Among all deaths to Connecticut residents (1990/91), 1260 were acceptable Spanish-surname matches (using father's surname for females), of which only 793 (62.9%) were identified as Hispanic origin on the death certificate. Certificates also identified 127 non-Spanish-surnamed Hispanics. With death rates for non-Hispanics used as the standard, the standardized mortality ratio for Hispanics based on the 920 (793 plus 127) deaths identified by the Hispanic-origin item was lower (by 33% in males and 36% in females) than that based on all 1387 (1260 plus 127) Hispanics. Spanish-surname matching should improve estimation of mortality rates in some Hispanic populations.
在康涅狄格州居民的所有死亡案例中（1990/91年），有1260例是可接受的西班牙姓氏匹配（女性使用父亲的姓氏），其中只有793例（62.9%）在死亡证明上被认定为西班牙裔血统。死亡证明还识别出127名非西班牙姓氏的西班牙裔。以非西班牙裔的死亡率为标准，根据西班牙裔血统项目识别出的920例（793例加上127例）死亡案例计算得出的西班牙裔标准化死亡率，比基于所有1387例（1260例加上127例）西班牙裔计算得出的标准化死亡率更低（男性低33%，女性低36%）。西班牙姓氏匹配应能改善某些西班牙裔人群死亡率的估计。
