Cause of Admission

Number of admits

Proportional Case Ratio (%)

Cause Specific Rate per 100,000

Accidents and adverse effects

26,526

(26,526/116,424)*100

= 22.9 %

(26,526/82,438,000)*100,1000

= 32.176

Malignant Neoplasms

22,228

(22,228/116,424)*100

= 19.09 %

(22,228/82,438,000)*100,000

= 26.96

HIV Infection

22,746

(22,746/116,424)*100

= 19.54 %

(22,746/82,438,000)*100,000

= 27.59

Diseases of the Heart

15,822

(15,822/116,424)*100

= 13.59 %

(15,822/82,438,000)*100,000

= 19.19

Homicide and legal Intervention

12,372

(12,372 /116,424)*100

= 10.63 %

(12,372 /82,438,000)*100,000

= 15.007

Suicide

12,281

(12,281/116,424)*100

= 10.55 %

(12,281/82,438,000)*100,000

= 14.89

Chronic Liver Disease

4,449

(4,449 /116,424)*100

= 3.82 %

(4,449 /82,438,000)*100,000

= 5.39
