DEATHS 2003 LOUISIANA VITAL STATISTICS REPORT Figure 5.3: Percent of Deaths from the Five Leading Causes of Death Louisiana, 2003 Malignant Neoplasms 22% All Other Causes 36% Accidents & Adverse Effects 5% Diabetes Mellitus 4% Diseases of the Heart 27% Cerebrovascular Disease 6% Rounding out the ten leading causes of death to Louisiana residents in 2003 were: Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases; Alzheimer’s disease; Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, and Nephrosis; Influenza and Pneumonia; and Septicemia. Louisiana and the United States shared the same ten leading causes of death in 2003, but differed in the rates at which they occurred, and thus their rank order. The three leading causes of death in both Louisiana and the United States in 2003 were heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Louisiana's crude death rates, however, exceeded the national rates for eight of the ten leading causes of death; only Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases and Influenza and Pneumonia rates were higher at the national level. The ranking of age-adjusted death rates was determined by listing the crude death rates from highest to lowest and then adjusting these rates for age, maintaining the original rank order (Table 5.2, Figure 5.4).

2003 LOUISIANA VITAL STATISTICS REPORT DEATHS Figure 5.4: Age-Adjusted Death Rates for the Ten Leading Causes of Death Louisiana and United States, 2003 Septicemia Influenza & Pneumonia Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, & Nephrosis Alzheimer's Disease Chronic Low er Respiratory Diseases Diabetes Mellitus Accidents Cerebrovascular Disease Malignant Neoplasms Diseases of the Heart 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 225 250 275 Rate per 100,000 U.S. 2000 standard population 1994-2003 Louisiana Death Rates The top four causes of death for the year 2003 have been the leading causes of death in Louisiana for the past twenty years. The fifth-ranked cause has alternated among Diabetes, Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases, and Influenza and Pneumonia. Figures 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7, and Table 5.3 present crude death rates for the top five causes of death in Louisiana from 1994 through 2003. Beginning with deaths occurring in 1999, the United States implemented the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases, Injuries, and Causes of Death (ICD-10). The ICD system categorizes death causes recorded on death certificates into groups useful for summarizing, describing, and comparing causes of death throughout the world (see Technical Notes). Figures 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7 present two versions of crude death rates for 1996, 1997, and 1998. The "filled" pointers for these three years report crude death rates as determined under the ninth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9), which was used to classify deaths occurring from 1979 through 1998. The "unfilled" pointers report these same crude death rates after they have been adjusted mathematically to be comparable to ICD-10.
