A Statistical Analysis of Death Rate in Imo State from 2018 - 2021 (A Case Study of Federal Medical Centre Owerri)

A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF DEATH RATE IN IMO STATE FROM 2018 - 2021


ABSTRACT

The study was carried out to statistically analyze the Death Rate occurrence in Imo State from 2018 - 2021 using Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Owerri as a case study. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to, determine the death rate for the various years of study (2018 - 2021) and the number of deaths occurring within the years of study and determine which of the age group is mostly affected by death. Investigation revealed that in our society today, the number of deaths is in the increase every year. The death seems to affect and reduce the number of population of the society in an alarming rate. Different age group also suffers the dangers of losing most of its people to the cold hand of death, through diseases, child birth, and accident. The research design used in this report is descriptive design, utilizing questionnaire method to obtain information from the respondents for this project. A total of 80 (eighty) respondents were selected for this study to represent the entire population of the study. For null hypotheses were formulated and tested using the one-way ANOVA and the t-test statistical tools at zero point zero five (0.05) level of significance. Primary data were collected from the primary source which questionnaire was used as an instrument of data collection while secondary data were sources from textbooks, journals, newspapers and the internet were employed. The data were presented on a frequency distribution table and analyzed using simple percentage, while hypothesis was tested using chi-square test. This research work is carried out to find out the various causes of death in the society that is being recorded by the Federal Medical Centre Owerri is the factors that causes more death, than the other and also the age group that has the highest number of death. The study will help to highlight the number of patients that died of various diseases from 2018 - 2021 which enable the government to fight against the effect of disease in the next years.


CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

Death is one of the vital events recorded in a Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) System and its documentation is the basis for the legal approval for the burial or other disposal of deceased individuals (Unstats, 2001; Adedini et al., 2011). Other benefits of death registration include: veritable source of data for epidemiological investigations, recovery of inheritance and insurance claims, to substantiate an assertion of death and to avoid problems with law enforcement agents in case of need for conveyance of a corpse (WHO, 2014). Inadequate documentation and certification of death by natural causes may delay timely public health interventions such as in situations where death arises from an evolving disease outbreak. Furthermore, underreporting of death from unnatural causes may result in delay or denial of justice.

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Research hypothesis and questions, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.


1.2 Background of Study

Research had showed that death could occur to any one no matter the age factor at what is important is that certain death escaped being unregistered, but his research focuses on those death that were recorded in the Federal Medical Centres. Death registration has not been taken serious in our country, this give the researcher concern and a curiously to work on statistical analysis of death rate.

The death of a woman during pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the site and duration of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes is termed maternal death. Maternal death may be classified as maternal mortality or maternal morbidity depending on the time frame death occurred. Maternal mortality refers to deaths due to complications from pregnancy or childbirth.

World Health Organization (WHO) (2016) defined maternal mortality as death of either a pregnant woman or death of a woman within 42 days of delivery, miscarriage, termination or ectopic pregnancy providing the death is associated with pregnancy or its treatment. On the other hand, maternal morbidity refers to the period immediately after child birth. The range of things that can go wrong during the puerperal (which by convention covers the first six weeks after childbirth or abortion) is very wide. Some disorders during this period are the result of complications that occur only during pregnancy and childbirth.

The risk of maternal mortality is highest for adolescent girls under 15 years, complications in pregnancy and childbirth is a leading cause of death among adolescent girls in developing countries (Patton et al., 2009). Women in developing countries have, on average more pregnancies than women in developed countries, and therefore their lifetime risk of death due to pregnancy is higher. Lifetime risk of a woman who will undergo maternal death the probability that a 15 year old woman will eventually die from a maternal cause is 1 in 4900 in developed countries, compared to 1 in 180 in developing countries. In countries designated as fragile states, the risk is 1 in 54; showing the consequences from breakdowns in health systems (Conde-Agudelo et al., 2004).

Therefore, in Imo State where the research was carried out, the activities that was conducted is to carry out a Statistical Analysis of Death Rate in Imo State from 2018 - 2021 using Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Owerri as a case study.


1.3 Statement of Problems

Investigation revealed that in our society today, the number of deaths is in the increase every year. The death seems to affect and reduce the number of population of the society in an alarming rate. Different age group also suffers the dangers of losing most of its people to the cold hand of death, through diseases, child birth, and accident.

The research is being carried out to know the age groups that experience the highest number of death in the year under study. The research will help to know if there is any relationship between the death in male and female.

Finally, the research will try to find out the effort the government is making towards the reduction of death s rate in the society under investigation and the trend of death in the society.


1.4 Aim and Objectives of Study

The aim of the study is to carry out a Statistical Analysis of Death Rate in Imo State from 2018 - 2021 using Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Owerri as a case study. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows:

  1. To determine the death rate for the various years of study (2018 - 2021) and the number of deaths occurring within the years of study;
  2. To investigate the causes of increased death in the area under study;
  3. To determine which of the age group is mostly affected by death;
  4. To know with the number of death according to diseases that occurred between 2018 - 2021; and
  5. To determine the number of woman that died as a result of pregnancy. This will help the government to fight against such in the future.

1.5 Research Questions

The study came up with research questions so as to be able to ascertain the above stated objectives. The specific research questions for the study are stated below as follows:

  • What is the death rate for the various years of study (2018 - 2021) and the number of deaths occurring within the years of study?
