为了评估社会保障管理局和国家死亡指数作为死亡率数据来源的相对效用，从这些来源确定了多风险因素干预试验中12,866名参与者的生命状况，并与已知的死亡经验进行了比较。SSA正确识别了1974年至1980年间发生的409例死亡病例中的87.8%。SSA低报死亡的情况发生在具有某些人口统计特征的参与者身上，特别是婚姻状况。在1979年和1980年，也就是SSA和NDI拥有可比数据的时期，SSA正确识别出191例已知死亡病例中的93.2%，NDI正确识别出98.4%。NDI匹配过程导致大量误报匹配。
To evaluate the relative utility of the Social Security Administration and National Death Index as sources of mortality data, the vital status of 12,866 participants in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial was identified from these sources and compared to the known mortality experience. The SSA correctly identified 87.8% the 409 deaths that occurred between 1974 and 1980. Underreporting of deaths by the SSA occurred for participants with certain demographic characteristics, especially marital status. For the years 1979 and 1980, the period for which the SSA and NDI have comparable data, the SSA correctly identified 93.2% and the NDI correctly identified 98.4% of the 191 known deaths. The NDI matching process resulted in a large number of false positive matches.
