A haláloki diagnózisok megbízhatóságának javítása a népegészségügyi hatóság és a Központi Statisztikai Hivatal együttműködésével

Abstract

Cause-specific mortality (and premature cause-specific mortality, years of life lost (YLL) due to a specific illness as well as decreased life expectancy) is a core health indicator which plays a crucial role in health indicator systems for international comparative analyses established and maintained by EUROSTAT, OECD and WHO. The WHO recommendation on death certificates (Medical Certificate of Cause of Death, here in after referred to as death certificate), which are used as a basis for ascertaining the cause of death (COD), i.e. for cause of death data collection, has been widely adopted, however it is not applied uniformly in the world, and verifying the quality of data is a global concern.
