. For example, the birth rate includes all births in a population, regardless of the mother's age. The denominator for these rates
differs by event, consistent with national standards. The birth rate denominator is the number of males and females of all ages. The
denominator for spontaneous or induced termination rates is the number of females ages 15-44 years. The counts and numerator used in agespecific pregnancy outcome rates for the youngest age category (teens 15-19), is the number of events to women in the population under age
20, relative to the denominator of women in the population ages 15 to 19 (Table 1. Pregnancy Outcomes Report). Similarly, the numerator
of the oldest age category (40-49) includes events to all women in the population over the age of 40, relative to the denominator of women in
the population ages 40-49. NYC first reported these age-specific rates in the 2011 Pregnancy Outcomes Report and applied a denominator of
women in the population ages 40-49 as opposed to 40-44 due to the increased number of events occurring among women ages 45-49. The
numerator used for the youngest age category for teen pregnancy outcomes (15-17 in Table PO10 Appendix A) is the number of events to
women in the population under age 17, relative to the denominator or women in the population ages 15-17.
DEATHS
DEATH CERTIFICATE (see copies in back of Appendix B)
There are two forms, one for natural causes and one for medical examiner cases. The current revisions of the death certificate, implemented
in 2003, is based on the recommended 2003 US Standard Certificate of Death http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/DEATH11-03final-ACC.pdf
x
x
Natural cause practitioner certificates Most deaths are due to natural causes.
Medical examiner certificate of death When the cause of death is an accident, homicide, suicide, or is unattended or due to certain
other circumstances (approximately 15% of deaths), the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) completes the
medical examiner certificate of death and supplementary report.
For natural cause certificates, the Electronic Vital Events Registration Systems (EVERS) Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS) became
available for voluntary use by hospitals in 2005. In January 2010, EDRS reporting became mandatory for medical examiner certificates. In
April 2010, EDRS reporting became mandatory for hospitals reporting >25 deaths/year.
The two forms are similar. Both collect important information pertaining to the fact of death (person, place, and time of death). Both collect
personal particulars which include items such as decedents Social Security number, address, birth place, education, marital status,
informants information, and place of disposition. The personal particulars are typically provided by a family member of the decedent
through the funeral home. Both collect cause of death, which is completed by the physician or a medical examiner. On the natural cause
certificate, the cause of death is entered on the confidential medical report, the OCME certificate and on the death certificate itself. In
addition to cause of death, the OCME certificate collects information on the circumstances of external causes of death. The OCME certificate
indicates manner of death: natural, accident, homicide, suicide, or undetermined. The confidential medical report information is for the
compilation of public health statistics and scientific purposes only.
DEATH REPORTING
The death events reported are based on certificates filed with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) for
vital events occurring in or in-route to New York City, regardless of individual residency status, in a particular year. Any events registered
after file closure (typically occurring within 5 months of year-end) are excluded from this report. Such late registrations are rare.
Death certificates must be filed within 72 hours of death or finding the body. During 2013, 93% of death certificates were filed electronically
using the Electronic Vital Events Registration System (EVERS). Additional information on EVERS is available at: www.nyc.gov/evers. Since the
June 1993 revision of the death certificate, decedent race and ancestry information is reported by funeral directors.
DEATH RATES
See Vital Event Rates
TYPE OF PLACE OF DEATH

Hospital includes residential units and other special facilities within the hospital. Nursing home includes only sites licensed as Extended
Care Facilities by New York State. Home refers to the decedents residence, and includes private houses and apartments, group quarters for
special populations, homes for adults, and other long-term residential sites.
95

CAUSE OF DEATH REPORTING
The cause of death on the death certificate is completed by a physician, medical examiner or, as of January 16, 2012, by a nurse practitioner.
The clinician is required to provide the complete sequence of events and/or medical conditions leading to the death. These include the
following:
immediate cause the specific condition that directly preceded the death.
intermediate cause(s) the significant condition(s) that preceded and gave rise to the immediate cause of death.
underlying cause the disease or condition that set off the chain of events leading to death.
For further information on how cause of death should be documented, visit www.nyc.gov/evers.
CAUSE OF DEATH-QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE

The Office of Vital Statistics initiated a program to improve quality of cause of death data in 2009, affecting mortality trends. See the NYC
Summary of Vital Statistics 2010, Special Section, for more information.
CAUSE OF DEATH CODING

Since 2008, the reported causes of death are coded using the NCHS automated coding software package SuperMICAR, which classifies
conditions according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) published by the World Health Organization. A single underlying
cause is assigned based on the reported chain of events leading to death. Standardized codes allow for national and international
comparisons. Causes of death that cannot be coded by SuperMICAR are investigated and coded by nosologists.
Prior to 2007, a large proportion of accidental drug related deaths (X40-X42, X44) were miscoded as chronic drug use (F11-F16, F18-F19).
For a full explanation, see the 2007 Annual Summary of Vital Statistics-Special Report: NYC Changes from Manual to Automated Cause of
Death Coding, pages 73-75.
Table M1 is based on the NCHS List of 113 Selected Causes of Death. Some causes have been added to or dropped from these tables based
on their number and importance in New York City.
Death trends across ICD code revision years may change as an artifact of the change in ICD codes and coding rules. These should be
interpreted with caution.
COMPARABILITY RATIO
National comparability ratios, last updated in 2003, reflect discontinuities in trends for the cause of death when a new version of the ICD is
implemented. They are presented in the Appendix A Table M1 to explain changes in following the implementation of the ICD-10 coding
system in January 1999.
Comparability ratios measure the net effect of ICD-10 on each cause of death. NCHS determined the causes of death under ICD-10 and ICD9 for more than 2.3 million 1996 US mortality records and calculated the ratio:

More information on the ICD-10/ICD-9 comparability ratio can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/mortality/comparability_icd.htm
SMOKING- AND ALCOHOL-ATTRIBUTABLE MORTALITY

Smoking- and alcohol-attributable deaths represent the number of New York City deaths attributed to exposure to smoking and alcohol
respectively. These statistics were computed using similar methodologies.
SMOKING-ATTRIBUTABLE MORTALITY (SAM)

SAM was calculated using CDCs Adult SAMMEC (Smoking-Attributable Mortality, Morbidity, and Economic Costs) program using an
attributable fraction formula. New York City sex-specific smoking prevalence was estimated from the New York City DOHMH Community
Health Survey (CHS) and computed by the Bureau of Epidemiology. The relative risks (RR) of death for current and former smokers 35
years of age for 19 smoking-related diseases was estimated from American Cancer Societys Cancer Prevention Study. The smokingattributable fraction (SAF) for each smoking-related disease and sex is calculated using the following formula:
SAF = [(p0 + p1(RR1) + p2(RR2)) - 1] / [p0 + p1(RR1) + p2(RR2)],
where p0 is the percentage of adult never-smokers in New York City; p1 is the percentage of adult current smokers in New York City; p2 is the
percentage of adult former-smokers in New York City; RR1 is the relative risk of death for adult current smokers relative to adult neversmokers; and RR2 is the relative risk of death for adult former-smokers relative to adult never-smokers.
To estimate the SAM, the age- and sex-specific SAFs are multiplied by the number of deaths for each smoking-related disease. Specifically,
the number of deaths for each sex and 5-year age category was multiplied by the SAF:
SAM = Number of deaths x SAF
96

Summing across age categories provides the sex-specific estimate of SAM for each disease. Total SAM is the sum of the sex-specific SAM
estimates. A detailed description of the methodology is available at http://apps .nccd.cdc.gov/sammec.
Beginning 2014, substantial changes in SAM calculation were made based on 2014 Surgeon General Report using more age strata and using
updated relative risks. Four new conditions were also added colorectal cancer (C18-C20), liver cancer (C22), diabetes (E10-E14) and
tuberculosis (A16-A19). In addition, C66 (cancer of ureter) to kidney cancer was added this was inadvertently omitted when CDC analyses
began being based on ICD-10 several years ago. See chapter 12 of 2014 Surgeon General Report at following link:
http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/reports/50-years-of-progress/sgr50-chap-12.pdf
ALCOHOL-ATTRIBUTABLE MORTALITY (Appendix A Table M14)

Alcohol-attributable deaths in Appendix A Table M14 represent the number of New York City deaths attributed to alcohol. Alcoholattributable mortality (AAM) was calculated using the Alcohol-Related Disease Impact (ARDI) program using an alcohol-attributable fraction
(AAF). For conditions that, by definition, are caused by alcohol use, the AAF was set equal to 1.0. For other conditions, especially injuries,
ARDI directly estimated the AAF based on direct observations about the relationship between alcohol and a given health outcome. For most
chronic conditions, the AAF was indirectly estimated using New York City alcohol prevalence data from the CHS combined with pooled risk
estimates from large meta-analyses using the following formula:
AAF = [p(RR 1)] / [1+ (p(RR 1)]
where p is the percentage of New York City men and women age 20 years and older who consume alcohol at a specified level of average
daily alcohol consumption within a given year, and RR is the likelihood of death from a particular condition at a specified level of average
daily alcohol consumption. To estimate AAM, AAFs were multiplied by the number of New York City deaths for specific causes defined by
the CDCs National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. Detailed description of the methodology is available at
http://nccd.cdc.gov/DPH_ARDI/default/default.aspx.
Beginning in 2014, the cut points of average drinks per day to define alcohol consumption as Low, Medium, and High were revised
slightly based on Ridolfo and Stevensons study in 2001 and Bagnardi et al. study in 2001. See Alcohol Related Disease Impact (ARDI)
Custom Data User Manual at the following link for details.
http://nccd.cdc.gov/DPH_ARDI/Info/ARDI_Custom_Data_User_Manual_2014.pdf
COMPLICATIONS OF MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CARE (Appendix A Table M22)

With the 10th revision of the ICD coding system, complications of medical and surgical care are no longer classified as accidents and are
now shown separately from accidents.
DRUG-RELATED DEATHS
Two definitions of drug-related deaths are presented in this report. The first, Mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of or poisoning
by psychoactive substance excluding alcohol and tobacco is based on NCHS standard cause of death definitions using underlying causes as
a basis for categorizing deaths and presented among the leading causes of death. The second definition, Accidental/unintentional Drugrelated Overdose Deaths is presented in the Executive Summaries of Summary of Vital Statistics, starting in 2009 and in 2012 Mortality
Report.
Mental and behavioral disorders due to use of or accidental poisoning by psychoactive substance excluding alcohol and tobacco (2013
Mortality Tables 1-5, Figures 13-16, Appendix A Tables M1, M7-M12 and M26): also called Use of or poisoning by psychoactive substance
or Drug Use/Poisoning combines underlying chronic drug-use ICD codes (F11-F16, F18-F19) and accidental (unintentional) drug-poisoning
ICD-10 codes (X40-X42, X44) to estimate overall drug-related deaths. This definition is found in Mortality Tables 1-5 Figures 9-12, Appendix
A Tables M1, M7-M12 and M26. Accidental poisoning by psychoactive substances, excluding alcohol and tobacco, the accidental subset
of underlying codes (X40-X42, X44) are reported in Appendix A Tables M1 and M18. Mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of
psychoactive substance excluding alcohol and tobacco, the chronic subset of underlying codes (F11-F16, F18-F19) is found in Appendix A
Table M1. However, please use accidental (unintentional) and chronic subset trend data with caution as changes from manual to
automated ICD coding resulted in a redistribution of chronic causes to acute in 2007 and going forward. For more information on coding
error, please see Cause of Death Coding.
EXTERNAL CAUSES OF DEATH (2014 Mortality Figures 16-19; Appendix A Tables M18-M23)
External causes of death include accidents, suicide, assault, legal intervention, events of undetermined intent, operations of war and their
sequelae, and complications of medical and surgical care. The Office of Chief Medical Examiner determines the cause and manner of death
in such cases. For the purpose of statistical analysis, whether a cause is defined as external depends on the ICD code assigned as the
underlying cause of death and may not agree with the manner of death reported.
Sometimes a cause of death has not been established when the statistical file is closed. Such deaths are classified as pending final
determination and may later be classified.
Deaths classified as events of undetermined intent are considered due to external causes for the purpose of statistical analysis.
97

Information on errors in coding external causes of death prior to 2007 are described above: Cause of Death Coding.
FATAL OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES (2014 Appendix A Table M17)

Appendix A, Table M17 is based on US. Department of Labors Bureau of Labor Statistics. These deaths, unlike NYC Vital statistics, are based
on the location of the injury, regardless of the residence of the decedents or location of the death. Note that these deaths may or may not
occur at the time of injury, they can occur subsequently. The industry in which the decedent worked and was injured is coded based on the
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Comparisons by industry before and after 2003 are discouraged because of the
substantial coding differences.
For all NYC occurring deaths due to external causes, the Bureau of Vital Statistics (BVS) reviews autopsy and other reports to determine if the
injury occurred at work. Definitions and terminology are based on US Department of Labors Bureau of Labor Statistics, which may differ
from other definitions used in vital statistics.
HEART DISEASE DEATHS: See 2010 Mortality Special Section: Cause of Death Quality Improvement Initiative for information on the
initiatives impact on cause of death reporting, particularly heart disease reporting.
HIV AND AIDS MORTALITY (2014 Mortality Tables 2-3; Appendix A M16)
Beginning 1999, with the 10th revision of the ICD code, deaths due to HIV disease (ICD-10 codes B20-B24) are characterized by the
resulting disease or condition, replacing AIDS and other HIV infections in ICD 9 th revision.
HOMICIDE (2014 Mortality Figure 19; Appendix A Table M20)

A homicide is defined as the action of one person causing the death of another regardless of intent (e.g., whether self-defense or justifiable
legal intervention). Annual counts of homicides reported by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) differ from those of the Bureau of
Vital Statistics (BVS) for a number of reasons outlined below. Nonetheless, reported trends are similar. All homicides are medical examiner
(ME) cases.
NYPD reports homicides as counts of Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter using rules and procedures from the Federal Bureau of
Investigations Uniform Crime Reporting System (UCR). The count includes deaths determined to be both criminal and satisfying the UCR
guidelines. NYPD judges some homicides as justifiable and reports these separately to the FBI. BVS reports a death as a homicide based on
the ICD-10 system. ICD-10 defines legal intervention as including injuries inflicted by police or other law-enforcing agents ... in the course
of arresting or attempting to arrest ... and other legal action. Since 2003, deaths from legal intervention have been reported separately in
Appendix A, Tables M1 and M20 and are excluded from the homicide counts in Tables M11 and M12.
NYPD Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter statistics count all murder crimes known to have been committed in New York City
regardless of where the death occurred. Note, the crime may or may not have occurred at the time of death; death can occur subsequently
and therefore potentially in a different jurisdiction than the murder crime. BVS reports all homicide deaths known to have occurred in New
York City regardless of where the crime was committed.
In its annual count, the NYPD includes homicides known to have occurred within that calendar year by the second week of January of the
following year. Any death determined to be a criminal murder outside of that period will be counted in the year that the determination is
made. BVS reports homicide by the date of the death and the annual count includes any cases reported until the file closes for the year
(approximately 5 months after the end of the year).
Sometimes death results from a crime many years after the crime was committed. Other times, a death may be determined a crime years after
the death. In either situation, the ME may determine the death a homicide. If classified as a criminal homicide, NYPD will count the death in
the year that the determination is made. However BVS will report the homicide by the date of death. In cases where a death is reclassified a
homicide after the file closes, the death will be recorded as a homicide on the death certificate, but this change will not be reflected in any
counts of homicides for the year of death or any other years.
LIFE EXPECTANCY (2014 Mortality Figures 1-4; Appendix A Tables M24, M25)
Life expectancy tables summarize the effect of mortality rates prevailing at a specific time on persons being born or living at that time. Tables
may be computed for population subgroups, most often males, females, and race groups. The calculation requires counts and mortality
figures for the desired subgroups. Life expectancy is estimated by ethnic group instead of race to ascertain differences among Hispanics, nonHispanic whites and non-Hispanic blacks. Life expectancy tables by race/ethnicity for New York City are generally presented for census years
when accurate population data are available. The mortality experience for the census year, the year before, and the year after is used to
smooth statistical variation (Table M24). Life expectancies in Figures 1-2 are calculated by complete life tables ( for a single year of age). Life
expectancies in Figures 3-4 are calculated by abridged life tables (age groups). The number of Asian and Pacific Islander deaths is too small to
generate reliable life expectancies and therefore are not presented either in Mortality Figure 2 or Appendix A. Table M24.
The World Trade Center disaster deaths are not included in calculation of life expectancy.
98

Appendix A, Table M25 presents annual life expectancy by age and sex providing trend information. Annual life expectancy is estimated
using single-year of age death data. Table M25 does not include life expectancy for 2014 because national data on deaths to New York City
residents occurring outside of New York City are required and not yet available.
Historical Hispanic ancestry data and life expectancy estimates should be interpreted with caution. In addition to changes in collection of
Hispanic ancestry information, Hispanic immigration patterns may result in overestimated life expectancy if Hispanics move out of the US
before death at a greater rate than other ethnic groups. The Hispanic population tends to be younger than other ethnic groups, which may
lead to underestimates of Hispanic death rates and overestimates of Hispanic life expectancy.
MATERNAL DEATH AND MATERNAL MORTALITY (Appendix A M13)

Deaths due to Maternal Causes meet the World Health Organizations definition of maternal mortality: death of a woman while pregnant
or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management .... With the
10th revision of the ICD coding system, this category includes codes O00-O95, O98-O99 and A34 (obstetrical tetanus). Pregnancy,
childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O99) includes deaths to women that occur outside of the time limitation defined by the World Health
Organization (WHO).
MOTOR VEHICLE DEATHS (2014 Mortality: Figure 17, Appendix A Table M18)
The Bureau of Vital Statistics (BVS) methodology for counting Motor Vehicle Deaths differs from that of the Department of Transportation
(DOT) and NYPD in two ways. First, DOT and NYPD do not include deaths resulting from illness while operating a motor vehicle in their
traffic fatality count, while BVS does, as this is the standardized NCHS approach. Second, in cases where serious injury suffered during a
motor vehicle accident results in subsequent death (e.g., one month later) the fatality will be counted by DOT and NYPD for the month in
which the accident occurred. However, BVS reports deaths by date of death.
PREMATURE DEATHS (2014 Mortality: Figures 9-15, Table 4; Appendix A Table M9-10)
Premature deaths are deaths that occur before a person reaches an expected age, for instance, age 65 or age 75. Premature death rates in the
NYC Annual Summary of Vital Statistics use 65 as the expected age. The number of deaths or deaths by select cause(es) relative to the <65
population in the same geographic area result in the rate of premature deaths. In addition, see Years of Potential Life Lost (YPPL).
WORLD TRADE CENTER (WTC) DEATHS
Since 2008, any deaths during the reporting year identified as late-effect WTC deaths are counted in the year of the confirmed death report
and in Appendix A, Table M1 under Assault (homicide): ICD-10 Code U02. The total number of WTC deaths is 2,752. The number does not
include 3 deaths that occurred outside of NYC. Unless otherwise specified, WTC deaths occurring in 2001 are generally not included in
Summary tables and figures due to the effect this large number would have on year-to-year trends.
YEARS OF POTENTIAL LIFE LOST (2014 Mortality Appendix A Table M26)

Years of potential life lost (YPLL) measures years lost due to premature death. In contrast to mortality measures, YPLL emphasizes the effect of
premature mortality on a population. YPLL is often calculated using a cutoff age, 65 or 75, as follows:
YPLL=[(cutoff age - i )] x di
where i is the midpoint of the grouped year of age at death and d i is the number of deaths at grouped year of age i. YPLL can be calculated for
specified causes of death. In Table M26, age 75 is used as the cut off age and single year of age is used in calculation. Therefore i is single
year of age younger than 75. See also Premature Deaths.

PREGNANCY OUTCOMES
BIRTHS
BIRTH CERTIFICATE (see copy in back of Appendix B)
The birth certificate comprises two parts: the certificate of birth and the confidential medical report of birth. The current revision of the birth
certificate, implemented in 2008, is based on the recommended 2003 US Standard Certificate of Live Birth
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/birth11-03final-ACC.pdf. The 2008 revision coincided with the January 2008 electronic filing requirement.
The certificate of birth is the legal record. Each certificate is authenticated by the medical provider (physician or midwife) or his or her
representative and filed with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The confidential medical report, used for the compilation of public health statistics and scientific purposes, includes parents demographic
information, mothers prenatal history and care, information on financial coverage, maternal morbidity, labor and delivery, and condition and
treatment of the infant during, and immediately after, birth. These data are collected from the mother, the mothers and infants medical
records, and medical providers.
BIRTH REPORTING
The birth events reported are based on certificates filed with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) for
vital events occurring in or in-route to New York City, regardless of individual residency status, in a particular year. Births must be filed
within five business days of the event. Birth data are generally collected using two worksheets: mother/parent and facility worksheets. Guides
for the completion of the birth certificate and data entry can be found at http://www.nyc.gov/evers. Effective January 2008, BVS requires all
hospitals registering more than 100 births per year to use the Electronic Vital Events Registration System (EVERS). In 2013, more than 99% of
all births were registered electronically through the Electronic Vital Events Registration System (EVERS). Any events registered after file closure
(typically occurring within 5 months of year-end) are excluded from this report. Such late registrations are rare.
BIRTH RATES
DATA PRESENTATION
Starting with the 2007 summary, items with unknown/not stated values are excluded from the denominator when calculating percentages.
This affects Appendix A Tables PO6, PO7, PO11, PO12 and Map PO Figure 11.
BREAST FEEDING
Breast feeding has been reported on the birth certificate since 2008. It includes infant feeding practices through the first 5 days of life. New
York City births must be filed with the Department within five business days of the event.
PLACE OF BIRTH
Since 1996, home births in Appendix A Tables PO4 and PO5 include all events for which Home was selected as the Type of Place
regardless of whether the certificate was filed through a hospital. Home births in Table PO1 include events for which home was selected as
Type of Place and the certificate was not filed by an institution; typically, these events were filed by the person who attended to the birth at
home.
Appendix A: Table PO1 describes the live births according to the borough in which the birth occurred. Prior to 2010, Table PO1 reported
births according to the borough in which the reporting office was located. This primarily affects the frequency of places other than a hospital
or home and home births, which occur citywide but are frequently reported by the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Manhattan.
MOTHERS MARITAL STATUS

The New York City DOHMH is prohibited by local law from recording mothers marital status on the record or report of birth. As a result,
marital status is estimated and should be interpreted with caution. Since 1997, marital status is computed using the following algorithm:
certificates without the fathers name and those with the fathers name that are accompanied by an Acknowledgment of Paternity are
categorized as non-married; all others are categorized as married. Married parents have a right to have both their names on their childs birth
certificate. This applies equally to married opposite-sex parents and same-sex parents. Some hospitals require proof of marriage. If the mother
is not married, a fathers name may be added through an Acknowledgment of Paternity or court order.
TEEN BIRTHS
See Age-specific birth rate under VITAL EVENT RATES, above.
GESTATIONAL AGE
100

Gestational age, or clinical estimate of gestation, is defined as the best obstetric estimate of the infants gestation in completed weeks based
on the birth attendants final estimate of gestation. Characteristics of live births and/or infant deaths in the Appendix A, Tables PO4-PO7,
PO11, and PO12, respectively, include either gestational age categories or a dichotomous indicator of preterm (<37 weeks gestation) birth.
Beginning 2007, the range for valid gestational age was changed from 20-44 weeks to 17-47 weeks.
SPONTANEOUS AND INDUCED TERMINATIONS OF PREGNANCY REPORTING

SPONTANEOUS TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY CERTIFICATE (see copy in back of Appendix B)
Like the birth certificate, the spontaneous termination of pregnancy certificate has two parts, the certificate and the confidential medical
report. The certificate is available to the mother. The confidential medical report information is collected for the compilation of public health
statistics and scientific purpose.
INDUCED TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY CERTIFICATE (see copy in back of Appendix B)
Induced termination of pregnancy certificates are not issued. Data are collected for the compilation of public health statistics and scientific
purpose.
The spontaneous and induced termination of pregnancy events reported are based on certificates filed with the New York City Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) for vital events occurring in or in-route to New York City, regardless of individual residency status, in
a particular year. By law, all terminations of pregnancy are to be reported within 5 business days of the event, unless a permit to dispose of
the conceptus is required (>24 week gestation) or requested (any gestational age). In such a case, the event must be reported within 24
hours. However, the number of induced and spontaneous terminations filed depends to some extent on the outreach conducted by BVS.
Effective January 1, 2011, all facilities that report births electronically to the Department pursuant to Public Health Law 203, are required to
report spontaneous terminations electronically via the Electronic Vital Events Registration System (EVERS); the Chief Medical Examiner and all
facilities reporting 100 or more induced terminations of pregnancy per year also are required to file electronically via EVERS; all facilities that
have commenced reporting electronically, regardless of number of events reported are required to do so electronically. In 2011, 99.8% of
induced terminations of pregnancy and 99.7% of spontaneous terminations of pregnancy were filed electronically. Otherwise, paper forms,
authorized by the department may be used for reporting such events.

2010
The 2007-2009 Annual Summaries used the respective years pre-challenged US

Census Bureaus population estimates. As a result, city and borough-wide estimates
overall and by age, ethnicity and sex may vary from those presented in prior
summaries.
2007-2009
The 2005-2006 Annual Summaries used post 2000 census estimates for citywide, 2005-2006
county (borough), 5-year age group, ethnic group and sex population counts. The
Summary year population counts used pre-challenged census estimates; prior year
population counts presented in the Summaries used post-challenged census estimates
in addition to Census 2000 data.
Population counts used US Census citywide decennial population counts.
20002004
Intercensal counts were estimated using an exponential formula, which assumes

that the growth rate was the same throughout the decade:
Intercensal

Community District population estimates for 2013 were based on Census intercensal 2013
estimates by county, age, race, and sex, 2013 vintage, and interpolated by Bureau of
Epi Services. See following description of 2012 data for details.
102

Community District
Community District population estimates for the year 2010-2012 are based on 2012
population estimates from 2010 to 2012. Census intercensal estimates by county, age,
race, and sex. The 2010 number is adjusted to account for undercount in Brooklyn
and Queens as documented by the Department of City Planning. To calculate
individual years Community District estimates beginning with July 1 st, 2000, an
interpolation by Community District, age, race, and sex was adjusted to the county,
age, race, and sex numbers using an iterative proportional fitting procedure. Each year
through 2009 was constructed from an interpolation based on the previous year, the
modified Census 2010, and the intercensal numbers for that year. The July 1 st, 2010
numbers were then extrapolated using July 1st, 2009 and Census 2010 and then
adjusted to the July 1st intercensal numbers. These estimates differ from the 2001-2011
estimates used in the 2010 and 2011 Summary because the 2010 and 2011 Summary
estimates were adjusted to official intercensal estimates consistent with Census 2010
released in October 2012.
Community District population estimates for the years 2000-2010 use population 2011
estimates from Census 2000 and Census 2010 and the official Census intercensal
estimates by county, age, race, and sex. To calculate individual years Community
District estimates beginning with July 1st, 2000, an interpolation by Community
District, age, race, and sex was adjusted to the county, age, race, and sex numbers
using an iterative proportional fitting procedure. Each year through 2009 was
constructed from an interpolation based on the previous year and Census 2010. The
July 1st, 2010 numbers were then extrapolated using July 1st, 2009 and Census 2010
and then adjusted to the July 1st intercensal numbers. These estimates differ from the
2000-2010 estimates used in the 2010 Summary because they are adjusted to official
intercensal estimates consistent with Census 2010 released in October 2012.
Community district population estimates by sex and 18 age groups were derived by 2010
the New York City Department of City Planning. For community district data by
race/ethnicity and 22 age groups for the same period, DOHMH Bureau of Epi
Services constructed estimates from the Department of City Planning data and
available Census 2000 and 2010 data, ensuring consistency with marginal totals
from the Census Intercensal Estimates program. Postcensal estimates as well as the
official 2010 modified race summary files were used. Because the 2010 modified
race summary file was not available from the Census for single-year age by modified
race groups, DOHMH used Census summary file 1 and adjusted the dataset to match
the Census modified race summary file. To create the modified race groups, the
some other race group was removed and race is imputed. While the modified race
summary file created by the Census used information from other members of the
same household, the DOHMH used race information from the corresponding Census
tract. The race distribution was then modified to match the 2010 modified race
summary file.
103

Community District population estimates for intercensal years use United States 2008-2009
Census Bureau Population Estimate Program and housing unit data from the New
York City Department of City Planning. The housing unit method of estimation
allocates the population to Community Districts. The method multiplies the estimated
number of households in a given area by an estimate of the population per
household. In the intercensal context, housing unit growth, measured by housing
permit data, determines the locations of growth. Because these estimates are
calibrated to equal United States Census-borough-specific population totals, the
borough population per household is fixed. New population estimate are derived
using the iterative proportional fitting procedure (IPFP) implemented in SAS
Version 9.2. The validity of these estimates depends on vacancy rates, housing unit
loss rates, percentage of permits actually constructed, and time to complete
construction, which are assumed consistent at the borough level and thus have no
effect on the allocation of growth. The method is sensitive to the quality of the
housing permit data, which does not identify residential conversions to multiple units.
Demographic characteristics are allocated assuming those at the location of growth.
Therefore, this approach does not capture intercensal demographic changes at the
neighborhood level including change due to migration.
Year 2000 census counts were used for defining smaller geographic units such as 2005-2006
Community Districts or single-year age groups.
Health Center District
Population estimates for Health Center District (HCD) were not computed in time for Through 2007
the release of 2008 report and have not been presented since 2007. As a result,
Health Center District tables were either replaced (Table 7) or did not present rates
(Table 34).
Health Center district data were presented in Summary Reports. Populations
Through 2007
for geographic area smaller than borough were based on decennial census data.
Race/Ethnic Group
Census data were used to define race and ethnic distribution; in 2002, the Census 2000-2001
Bureau issued the modified Race File resulting in a 65% reduction in Other and
Multiple Race, a 6% increase in Asian and Pacific Islander, and 3% increases for
non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black. There was no change for Hispanic
population.
DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF VITAL EVENTS

Race, Ancestry and Ethnic The death certificate allowed the selection of one race category
Group
Through 2002
The birth certificate allowed the selection of one race category.
Through 2007
The meaning of ancestry was clarified with hospitals, resulting in a notable increase in 1999
Hebrew and Jewish ancestry and a decrease in American ancestry.

Birthplace
Mothers birthplace was reported in four categories: United States other than
Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, Foreign and Not Stated. US Virgin Islands and Guam
are included in the Foreign category.
1991-2006
Decedents birthplace was first reported by country in 2000. US Virgin Islands and
Guam were included in the Other category.
2000 - 2006
GEOGRAPHICAL UNITS
Community District
Community districts were referred to by number through 2002 and by name after. Prior to 2003
Place of Birth
Through 1995, all reports of home births included only events filed outside the
hospital.
Through 1995
DEATHS
Death Reporting
Medical certifier provided race and ancestry information.
Through 1992
Race/Ethnicity
The death certificate was revised in June 1993 to require funeral directors to
provide ancestry information, presumably from decedents family members.
1993 - present
Medical certifier provided ancestry information.
Through 1992
ICD-coding was conducted manually by an NCHS certified nosologist.
Through 2006
Cause of Death Coding
Alcohol-related Deaths: ICD Following increasing deaths due to binge drinking, the ICD codes for alcohol-related 2008 - present
Coding
deaths were reevaluated by the World Health Organizations Mortality Reference
Group and coding was implemented in 2008. Core changes included recoding acute
alcoholism, previously coded as F10.2, to X45 (alcohol poisoning) and retiring F100
and going forward coding such cases as X45. This resulted in an increase in alcohol
liver disease and alcohol poisoning and a decrease in alcohol dependence
syndrome. A subsequent decrease in alcohol liver disease between 2008 and 2009
is, in part, a result of further corrections to coding applied in 2009. Similar changes
are seen in US data.
HIV and AIDS
In 1987, NCHS introduced code 042 for AIDS and 043-044 for other HIV disease 1987 to 1999
deaths. Additional information on historical HIV coding can be found in the 1997
and 1998 Annual Summaries.
AIDS was recognized as a cause of death and coded as ICD-9 code 279.1.
1983 to 1986
External Causes
External Causes were not shown separately.
Through 1999
Drug-related Deaths: ICD

Coding
Through 2006, a large proportion of accidental drug related deaths (X40-X42, X44) Through 2006
were miscoded as chronic drug use (F11-F16, F18- F19). For a full explanation, please
see the 2007 Annual Summary of Vital Statistics-Special Report: NYC Changes from
Manual to Automated Cause of death Coding, pg 73-75. NCHS coded data is often
substituted when presenting external causes of death trends that span 2006 to 2007.
Maternal Deaths and

Maternal Mortality
Currently labeled Maternal deaths were Complications of pregnancy,

childbirth and the puerperium through 1998.
105
Through 1998

Accidents (Unintentional)
The site of accidents (home and public place) has been dropped due to unreliable Through 1998
reporting.
Complications of medical care and surgical care were classified as accidents per
ICD-9.
Smoking-Attributable
Mortality (SAM)
Through 1999
SAM was calculated using CDCs Adult SAMMEC (Smoking-Attributable Through

Mortality, Morbidity, and Economic Costs) program using an attributable fraction 2013
formula. New York City sex-specific smoking prevalence was estimated from the New
York City DOHMH Community Health Survey (CHS) and computed by the Bureau of
Epidemiology. The relative risks (RR) of death for current and former smokers 35
years of age for 19 smoking-related diseases were estimated from the American
Cancer Societys Cancer Prevention Study. The smoking-attributable fraction (SAF) for
each smoking-related disease and sex is calculated using the following formula:
2010,
SAF = [(p0 + p1(RR1) + p2(RR2)) - 1] / [p0 + p1(RR1) + p2(RR2)],

Where p0 is the percentage of adult never-smokers in New York City; p 1 is the
percentage of adult current smokers in New York City; p2 is the percentage of adult
former smokers in New York City; RR1 is the relative risk of death for adult current
smokers relative to adult never-smokers; and the RR2 is the relative risk of death for
adult former-smokers relative to adult never-smokers.
To estimate the SAM, the age- and sex-specific SAFs are multiplied by the number of
deaths for each smoking-related disease. Specifically, the number of deaths for each
sex and 5-year age category was multiplied by the SAF:
SAM = Number of deaths x SAF
Summing across age categories provides the sex-specific estimate of SAM for each
disease. Total SAM is the sum of the sex-specific SAM estimates. A detailed
description of the methodology is available at http://apps .nccd.cdc.gov/sammec.
World Trade Center Deaths
See Technical Notes, 2009 regarding late effect WTC-deaths.
2008-present
In 2007, a 2002 death was reclassified as a WTC death.
2007, 2008
In 2008, a 2001 death was reclassified as a 2001 WTC death.

In 2008, a missing person was classified as a 2001 WTC death per New York
State Supreme Court.
In 2002, the number of WTC deaths included in 2001 deaths was updated from
2,740 to 2,749. This new number included six additional death certificates filed
through October 31, 2003 and three deaths that occurred outside of New York City
(See 2002 Special Section for details).
Fatal Occupational Injuries The industry in which the decedent worked and was injured was coded based on the
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC).

Section)

BIRTHS
Age-specific Birth Rates
Until, 2011, youngest and oldest age-specific birth rates included events within the
specific age range (e.g. age-specific birth rates to females 15 to 19 include births to
females in that age group. Age-specific births to females 15-17 include births to
females in that age group. See current technical notes for change in 2011.
Through 2010
Age-specific Birth Rates
Until 2011, the oldest age-specific birth rate presented was 40 to 44. See current
technical notes for change in 2011.
Through 2010
Trimester of First Prenatal

Care Visit (Late or no
Prenatal care).
Following the 2008 transition to EVERS, the magnitude of births registered without
information used to calculate Trimester of First Prenatal Care Visit was great and data
were suppressed. By 2010 reporting improved such that data could be released and
included in the Summary.
2008-2009
Ancestry, Other
Following the 2008 transition to EVERS, the number of births registered with an
other or unknown ancestry increased.
2008-2010
Mothers Marital Status
Mothers Marital Status was computed using an algorithm developed by NCHS. A

1996 review of marital status indicated that the number of non-marital births was
being overestimated. See Special Note on Mothers Marital Status in the 1997
Annual Summary for details.
Through 1996
