Methodological note

Methodological aspects

Death Statistics by cause of death from Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), provide annual information on deaths occurring in Spain in relation with the principal cause, in accordance with the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The 10th version of this classification has been used since 1999.

This is a harmonized European statistic which is backed up by Regulation (EU) No. 328/2011 of the Commission, dated April 5 2011, in relation with statistics on the causes of death.

The original source of the data is the unified Medical Death Certificate/Statistical Death Bulletin, with which the death is registered in the Civil Registry. In the case of deaths within the first 24 hours of life, the information from the Medical Death Certificate is supplemented by information from the Statistical Birth Bulletin. In the case of deaths where the law intervenes, the source of information is the Statistical Legal Death Bulletin completed by the courts or the information provided directly by the Institutes of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences.
