Mortality Data

Collecting and harmonising a large amount of cause-specific mortality data is essential for the successful implementation of the project. Data availability varies greatly from country to country. Our intention is to gather as detailed as possible information on causes of death and obtain data for the longest possible time periods. We aim at collecting official annual data on death counts by sex, age, cause and region (NUTS-2, NUTS-3 and LAU) and the corresponding population exposures since 1990 onwards.

In order to make cause-specific mortality comparable across time and space, we have to deal with several methodological issues, such as bridging different ICD classifications, redistributing ill-defined causes and dealing with statistical discontinuities in mortality trends due to coding practices.

Here is an overview of the data we have collected so far from national national data sources:
