<p>This table contains the underlying data used to make the map in the paper, "The most distinctive causes of death by state", published in <em>Preventing Chronic Disease</em> on May 14, 2015. It is a comma-separated file containing the following fields: state, cause of death, number of deaths, state age-adjusted death rate, national age-adjusted death rate, relative risk (i.e. ratio of state-to-national rates), lower 95% confidence level around the relative risk, and upper 95% confidence level around the relative risk.</p

Extreme outliers among state-level causes of death, 1999-2013

<p>This table identifies all state-level causes of death that were at least five times the national rate in at least one of the periods 1999-2003, 2004-2008, and 2009-2013. Data are based on the 113 Cause of Death list and are based on the CDC's Underlying Cause of Death file accessible at: http://wonder.cdc.gov/ucd-icd10.html.</p

Data are based on the 113 Cause of Death list and are based on the CDC's Underlying Cause of Death file accessible at: http://wonder.cdc.gov/ucd-icd10.html.</p
