(1)I am helping a graduate student who is looking for a very precise dataset which will probably require a custom tab.
She is looking for the daily number of heat-related deaths (I know there is a category for that in the Vital Statistics database) for the following dates:
· 10th-13th of July 2005,
· 15th of July to 2nd of August 2006
· 17th to 25th of July 2011
For the following areas:
· Montreal CMA
· Toronto CMA
· Province of Quebec
· Ontario
· All of Canada
The data should be broken down by:
· Sex
· Age
(1 - Revised) After talking to the researcher, she has reformulated her request hoping that data could be provided at a less granular level.
So, now, she would be is looking for the daily number of heat-related deaths (I know there is a category for that in the Vital Statistics database) for the following dates:
· July 2005
· July 2011
For the following areas:
Montreal CMA
Province of Quebec
Answer
(1)Unfortunately the custom tab as requested is not feasible, please see response below from the Health Statistics production team:
This request is not feasible as specified. While there is no minimum for suppression in Deaths custom tabulations, the data has to be randomly rounded by 5 to abide to our confidentiality rules. In this particular case, the number of deaths linked to the ICD-10 codes provided is lower than 10, which would translate into meaningless strings of 0, 5 and 10 if we should go on with the request as specified.
