Deaths (No.) by Place of residence (NUTS - 2013), Sex, Age group and Death cause (European short-list); Annual - Statistics Portugal, Mortality by causes of death
Note(s):
(1) The "European short-list for causes of death" consists of a set of groups selected from causes of the ICD-9 and ICD-10, some of which having subgroups of causes.
The item "All causes of death" is the total of deaths in a given year, not the sum of all items.
(2) The total number of deaths may not correspond to the sum of the partial figures by sex, due to the existence of records with unknown sex.
(3) In some situations of previously ignored date of death, the use of the Sistema de Informação dos Certificados de Óbitos (SICO), which began in late 2013, allows for the assignment of a specific date of death, namely the date of autopsy/medical research. In 2016, nine new deaths occurred in 2013 were identified in the context of SICO. This fact leads to the review of the statistics of mortality by causes of death.
(4) International Classification of Deseases 7th revision: until 1970 8th revision: from 1971 to 1979 9th revision: from 1980 to 2001 10th revision: since 2002.
The 2021 statistical data were obtained based on the information of the Sistema de Informação dos Certificados de Óbito available until April 27, 2023.
(5) From January 1st, 2015 came into force a new version of NUTS (NUTS 2013). At NUTS II level was just a name change in "Lisboa" which became known as "Área Metropolitana de Lisboa".
The analysis of the data for the year 2013 should take into account the changes in the territorial boundaries of the municipalities of Lisboa, Loures, Santarém, Golegã, Faro and Loulé, arising from the legislation related to the administrative territorial reorganization of parishes, with entry into force on September 30, 2013.
(6) In 2013, the Directorate-General of Health defined a change on the guidelines for the codification of the underlying causes of death related to some conditions of dementia and mental disorders, classified in "Mental and behavioural disorders (F00-F99)", while associated to other chapters of IC-10 in previous years. These changes concern coding specifications of F01- Vascular dementia, F03 - Unspecified dementia, G31 - Other degenerative diseases of nervous system, not classified elsewhere, I67.2 - Cerebral atherosclerosis. In this sense, the Vascular dementia of acute onset, Vascular dementia multi-infarct dementia and the Vascular dementia unspecified now classified in F01 when there is an underlying organic cause reported on the death certificate (ceasing to be encoded in I67.2).
In parallel, the Dementia not specified or identified as senile dementia, or primary degenerative not otherwise specified, is now coded in F03 when it is not informed an organic antecedent cause on the death certificate (leaving to be coded in I67.9 - Cerebrovascular disease not specified).
Finally, the senile cerebral degeneration, not elsewhere classified, became codified in G31 when it is not informed an underlying organic cause on the death certificate (leaving to be coded in I67.2).
