Sweden has a long tradition of recording cause of death data. The Swedish cause of death register is a high quality virtually complete register of all deaths in Sweden since 1952. Although originally created for official statistics, it is a highly important data source for medical research since it can be linked to many other national registers, which contain data on social and health factors in the Swedish population. For the appropriate use of this register, it is fundamental to understand its origins and composition. In this paper we describe the origins and composition of the Swedish cause of death register, set out the key strengths and weaknesses of the register, and present the main causes of death across age groups and over time in Sweden. This paper provides a guide and reference to individuals and organisations interested in data from the Swedish cause of death register.
瑞典有着记录死亡原因数据的悠久传统。瑞典死亡原因登记册是一份高质量的记录，几乎涵盖了自1952年以来瑞典所有的死亡情况。尽管它最初是为官方统计而创建的，但它是医学研究的一个极其重要的数据来源，因为它可以与许多其他国家登记册相链接，这些登记册包含了瑞典人口的社会和健康因素数据。为了恰当地使用这个登记册，了解其起源和构成至关重要。在本文中，我们描述了瑞典死亡原因登记册的起源和构成，阐述了该登记册的主要优缺点，并呈现了瑞典各年龄组以及不同时期的主要死亡原因。本文为对瑞典死亡原因登记册数据感兴趣的个人和组织提供了指导和参考。
