本研究报告了利用自1966年以来在孟加拉国Matlab运行的人口监测系统（DSS）的数据对测量孕产妇死亡率水平的姐妹法进行验证测试的结果。使用了1976- 1990年期间在Matlab DSS地区发生的孕产妇死亡记录。被问及已故妇女的一名幸存的兄弟或姐妹，年龄在15岁或以上，由同一母亲所生，死者的姐妹是否死于与生育有关的原因。在接受采访的384例孕产妇死亡中，正确报告了305例，少报了16例，其余63例被误报为非孕产妇死亡。在Matlab DSS地区进行的姐妹调查中获得的孕产妇相关死亡信息与DSS中记录的信息进行了比较。结果表明，在类似Matlab的地方，如果没有其他数据存在，姐妹法可以用来提供产妇死亡率水平的指示，尽管该方法会在产妇死亡率估计中产生负偏倚。
This study reports the results of a test of validation of the sisterhood method of measuring the level of maternal mortality using data from a Demographic Surveillance System (DSS) operating since 1966 in Matlab, Bangladesh. The records of maternal deaths that occurred during 1976-90 in the Matlab DSS area were used. One of the deceased woman's surviving brothers or sisters, aged 15 or older and born to the same mother, was asked if the deceased sister had died of maternity-related causes. Of the 384 maternal deaths for which siblings were interviewed, 305 deaths were correctly reported, 16 deaths were underreported, and the remaining 63 were misreported as nonmaternal deaths. Information on maternity-related deaths obtained in a sisterhood survey conducted in the Matlab DSS area was compared with the information recorded in the DSS. Results suggest that in places similar to Matlab, the sisterhood method can be used to provide an indication of the level of maternal mortality if no other data exist, though the method will produce negative bias in maternal mortality estimates.
