| Sumario: | The EPIGRAM computer program was designed to improve the analysis of mortality data. Public health workers often lack the ability or authorization to access available data on mortality. EPIGRAM is a fast, efficient, user-friendly program that can run under DOS or UNIX without modification. It calculates results for population, deaths, death rate, age-adjusted death rate, years of potential life lost (YPLL), YPLL rate, and confidence intervals and can compare these data among the parameters of age groups, counties, causes of death, races, regions, and years. EPIGRAM is currently being used to analyze mortality and population data in Texas.
