The following statistics are based on the underlying cause of death as coded by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for deaths registered during 2003 in WA:
(a) Identification of deaths due to this cause is not possible with the single underlying cause of death code. Further analysis by additional causes of death found no deaths due to this cause.
(b) There was 1 death with this underlying cause of death registered with the place of death recorded as a public hospital.
(c) There were 12 deaths with this underlying cause of death registered with the place of death recorded as a public hospital.
(d) There were no deaths recorded with this underlying cause.
(e) There were no deaths recorded with this underlying cause.
(f) Identification of deaths of this nature was not possible from the coding system used by the ABS to code the underlying cause of death.
(g) Identification of deaths of this nature was not possible from the coding system used by the ABS to code the underlying cause of death.
