Death certification and coding for ischemic heart disease in Australia.

A J Dobson, R W Gibberd, S R Leeder

    American Journal of Epidemiology
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ischemic heart disease mortality data in Australia is generally accurate for overall trends but lacks validity for specific conditions like heart attacks. Improved diagnostic and coding practices are needed for precise long-term monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular epidemiology
    • Public health surveillance

    Background:

    • Global trends in ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality show significant regional variations.
    • Accurate data is crucial for understanding and managing IHD incidence and mortality patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the quality of routinely collected mortality data for ischemic heart disease in Australia.
    • To evaluate the validity and reliability of IHD subcategory data.
    • To identify requirements for accurate future monitoring of IHD trends.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of a heart attack surveillance study with official death records (1979).
    • Analysis of Australian state-level IHD mortality trends (1969-1978).

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Overall IHD mortality data demonstrated accuracy within approximately 10%.
    • Data for acute myocardial infarction and other IHD subcategories were found to be neither valid nor reliable.

    Conclusions:

    • While overall IHD mortality figures are reasonably accurate, specific diagnostic and coding practices need enhancement.
    • New methodologies are essential for reliable long-term monitoring of IHD subcategories.
