Quantifying Mortality Incorporating Multiple Causes of Death: Optimising Data for Policy and Practice

尽管有关于多种死因(MCoD)的综合数据，但死亡率统计依赖于单一潜在死因。该项目将使用包含2006-16年在澳大利亚登记的所有死亡的国家死因单位记录文件，以及一项大型队列研究，并将健康和死亡数据联系起来，以产生关于澳大利亚MCoD的新知识，制定报告和分析方法，评估使用的影响，并改进政策和做法。

Despite the availability of comprehensive data on multiple causes of death (MCoD), mortality statistics rely on a single underlying cause of death. This project will use National Cause of Death Unit Record Files containing all deaths registered in Australia from 2006-16, as well as a large cohort study, with linked health and mortality data, to generate new knowledge on MCoD in Australia, develop methods for reporting and analysis, assess the impact of use, and improve policy and practice.
