Resumen:
The National Spanish Institute of Statistics (INE) website is the main means of communication for official statistics in Spain. The INE publishes the annual statistics of deaths according to the cause of death. This vital statistic has improved a lot in recent years; also, thanks to the collaboration from the Autonomous Communities. There are certain areas that could optimize its usefulness. Indicator improvements could include provisional case-counts by causes of death, besides the age-standardization of specified causes of death and the Potential Years of Life Lost by cause of death, for territorial comparison. Meanwhile, the usefulness of social indicators applied to the statistics of death causes could be enhanced, as is the case of education. By updating the databases, it would be possible to maintain the registries of deceased and their causes of death without an annual closure before the statistical publication. Moreover, we could link the databases of demographic records of the population to their health files, to obtain individually the people at risk of sickness or death, and to enable their respective vital, social, health trajectories for statistics. In this way, the INE would increase its leadership and reference on mortality statistics in Spain and EuroStat, as well. Furthermore, the State, Autonomous and municipal administrations could redefine their publication offer into a more specified or innovative statistics of death causes.
