Relevance of Outcomes Implementation of Specific Economic and Social Analyses of Mortality for Modification of Avoidable Mortality Concepts

Summary/Abstract: Health disparities in a country can severely affect the overall health situation of its inhabitants. Many programs of the European Union appeal at reducing these disparities as well as disparities between the individual countries. As a result, mortality is the commonly used as a demographic indicator concerning health, as it provides, coupled with morbidity, an overview of significant factors affecting population health. Our study focuses on studying mortality and avoidable mortality using data provided by relevant health institution in the form of anonymized death certificates to assess the overall health status of the Slovak population and the quality of healthcare available. The main aim of this study is to provide an overview of the current situation concerning mortality in individual regions and the comparison of these results with the relevant international avoidable mortality methodology. Thus we attempt to identify the specifics of the local situation, facilitating a future attempt at formulating a region specific methodology, required to form effective health policies to help eliminate the existing disparities, provide a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of various social programs and activities and enabling relevant international comparisons.
