Issues for causes of death data:

    • Information on some aspects of statistical quality may be hard to obtain as information on the source data has not been kept over time. This is related to the issue of the administrative rather than statistical purpose of the collection of the source data.
    • Changing business rules over time and/or across data sources can affect consistency and hence interpretability of statistical output.
