ABS revisions to Causes of Death Data
The ABS began a significant quality assurance process in 2010 to improve the quality of coding of deaths data. This new process has involved revising the Causes of Death data from 2006 by including any subsequently closed coronial cases that had failed to reach a conclusion ahead of the original ABS cut off period for that year.
In 2015, a final revision of 2011 data and a first revision of 2012 data took place. ABS has now also completed the process with final data for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Figures below show that for both males and females, in every age group, the revised rates (published by ABS in 2015) are all slightly increased relative to the previously released preliminary rates.
For more information on this data visit the ABS website at www.abs.gov.au
