The population for 2011 is from the U.S. Census Bureau, City and Town Population
Estimates by Age, Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin for July 1, 2011 released June 2012. This

http://www.census.gov/popest/data/cities/totals/2011/files/SUB-EST2011_4.csv.

The population estimates used in this report for 2007-2009 are from the U.S. Census and based
on the Census 2000 and Census 2010 population. Previous reports used population estimates
based only on the Census 2000 population. The population for a community, such as Maricopa
County, changes as a result of births, deaths, and migration (moving into or out of the location).
Although it is relatively easy to measure the change in population due to births and deaths, it is
more difficult to measure the change due to migration. Due to this difficulty, previous reports used
an overestimation of the population. Many of the rates shown use population estimates as the
denominator (e.g., 50 cases of disease for every 100,000 people). Therefore, a rate that uses an
overestimated population will make the disease burden appear smaller than it truly is and vice
versa. If comparing the rates reported in this report to the rates reported in earlier reports, they
may see an increase in the rates for each year. Rates reported in this report are more reliable
than rates reported in previous reports for 2007 through 2009.
The intercensal population estimates for 2007-2009 were revised in October 2012 from the
originally published numbers in September 2011. The overall total populations for each year
were not revised, rather the population totals for specific demographical groups were revised.
Therefore, the population numbers published in the 2001-2010 Ten Year Health Trends are
different from the population numbers published in this report. The total population rates for
2007-2009 did not change.
This report defines “Hispanic” as all respondents listing Hispanic, either alone or in combination
with any race. The Hispanic and American Indian categories in this report are slightly different

Maricopa County Health Status Report 2007 – 2011

Page 43

from previous Maricopa County Health Status Reports. Previously, American Indians who
identified their origin as either Hispanic or non-Hispanic were counted as American Indians. In
this report, only American Indians who identified their origin as non-Hispanic were placed in the
American Indian category. Hence, all individuals whose origin was Hispanic, regardless of race,
were placed in the Hispanic group. In order to allow comparisons across years, the same method
was used for all years (2007-2011) in this report. The table below shows how the U.S. Census
variables of “origin” and “race” are used for categorization in this report.

Census data is used to calculate rates for mortality, morbidity, and hospital discharge data. Any
crude rate can be calculated by taking the number of events from any table in this report (for
mortality, morbidity and hospital discharge) and dividing it by the appropriate age, gender,
race/ethnicity, or total population denominator found in Tables 1.01 through 1.10. In tables where
rates are shown, “0” means there were no cases in that category. However, when the number
“0.0” is shown, it means that there were fewer than .05 deaths per 100,000 residents. Only a
couple conditions, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in the mortality tables and Strep Group
B in the morbidity tables are calculated differently. By definition, SIDS deaths and Strep Group B
cases only occur in infants; as a result, these numbers are divided by the number of live births
(rather than the standard 100,000 residents) to produce a rate per 1,000 live births.
For both mortality and morbidity (communicable disease), rates for some racial/ethnic populations
such as American Indians, Asians, and African Americans are high compared to other groups.
Because these groups have relatively small populations in Maricopa County (under 150,000
residents as shown in Tables 1.01 through 1.10), these high rates may represent very few
deaths/cases. Among small populations, rates are less stable so one case or death can cause a
big increase or decrease in the rates. Therefore, it is advisable to examine the actual number of
cases or deaths in addition to the rates.
Tables 2.05b, 2.09b, 2.14b, and 2.15b do not provide a rate for the category labeled
“Other/Unknown Race/Ethnicity.” Since the U.S. Census Bureau does not report data on people
of ‘Other/Unknown Race/Ethnicity,’ there is no denominator to use for calculating the rate.
Mortality (Death) Statistics
Mortality (death) statistics are shown in Tables 2.01a through 2.03b.
All data on mortality statistics are from death certificates included in the Arizona Department of
Health Services (ADHS) final annual files. The data presented in this report include Maricopa
County residents only. This includes Maricopa County residents who died in Maricopa County
and residents who died elsewhere. Non-Maricopa County residents who died in Maricopa County
are not included.

Maricopa County Health Status Report 2007 – 2011

Page 44

During the course of routine data review, several deaths each year were identified as being in
one county even though their city and ZIP codes indicated that they lived in a different county. For
these discrepant cases, final classification in this report was based on the address of the
resident. (The address is determined by reviewing the street address, city, county, and ZIP
code). One death in 2010 was voided and 3 infant deaths in 2011 were found to be fetal deaths
and deleted. Therefore, the numbers presented in this report may not precisely match those
presented by ADHS in other reports.
In Table 2.01a, deaths due to unintentional injury can be found by adding two categories – “motor
vehicle collisions” and “all other accidents and adverse effects.” The total for unintentional
injuries in this report is higher than the figure reported by ADHS because deaths from
“complications of medical and surgical care” are included in this report. This convention follows
the national model for classifying unintentional injuries. “Complications of medical and surgical
care” include deaths from medical devices, adverse effects related to correct doses of therapeutic
medications, and misadventures to patients during surgical or medical care (ICD-10 Y40-Y84,
Y88). Table 2.02a presents the number of deaths by year meeting the criteria for ‘complications
of medical and surgical care.’
Tables 2.01a through 2.02b show sharp changes in the number and rates of deaths attributed to
unintentional falls, unintentional poisonings, and motor vehicle accidents. These sharp changes
have resulted in a shift in the order of leading causes of accidental deaths. Historically, motor
vehicle accidents have been the most common, but in 2008 it dropped to the third highest rank for
Maricopa County residents. These changes may be artifacts of the mortality specification and
coding systems and not real changes in the actual incidence of these events or they may be due
to changes in the incidence of these events. This decrease in motor vehicle accidents is being
seen nationwide. Causes of death due to external events, as opposed to those intrinsically
related to disease processes, are subject to many sources of variability:




th

Causes of deaths may be translated into International Classification of Diseases, 10
Revision (ICD-1) codes by different method, i.e., electronically or manually
The medical examiners’ specification of the sequence of the causes of death may change
from year to year in systematic, non-random ways
Changes in NCHS rules regarding the manner, or intentionality, of death may have
caused misclassification of intentional injuries, such as suicides, as unintentional, or
accidental injuries

Further investigation into the reasons for these changes for the other causes of death is ongoing.
Unless otherwise noted, all deaths are attributed to one underlying condition, based on death
certificate information, using the rules of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth
Revision (ICD-10). Causes of death are classified by ICD-10 codes. The codes used for each
category are listed in Table 3.2 below.

Only the underlying cause of death is used for classification in this report. Although other causes
may have contributed to death, the underlying cause of death is the cause that began the disease
process that resulted in death. The underlying causes of death chosen for this report are based
on the 113 selected causes of death reported by NCHS in their annual report. Due to an increase
in the number of deaths due to Clostridium difficile, NCHS has also added this cause of death to
their 113 selected causes of death. A few additional causes of death, like coccidioidomycosis,
have been selected due to their importance in Arizona.
Tables 2.03a and 2.03b show deaths resulting directly (induced) and indirectly (related) from
firearms, drugs, and alcohol. Drugs include prescription medications and illegal substances,
regardless of whether use was recreational or medicinal. Tobacco is considered a drug by
NCHS. Drug-related deaths are listed both with and without tobacco-related deaths, because
tobacco is not often considered to be a drug in the colloquial sense.
Induced deaths refer to cases in which the use of a firearm, drug, or alcohol contributed directly to
the cause of death, i.e., death due to an overdose of drugs, or a fatal gunshot injury. Related
deaths refer to cases in which the use of a drug or alcohol was listed on the death certificate, but
the substance was not necessarily involved in the underlying cause of death, i.e., death due to
dehydration resulting from environmental exposure, with chronic drug use noted elsewhere on the
certificate.
Firearm, drug, and alcohol induced deaths are also included in a number of other categories,
such as suicide, homicide, unintentional injury, etc. For example, a firearm induced death may
also be classified as a suicide, homicide, or “other accident or adverse effect.” An alcohol
induced death may be attributed to a long or short term effect of alcohol, such as acute alcohol
intoxication or alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
In 2010, the Arizona Department of Health Service Office of Vitals Records modified the death
certificate to meet the recommendations of the 2003 Standard developed by the National Center
for Health Statistics. Two of the changes directly impacted the data presented in this report,
deaths due to pregnancy and deaths involving tobacco. Each of these changes will be discussed
further below.
The tobacco use question asks if the cause of death is related to tobacco use. The certifier can
select “Yes,” “No,” “Probably,” or “Unknown.” If either “Yes” or “Probably” is selected, the death
will then have an ICD-10 code for tobacco. This new question caused a sharp increase in the
number of deaths that are drug-related including tobacco. This increase is not necessarily due to
more deaths being related to tobacco use, but rather by a change in identifying deaths due to
tobacco use.
The pregnancy status question asks the certifier to select if the female decedent was “Pregnant at
time of death,” “Not pregnant but pregnant within 42 days of death,” “Not pregnant but pregnant
43 days to 1 year before death,” or not pregnant. The certifier can also select “Unknown.” In
2010, there was an increase in the number of deaths to women due to pregnancy. The increase
is not necessarily due to more pregnancy-related deaths, but rather by a change in identifying
deaths of women who were pregnant in the last year prior to death.

Communicable Disease (Morbidity) Statistics
Communicable disease statistics are shown in Tables 2.04a through 2.06.
The data presented in this report include communicable diseases to residents of Maricopa
County. This includes Maricopa County residents who acquired a disease in Maricopa County
and residents who acquired a disease elsewhere. Non-Maricopa County residents are not
included, even if they acquired a disease in Maricopa County. Other reports or press releases
may show different morbidity rates because they include non-residents who acquired disease in
Maricopa County or they exclude residents who were exposed outside of the county. For
Hansen’s disease only, tables include residents from various counties in Arizona, regardless of
where the disease was acquired.
All data on communicable diseases are new cases for each specific year from the ADHS final
annual data files. There are several exceptions: data on genital herpes, gonorrhea, Chlamydia,
syphilis, and Hansen’s disease are from MCDPH data files.
Data on tuberculosis, STDs, HIV, and AIDS may differ from other reports published by MCDPH
and ADHS. Data on these diseases are in databases that may have been updated during the
time between reports.
Communicable disease data include only confirmed and probable cases, with the exception of:
norovirus, RSV, Hansen’s disease, tuberculosis, genital herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia,
and HIV/AIDS. Data for norovirus, RSV, tuberculosis, genital herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis,
chlamydia, and HIV/AIDS includes only confirmed cases. Data for Hansen’s disease includes all
confirmed, suspect, and probable cases diagnosed in Maricopa County, including diagnoses to
non-county residents, as mentioned earlier.
Primary and secondary syphilis are shown as “Syphilis-Prim. and Sec.” The “Syphilis - All others”
category includes latent and congenital syphilis. These two categories can be added to
determine the total number of syphilis cases. Congenital syphilis details may be found in Tables
2.05a and 2.05b.
All communicable disease statistics in this report are new cases for each specified year
(incidence). The only exception is Hansen’s disease for which the prevalence (all existing cases
from all years) is shown. The figures presented for Hansen’s disease differ from previous years
due to the addition of several cases diagnosed in previous years but only recently available.
Data can be classified by date of onset, date of diagnosis or date of report to the health
department. All diseases/conditions listed in this report are classified by the date of report to the
health department. The only exceptions are HIV, AIDS, and Hansen’s disease which are
classified by the date of diagnosis.
The category “Encephalitis Viral” includes St. Louis encephalitis and all other types of viral
encephalitis except for West Nile virus. This may differ somewhat from other reports that include
only certain types of encephalitides.
Comparison of hepatitis B cases from 2007-2011 to previous years will show a decrease in the
total number of cases. This decrease is most likely due to changes in the investigation of the
disease and not due to a change in the communicability of the disease in Maricopa County.
A sharp decrease in the number of reported cases of genital herpes occurred in 2009. A review
of the cases indicated a large decrease in the number of laboratory reported cases. Although no
explanation for this decrease has been identified, it is not believed to be due to an actual
decrease in the incidence of disease in the community.

In Tables 2.04a and 2.04b, the category labeled “All Others” includes all reportable diseases in
the ADHS communicable disease database that are not listed previously on the table.
Beginning in April 2008, two diseases were added to the list of diseases that medical providers
and laboratories must report: norovirus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). No counts exist for
years earlier than 2008. Counts for RSV are much lower in 2008 because the number of RSV
cases usually peak around January or February and reporting did not begin until April which was
after the peak.

Natality (Birth) Statistics
Natality (birth) statistics are shown in Tables 2.07a through 2.08.
All data on natality are from the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) final annual files.
The data presented in this report are from birth certificates where the mother’s county of
residence is Maricopa County. This includes births that did not occur in Maricopa County.
National Center for Health Statistics rules state that if a birth does not occur in the state of
residency and the county and city are unknown, the city of residency is assigned to the largest
city in the state of residency. For Arizona, the largest city is Phoenix. Therefore, some births that
occurred outside of Arizona are included in Maricopa County’s final year end statistics even
though the county and city of residence are unknown. For further explanation, please see
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/3amanual.pdf.
During the course of routine data review, several births were identified as being in one county
even though their city and ZIP codes indicated that they lived in a different county. For these
discrepant cases, final classification in this report was based on the address of the resident. (The
address is determined by reviewing the street address, city, county, and ZIP code). Therefore,
the numbers presented in this report may not precisely match those presented by ADHS in other
reports.

Adequate prenatal care is based on the Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization Index (APCUI) .
This index considers both the timing of prenatal care initiation and the number of visits after care
was initiated, comparing the number of actual visits to the number of visits recommended by the
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. This index does not describe the quality of
the care or adjust for maternal risk factors. Only singleton births (the birth of one baby rather than
twins, triplets or other multiple births) are shown in these tables because twins and higher order
births are typically higher risk pregnancies, and the index is not appropriate for summarizing their
prenatal care usage.
a) Inadequate: Prenatal care began after the fourth month of pregnancy or less than
50% of the expected prenatal care visits were attended
b) Intermediate: Prenatal care began before the fourth month and 50 to 70% of the
expected visits were attended
c) Adequate: Prenatal care began prior to the fourth month and 80-109% of expected
visits were attended
d) Adequate plus: Prenatal care began prior to the fourth month of pregnancy and 110%
or more of the expected visits were attended
Infants transferred from Banner Good Samaritan Hospital to Phoenix Children’s Hospital have not
been counted as transfers since the two hospitals share facilities, with Phoenix Children’s
Hospital providing Neonatal Intensive Care services to infants born at Banner Good Samaritan.

Infant Mortality Statistics
Infant mortality statistics are shown in Tables 2.09a through 2.15b.
Infant mortality statistics shown in this report are from linked and unlinked data as indicated in
each table. An explanation of linked and unlinked data is presented below.
The infant mortality rates for older and younger maternal age groups (under 15 and over 45) may
be high compared to other groups. These groups have relatively small populations in Maricopa
County. Although rates may be high, they may represent only one or two cases in a given
category. Therefore, it is advisable to check the raw numbers.

The following definitions related to reproductive health have been established by NCHS :

2
3



Birth or Live Birth – The complete expulsion or extraction from the mother of a product of
human conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy or birthweight which, after
such expulsion or extraction, breathes or shows any other evidence of life such as
beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord or definite movement of voluntary
muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached.



Fertility Rate – Number of live births during a calendar year per 1,000 women age 15 to
44.



Births to Teenage Mothers − Live births occurring to females under age twenty.



Birth Weight – The weight of a neonate determined immediately after delivery or as soon
thereafter as possible.



Low Birthweight – Any neonate weighing less than 2,500 grams at birth (less than 5
pounds, 8 ounces).



Very Low Birthweight – Any neonate weighing less than 1,500 grams at births (less than
3 pounds, 4 ounces).



Preterm – Any neonate whose birth occurs through the end of the last day of the 37
th
week (259 day), following onset of the last menstrual period.



Infant Death – Any death at any time from birth up to, but not including, the first year of
age (<365 days).



Infant Mortality Rate – Number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births.



Neonatal Mortality Rate – Number of deaths to infants at or under 28 days of age, per
1,000 live births.



Postnatal (Postneonatal) Mortality Rate – Number of deaths to infants between 29 days
and 365 days after birth, per 1,000 live births.



Unlinked Infant Mortality – The number of infant deaths in a given calendar year, as
determined from mortality records.



Linked Infant Mortality – Whenever possible, infant death certificate data are linked to
birth certificate information to determine parental, demographic and birth data. Not all
infant deaths can be linked (up to 3% are lost to follow-up). In this report, MCDPH

3

NCHS guidelines were adopted from those established by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The Arizona statute defining a live birth follows this definition.

th

created a linked death cohort such that one calendar year of infant death data linked
back to the birth data from the current or prior calendar year.
Hospital Discharge Statistics
Hospital Discharge statistics are shown in Tables 2.16a through 2.17b.
Hospital Discharge Data (HDD) is submitted by Arizona Hospitals to Arizona Department of
Health Services (ADHS). Data is submitted by half years, with the first half (January 1 – June 30)
is due August 15 of the same year and the second half (July 1 – December 31) is due by
th
February 15 of the following year. ADHS then prepares the data for public release and the data
are released between 3 and 6 months after collection. This dataset only contains hospitalizations
from facilities within the state of Arizona. Hospitalizations of Maricopa Residents that occur
outside of Arizona are not captured.
HDD provides an address for each patient but does not include information about the county of
residence. In order to select Maricopa County Residents, an algorithm was derived to determine
residence based on city, state, and ZIP code. The list of cities and ZIP codes within Maricopa
County are based on a national ZIP code database that is updated regularly with new ZIP codes
and cities (U.S. ZIP code Database – Business version from: http://www.zip-codes.com/zip-codedatabase.asp). The algorithm is available by contacting the Office of Epidemiology by email at
epidemiology@mail.maricopa.gov.
All federal, state, military, and Department of Veteran Affairs’ hospitals are excluded. No
behavioral health hospitals reported data during this time period. Long-term acute care (LTAC)
and rehabilitation hospitals are excluded from this report because patients in these settings are
usually transferred from another facility to the LTAC or rehabilitation hospital and have an
average stay of 25 days or longer.
The data reported in this report includes hospital discharge data from 2007-2011. Data from
earlier years were unavailable.
Hospitalization Discharges represent the number of discharges from facilities within Arizona
during a calendar year and are not unique patients. Therefore, if a person is hospitalized multiple
times in a calendar year, that person will be represented multiple times in the dataset.
Additionally, there is the probability that one patient may have two or more billing discharges for
the same hospital encounter as a result of transfers between facilities and/or transfers between
units of the same facility.
In HDD, ICD-9-CM codes are used to identify the reasons for hospitalization. These codes are
then grouped into categories for analysis. For this report, only the primary diagnosis codes are
analyzed. Records without a primary diagnosis code or with an unknown code are classified as
unknown.
