Infant Mortality Suppression Table
How to read this table:
The first table shows how the suppression
rules are used to identify the data elements that
are at the same level or at a lower level than a test
value. The second table lists the meanings of the
abbreviations used.
If the element in the left column
is a suppressed value (-999) then all the cells containing
an X that are in the same row will be suppressed.
The cells containing an X are at the same level or
at a lower level as the test value (the left hand
data element).
