    Hi to everybody an SMR of 2.74 in a province indicates a 174% increased risk. IS IT CORRECT isn'it? thanks a million in advance

    Yes, that's correct. An SMR of 2.74 means that the observed mortality rate is 2.74 times as large as the rate would be if the age (or age-sex, or whatever variables were standardized on) specific mortality rates of the standard population prevailed in the province in question. 2.74 times as large = 274% as large = 174% larger.
