在美国,死亡证明是死亡分类的主要资料来源。但是,作为死因之一的糖尿病漏报甚多,使死亡证明应用于监测糖尿病死亡率受到限制。美国疾病控制中心(CDC)分析1985～1987年糖尿病性眼病随访研究(DEDFUS)资料,从已知糖尿病性眼病患者的死亡证明来确定死亡证明上是否漏报了糖尿病。 In the United States, death certificates are the main source of information on deaths. However, as one of the causes of death, there is a large number of reported cases of diabetes, which has led to the death certificate being used to monitor the mortality of diabetic patients. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analyzed data from a follow-up study of diabetic ophthalmopathy (DEDFUS) from 1985 to 1987 to determine whether deaths were reported as having been reported to have been reported as death certificates from patients with known diabetic eye disease.
