Background The study aims to assess two approaches that apply the empirical
completeness method to generate age-specific mortality statistics from incomplete death …

Introduction Many national and subnational governments need to routinely measure the
completeness of death registration for monitoring and statistical purposes. Existing methods …

Background Estimates of completeness of death registration are crucial to produce
estimates of life tables and population projections and to estimate the burden of disease …

PIP: Regression models using data from 280 populations have been used to develop a
procedure to estimate life expectancy at birth using incomplete vital registration data under …

Background One of the fundamental building blocks for determining the burden of disease in
populations is to reliably measure the level and pattern of mortality by age and sex. Where …

Background The analytical evaluations of the completeness of death registration (DR)
originate from stable population models. In stationary populations, the number of deaths …

Abstract Background In Brazil, both the Civil Registry (CR) and Ministry of Health (MoH)
Mortality Information System (SIM) are sources of routine mortality data, but neither is 100 …

Background: Death registration completeness, the share of deaths captured by countries'
vital registration systems, vary substantially across countries. Estimates of completeness …

BACKGROUND Since the 1950s, many indirect or semi-indirect methods have been
developed to either adjust mortality estimates or generate complete life tables from mortality …
