What Challenges Exist in Mortality Data Collection?
Collecting accurate mortality data can be challenging due to:
- Incomplete Reporting: Not all deaths are reported or recorded with complete information, leading to underestimation of mortality rates. - Misclassification: Causes of death may be misclassified, either due to diagnostic errors or differences in classification systems. - Data Quality: Variability in data quality across regions and countries can affect the reliability of mortality estimates. - Timeliness: Delays in data reporting can hinder timely analysis and response.
