Cause-specific mortality analysis: Is the underlying cause of death sufficient?

Abstract

Resume L’analyse de la mortalite par cause repose principalement sur l’etude de la cause principale du deces. Notre point de vue est que cette approche n’est pas suffisante. Dans un nombre croissant de pays, toutes les causes reportees par les medecins sur les certificats de deces (ou «causes multiples») sont enregistrees et codees. Ces donnees peuvent etre utilisees de deux facons principales : pour reevaluer le poids d’une cause particuliere dans la mortalite ou pour examiner comment les causes sont associees les unes avec les autres. Dans cet article, nous nous appuyons sur une analyse des causes multiples de deces developpee dans le cadre d’un projet comparatif franco-italien pour evaluer la qualite de ces donnees et pour montrer, tout particulierement dans le contexte du vieillissement demographique, la pertinence de cette approche pour les politiques de sante publique. Summary Cause-specific mortality analysis is based predominantly on examination of the un­derlying cause of death. Our view is that this single-cause approach is not sufficient. With increasing data availability and technical developments in favor of better data quality, the time has come to consider all items of information reported by certifying physicians on death certificates (i. e. the multiple causes). These data can be used in two main ways: either to reassess the role played by a given cause in mortality, or to examine how causes combine with one another. In this paper, we rely on our experience of multiple cause-of-death (MCOD) analysis in the framework of a French-Italian comparative project to provide information on data quality, and to show that, especially in the context of population aging, MCOD analysis is a very relevant tool for public health policy.
