Notes:

Cancer of the cervix (ICD-9 1801) in Scotland: numbers of new cases registered, numbers of cases registered from hospital records2, numbers of deaths up to 31 December 1990 and one and three year survival rates3 by age and year treatment commenced.

1 International Classification of Diseases Ninth Revision—Code 180.

2 Most registrations are made on the basis of medical records or pathology reports. Selecting cases registered from hospital records excludes a small number of cases notified to the registration system only at the time of death. Most of the such cases will be of persons, usually elderly, who were not treated.

3 The survival rates were calculated using the 'life table' method and represent the proportions of survivors at the first and third anniversary of the date treatment commenced.
