All information on the health establishments of the Czech Republic and the health state of the population is collected, except figures on incapacity for work due to injury or disease, in an exhaustive manner by the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of Czech Republic(IHIS CR), via departmental statistical survey and with the help of obligatory reports from the health establishments.
Average percentage of incapacity for work is calculated from the calendar days of incapacity for work due to injury or disease divided by the average number of the health insured, multiplied by the number of calendar days in a year.
Average number of the sickness insured - the indicator shows the average number of persons who are sickness insured according to the Sickness Insurance of Employed Persons Act 54/56 as last amended.
Excluded from this statutory insurance are regular members of the armed forces, foreign nationals (not residing on the territory of the Czech republic), employees working in the Czech Republic for an employer not based (having no seat) in the Czech Republic, and employees with occasional jobs only. The average number of the sickness insured does not include women on maternity leave and temporary members of the armed forces.
Cases of incapacity for work - refer to newly notified cases of incapacity for work due to injury or disease.
Calendar days of incapacity for work - the number of calendar days on which employees insured for sickness were incapable to work (based on reported beginning and end of the incapacity)
Deaths: analysed by cause - On 1 January 1994 the 10th decennial revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10), formerly the International Classification of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of death (ICDICD), was put into use in the CR by Act 278/1992 of the Czech National Council. The organization responsible for its use in practice is the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the CR. Unlike its 9th revision, the ICD-10 uses a four-character alphanumerical code consisting of one letter and three digits. However, a three-character alpha numerical code is employed for basic statistical treatment. The range of the causes of dead has been considerably expanded, and the names and the order of cause of death have been changed, too. There is no full comparability between ICD-9 and ICD-10.
