Brief description
Avoidable mortality (AM) is a simple and practical population-based method ofcounting untimely and unnecessary deaths from diseases for which effective
public health and medical interventions are available. An excess of deaths due
to preventable causes should suggest shortcomings in the healthcare system
that warrant further attention. Five years of data has been aggregated for all
analyses to reduce year-to-year variability in deaths, and the width of
confidence intervals for areas with small populations. Data are presented by
calendar year (1 Jan to 31 Dec), consistent with the release of mortality data
by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
