The Bremen Mortality Index (BreMI) is a valuable dataset for tracking mortality and causes of death in Bremen. It enhances cancer registry follow-ups and aids in automated medical coding.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • The Bremen Mortality Index (BreMI) is an electronic death certificate dataset for Bremen citizens deceased after December 31, 1997.
  • It is modeled after the US National Death Index (NDI), established in 1979 for vital status and cause of death information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a comprehensive mortality index for Bremen.
  • To improve the efficiency of cancer patient follow-up through data linkage.
  • To support the development of automated medical coding and cause of death determination.

Main Methods:

  • Creation of an electronic data file compiling information from death certificates.
  • Successful linkage of BreMI with the Bremen Cancer Registry.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Automated checking of death certificates for diagnoses, including cancer.

    • Main Results:

    • BreMI has been successfully linked to the Bremen Cancer Registry.
    • The linkage has significantly improved the efficiency of following up on cancer patients.
    • A substantial number of death certificates can now be automatically screened for diagnoses.

    Conclusions:

    • The Bremen Mortality Index is a valuable resource for mortality research and public health surveillance.
    • It facilitates automated diagnosis checking and supports the development of a German medical entity thesaurus.
    • BreMI enhances the ability to determine causes of death and track specific diagnoses within the population.
