Global surveillance of trends in cancer survival 2000–14 (Concord-3): Analysis of individual records for 37 513 025 patients diagnosed with one of 18 cancers from 322 population-based registries in 71…
BACKGROUND: In 2015, the second cycle of the CONCORD programme established global surveillance of cancer survival as a metric of the effectiveness of health systems and to inform global policy on cancer control. CONCORD-3 updates the worldwide surveillance of cancer survival to 2014. METHODS: CONCORD-3 includes individual records for 37·5 million patients diagnosed with cancer during the 15-year period 2000-14. Data were provided by 322 populatio…
Underregistration of neonatal deaths: An empirical study of the accuracy of infantile vital statistics in Taiwan
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The accuracy of the official statistic on infant deaths in Taiwan has been questioned. This study aimed to survey infant deaths nationwide, to measure associated vital statistics, and compare them with the official statistics to assess accuracy. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: A nationwide survey of all gestational outcomes occurring at > or = 20 weeks' gestation over a three day study period (15-17 May 1989) was conducted to collect da…
Quantifying the future impact of disease on society: Life table-based measures of potential life lost
OBJECTIVES: Quantifying health status in human populations by means of an index such as "years of potential life lost" has recently received attention. However, such an index, being cross-sectional in nature, only measures the current burden to society resulting from a specific cause of death. METHODS: The author proposes new indices of potential life lost to quantify future impacts on society of particular causes of death. These indices also pro…
Estimating life expectancy using an age-cohort model in Taiwan
OBJECTIVES: Life expectation is a valuable summary index in public health and actuarial science. The life expectancies published in the vital statistics, however, are derived from the "current" rather than from the "cohort" life table. The former is based on a strong assumption of constant mortality in the population, whereas the latter calls for a recording of the mortality experience of a group of individuals, which is often an impossible task.…
