Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Metadata: Emergency Department (ED) Visits

Origin:

ED visit data are from the Maine Health Data Organization (MHDO). Population data are from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Dates Available:

2001 – 2014, 2016, 2017

Geographic Resolution:

State, Public Health District, County, Town

Abstract:

The Maine EPHT program receives ED data annually, based on discharge date, from MHDO. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) ED visits among Maine residents are analyzed, stratified by geographic resolution, age-group, and sex.

The dataset contains the following measures:

Carbon Monoxide Metadata: Mortality

Origin:

Mortality and population data are from Maine’s Office of Data, Research and Vital Statistics (ODRVS).

Dates Available:

2000-2020

Geographic Resolution:

State

Abstract:

The Maine EPHT program receives mortality data from Maine’s ODRVS. Unintentional and non-fire related carbon monoxide (CO) deaths among Maine residents are analyzed in order to assess trends over time.

The dataset contains the following measures:

Carbon Monoxide Metadata: Detectors

Origin:

Carbon monoxide (CO) detector data are from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).

Dates Available:

2011-2013, 2015-2016, 2018

Geographic Resolution:

State, Public Health District, County

Abstract:

This data set contains information on Maine adults who live in homes with one or more CO detectors. Data are stratified by geographic location and housing type (i.e. rent, own). Detector prevalence data are derived from the BRFSS survey of Maine residents.

Cancer Metadata: All Measures

Origin:

Cancer case data are from the Maine Cancer Registry, Maine CDC. Population data are from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Dates Available:

2000 - 2018

Geographic Resolution:

State, County

Abstract:

The Maine EPHT program receives cancer data annually from the Maine Cancer Registry. Adult and childhood cancer rates among Maine residents are analyzed, stratified by year, geographic resolution, gender and sex, when appropriate.

The dataset contains rates, age-adjusted rates, and numbers for the following cancers:

Birth Outcome Metadata: Mortality

Origin:

Linked birth and death certificate data are used to calculate mortality (infant, neonatal, perinatal, and post neonatal) measures. Linked birth and death certificate data are from the Maine CDC, Office of Data, Research, and Vital Statistics (ODRVS).

Dates Available:

2000 – 2019

Geographic Resolution:

State, Public Health District, County

Birth Outcome Metadata: Total Fertility

Origin:

Birth certificate data and population data are used to calculate fertility measures. Birth certificate data are from the Maine CDC, Office of Data, Research, and Vital Statistics (ODRVS). Population data are from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Dates Available:

2000 – 2019

Geographic Resolution:

State, Public Health District, County

Abstract:

The Maine EPHT program receives birth certificate data annually from ODRVS. The total fertility rate among Maine residents is analyzed, stratified by year and geographic resolution.
