摘要 苏里南统计局假设该国的死亡率数据质量良好，并且在生成生命表估计值之前不进行任何测试。然而，数据质量的缺乏是世界欠发达地区的一个问题。本文的主要目的是评估 2004 年至 2012 年该国及其主要地区的死亡人数登记质量，并按性别估算成人死亡率。我们使用按年龄和性别划分的人口数据、上次人口普查的数据以及统计办公室的死亡统计数据。 We use traditional demographic methods to perform the analysis.我们发现苏里南及其中部地区的死亡人数登记质量相当不错。我们还发现人口数据也算不错。结果显示，男性和女性的完整性存在微小差异，而对于次国家人口，方法的选择对结果有影响。综上所述，苏里南的数据质量优于该地区大多数国家，但与其他地点一样，存在相当大的区域差异。
Abstract Suriname statistical office assumes that mortality data in the country is of good quality and does not perform any test before producing life table estimates. However, lack of data quality is a concern in the less developed areas of the world. The primary objective of this article is to evaluate the quality of death counts registration in the country and its main regions from 2004 to 2012 and to produce estimates of adult mortality by sex. We use data from population, by age and sex, from the last censuses and death counts from the Statistical office. We use traditional demographic methods to perform the analysis. We find that the quality of the death count registration in Suriname and its central regions is reasonably good. We also find that population data can be considered good. The results reveal a small difference in the completeness for males and females and that for the sub-national population the choice of method has implication on the results. To sum up, data quality in Suriname is better than in most countries in the region, but there are considerable regional differences as observed in other locations.
