Accuracy and completeness of mortality data in the Department of Veterans Affairs

Puntos clave

Los puntos clave no están disponibles para este artículo en este momento.

Resumen

The BIRLS Death File is not an adequate source of mortality data for the VA population due to incompleteness. When the four sources of mortality data are carefully combined, the resulting dataset can provide more timely data for death ascertainment than the National Death Index and has comparable accuracy and completeness.
