Sammanfattning
31 Basic Tabulation List categories from the Swedish national cause-of-death register for 1970-1988 were studied. The coders' tendency to register a condition as the underlying cause of death (the underlying cause ratio) was estimated by dividing the occurrence of the condition as underlying cause (the underlying cause rate) with the total registration of the condition (the multiple cause rate).
