To assess whether the use of multiple cause-of-death data could improve reporting of AIDS mortality in Italy.
Population-based, record-linkage study, on 3,975,431 deaths recorded in the National Registry of Causes of Death (RCoD) and 4,530 deaths recorded in the National AIDS Registry (RAIDS), during 2006-2012.
The record-linkage identified 3,646 AIDS-related deaths present in both registries, 884 deaths in the RAIDS without mention of HIV/AIDS in the RCoD, and 3,796 deaths in the RCoD with mention of HIV/AIDS that were not present in the RAIDS. In the latter, in-depth analysis of multiple cause-of-death allowed the identification of 1,484 deaths that were AIDS-related. On these results, we estimated 6,014 deceased people with AIDS. Of them, 14.7% (884) were not present in the RCoD and 24.7% (1,484) derived from the RCoD only.
The integration of different nationwide registries allowed a more comprehensive estimate of the impact of AIDS-associated mortality in Italy.
评估使用多种死因数据是否能提高意大利艾滋病死亡率的报告质量。
本研究为基于人群的记录链接研究,纳入了 2006 年至 2012 年期间国家死因登记处(RCoD)记录的 3975431 例死亡和国家艾滋病登记处(RAIDS)记录的 4530 例死亡。
记录链接在两个登记处中确定了 3646 例与艾滋病相关的死亡,在 RAIDS 中有 884 例死亡未在 RCoD 中提及 HIV/AIDS,而在 RCoD 中有 3796 例提及 HIV/AIDS 的死亡未在 RAIDS 中记录。在后一种情况下,对多种死因的深入分析确定了 1484 例与艾滋病相关的死亡。基于这些结果,我们估计有 6014 名艾滋病死亡患者。其中,14.7%(884 例)未在 RCoD 中记录,24.7%(1484 例)仅来源于 RCoD。
整合不同的全国性登记处可更全面地估计艾滋病相关死亡率对意大利的影响。
