PIA JUAREZ, Sol. Notas acerca del movimiento natural de la población para el estudio de la salud perinatalNotes on vital statistics for the study of perinatal health. Gac Sanit [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.6, pp.505-507. ISSN 0213-9111. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2014.04.007.
Vital statistics, published by the National Statistics Institute in Spain, are a highly important source for the study of perinatal health nationwide. However, the process of data collection is not well-known and has implications both for the quality and interpretation of the epidemiological results derived from this source. The aim of this study was to present how the information is collected and some of the associated problems. This study is the result of an analysis of the methodological notes from the National Statistics Institute and first-hand information obtained from hospitals, the Central Civil Registry of Madrid, and the Madrid Institute for Statistics. Greater integration between these institutions is required to improve the quality of birth and stillbirth statistics.
