Note: https://www.census.gov/topics/employment/industry-occupation/guidance/code-lists.html. PMR: Multiple Cause-of-Death data for the total number of decedents with any mention of any of the following respiratory conditions coded on the entity axis: Silicosis (ICD-10 code J62.8) for all PMRs greater than 1 for Industries with five or more reported deaths, All Races (combined) and Both Genders (combined), by State of Residence for all Selected States, Ages 15 and Older, 1999, 2003, 2004, and 2007–2014. Selected states include: Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval: NAICS, North American Industry Classification System; PMR, Proportionate Mortality Ratio.

^aRecords of all deaths in the United States (approximately two million annually) that are reported to state vital statistics offices. Each death record includes codes for up to 20 conditions derived from the “Cause of Death” section of the death certificate form, from the entity axis, which preserves diagnostic detail for all listed conditions and their placement on the death certificate: For additional information concerning multiple cause-of-death, see https://wonder.cdc.gov/wonder/sci_data/mort/mcmort/mcmort.asp. Please note that record axis data are not included in NOMS.

^bPMR was defined as the observed number of deaths with silicosis in a specified industry/occupation, divided by the expected number of deaths with silicosis. The expected number of deaths was the total number of deaths in industry or occupation of interest multiplied by a proportion defined as the number of silicosis deaths in all industries and/or occupations, divided by the total number of deaths in all industries/occupations. The silicosis PMRs were internally adjusted by 5-year age groups, sex, and race.
