title: Analysis of underlying and multiple-cause mortality data.
abstract: "A variety of life table models were used for the analysis of the (1984-86) Kuwaiti cause-specific mortality data.  These models comprised total mortality, multiple-decrement, cause-elimination, cause-delay and disease dependency.  The models were illustrated by application to a set of four chronic diseases:  hypertensive, ischaemic heart, cerebrovascular and diabetes mellitus.  The life table methods quantify the relative weights of different diseases as hazards to mortality after adjustment for other causes.  They can also evaluate the extent of dependency between underlying cause of death and other causes mentioned on [the] death certificate using an extended underlying-cause model."
