2 Standardzaton Stan Becker, PhD Bloomberg School of Publc Health
3 Purpose of Standardzaton Purpose of Standardzaton Procedure of adjustment of crude rates to elmnate from them the effect of dfferences n populaton composton wth respect to age and/or other varables Contnued 3
4 Purpose of Standardzaton Ths s necessary because: Rates are affected by the demographc composton of the populaton for whch they are calculated Age composton s a key factor affectng crude rates Contnued 4
5 Purpose of Standardzaton For purpose of comparson of rates over tme or from area to area, t s mportant to determne the dfference between the rates after takng nto account the dfferences n the composton of the populatons Adjusted rates have no drect meanng n themselves; they must be compared wth the orgnal crude rates or wth other adjusted rates usng the same standard 5
6 Notaton r n n p = Rate for th group n study populaton = Number of persons n th group n study populaton = Total number of persons n study populaton = n = Proporton of persons n th group n study populaton = n /n = weght e = Number of events n study populaton = r *n Contnued 6
7 Notaton R = Rate for th group n standard populaton N = Number of persons n th group n standard populaton N = Total number of persons n standard populaton = N P = Proporton of persons n th group n standard populaton = N /N = weght C = Crude rate n standard populaton 7
8 Drect Standardzaton Smplest and most straghtforward technque Provdes the best bass for determnng the dfference between two crude rates The rates from two or more study populatons are appled to a common populaton dstrbuton (standard populaton) Contnued 8
9 Drect Standardzaton Often drectly standardzed rates are calculated for a seres of populatons usng the same standard The seres could be the same populaton at dfferent tme ponts 9
10 Standard Populaton Standard Populaton The standard populaton can be any one of the study populatons, ther average, or any other populaton dstrbuton; the choce of the standard s arbtrary Contnued 10
11 Standard Populaton If one of the populatons s chosen, ts crude rates = ts standardzed rates The rates from the other study populaton(s) are appled to the dstrbuton of the standard If the average s chosen, the rates from each study populaton are appled to that new standard populaton 11
12 Drect Standardzaton Formulas r N r N R N DSDR = r P = = = N R N N = expected events n study populaton actual events n standard populaton C = = comparatve mortalty fgure (CMF) C 12
13 Drect Standardzaton Example Drect Standardzaton Brth Rate (DSBR) of Maurtus Island s (M.I.) 1985 crude brth rate usng Mal's 1987 data as standard 13
14 Drect Standardzaton of Maurtus Island: (Study) (Standard) Expected Age group Rates M.I. per Populaton number of 1000 Mal brths, M.I Total Total number of brths, Mal: Total number of brths, M.I.: CBR Mal: 48.7 CBR M.I Source: U.N. Demographc Yearbook 1986, 1992, and
15 Drect Standardzaton M.I. DSBR = Expected brths n M.I. Actual brths n Mal CBR Mal = = Source: U.N. Demographc Yearbook 1986, 1992, and
16 Indrect Standardzaton Indrect Standardzaton The rates from a standard populaton are appled to the dstrbuton of one or more study populatons Choce of standard rates s up to the demographer 16
17 Indrect Standardzaton Formulas r n e IDSR = C = C = R n R n = actual events n study populaton expected events n study populaton C = = standardzed mortalty rato (SMR) * C 17
18 Indrect Standardzaton Standard Mortalty Rate (SMR) Notes on SMR: The absolute value of the standardzed mortalty rato depends on the chosen set of standard rates SMR has no meanng by tself t should be compared wth other SMRs (relatve values ndcate hgher or lower standardzed ncdences of events) 18
19 Indrect Standardzaton Crude Brth Rate Example Indrect Standardzaton Brth Rate (ISBR) of Maurtus Island s (M.I.) 1985 crude brth rate usng Mal's 1987 data as standard 19
20 Indrect Standardzaton of Maurtus Island: (Standard) (Study) Expected Age group Rates Mal Populaton number of per 1000 M.I. brths, M.I Total Total number of brths, Mal: Total number of brths, M.I.: CBR Mal: 48.7 CBR M.I Source: U.N. Demographc Yearbook 1986, 1992, and
21 Indrect Standardzaton Formulas M.I. ISBR = Observed brths n M.I. Expected brths n M.I. CBR Mal = = 14.3 Source: U.N. Demographc Yearbook 1986, 1992, and
22 Indrect Standardzaton Indrect standardzaton can be deceptve It s to be used f: There are no rates avalable for study populatons,.e., only counts avalable Rates for study populatons are not relable because of small numbers of events or populaton Contnued 22
23 Indrect Standardzaton Example Comparson of crude and ndrectly standardzed rates for four populatons, usng England and Wales or Mexco as standard Contnued 23
24 Indrect Standardzaton Study Populaton Indrectly standardzed rates CDR 1962 England and Wales Mexco Rate Rank Rate Rank Rate Rank Czechoslovaka Iceland Poland Thaland Contnued 24
25 Indrect Standardzaton Example Comparson of drectly and ndrectly standardzed crude death rates for four countres, usng the U.S. populaton and crude death rate as standard (U.S. CDR = 8.75) Contnued 25
26 Indrect Standardzaton Standardzed Death Rates Country Crude Drect Indrect CMF SMR Kuwat New Zealand Sngapore Sr Lanka
27 27 Comparng the Two Methods C N R N r SDR D = C N R n r IDSR = Contnued
28 Comparng the Two Methods In drect standardzaton, the weghts are constant across study populatons In ndrect standardzaton, the weghts (n ) are nfluenced by the dstrbutons of the study populatons 28
29 Exercse Drect and Indrect Standardzaton Calculate drectly and ndrectly standardzed crude death rates for populatons one and two by usng the standard populaton Populaton1 Populaton2 Standard Pop. Age group Rate Prop. n group Rate Prop. n group Rate Prop. n group ( ) ( r ) ( n/n ) ( r ) ( n/n ) ( R ) ( N/N ) CDR: 30*0.8+15*0.2=27 32*0.3+16*0.7= *0.6+35*0.4=26 You have 15 seconds to calculate the answer.

30 Exercse Answer Drect and Indrect Standardzaton The correct answers are as follows: Drectly standardzed crude death rate: 30*0.6+15*0.4= *0.6+16*0.4=25.6 Indrectly standardzed crude death rate: Populaton 1 Populaton 2 (27/(20*0.8+35*0.2))*26=30.5 (20.8/(20*0.3+35*0.7)*26=

33 Summary Both methods of adjustment are used, but t s preferable to use the drect method (when possble) An adjusted rate has no meanng by tself; t s only used for purpose of comparson The drect and the ndrect methods can lead to dfferent nterpretatons: Be Careful 33
