ABSTRACT
A Poisson regression model was fitted to the
causes of death in Federal Medical Center (FMC), Umuahia. The basic violation
of the model, which is over-dispersion was confirmed absent with use of a plot
ofresidual against fitted values, the Pearson statistics and the comparison
ofthe loglikelihoods of the Poisson regression and Negative Binomial regression
models. The leading causes of death in the hospital were determined to be
diseases affecting the digestive and circulatory system, injuries, endocrine
and neonatal diseases, and cancers. Also, a simple line graph was used to study
the trend ofrecorded deaths in the hospital.-
