Abstract：Objective To investigate the underreporting of deaths among residents in a national monitoring point for causes of death, and to evaluate the integrity and accuracy of reports from the information system for monitoring on causes of death. Methods The death information of residents in a national monitoring point for causes of death was collected from three sampling points in Lu County. A total of 42 villages/communities in 3 towns (sampling points) in Lu County were selected by a random cluster sampling method. The death information of all the population in the sampling points from 2018 to 2020 was collected from police stations, social affairs offices, women and children, villages (neighborhood committees) and other channels, compared with the death report data from the information management system for monitoring on causes of death in population, and then calculated the underreporting rate. The death report cards of residents from the sampling points in the information management system for monitoring on causes of death in population were verified, and the reliability and coding quality of diagnosis of causes of death were evaluated. Results The underreporting rate of total deaths in population in Lu County was 9.38%. The underreporting rategradually decreased by 18.31% in 2018, 7.53% in 2019 and 2.16% in 2020. The annual percent change was -11.9%. There were statistically significant differences in the changing trend (t=-5.175, P<0.001). The reliability and accuracy of diagnosis of causes of death in the sampling points were high, and the reliable diagnosis units and reliable diagnosis basis accounted for 81.81% and 75.67%, respectively. The coding error rate of fundamental causes of death was 0.21%. Conclusion The quality of data about monitoring on causes of death in Lu County is high, but it is still necessary to further reduce the underreporting rate and improve the integrity of data about monitoring on causes of death and the reliability of diagnosis of causes of death.
