Microcomputer method to extract subfiles from statewide multiple cause of death files.

Abstract:

:A simple microcomputer system has been developed using off-the-shelf components. The system permits local access, in an acceptable time frame, to several years of New Jersey multiple cause of death data (approximately 70,000 records per calendar year). This report describes the system, including hardware, software, data storage space requirements, speed of data access, and the effect of abbreviating the list of diagnoses. Prospects for extension of such a system to larger data bases are discussed.
