Spatial analysis of completeness of death registration in Egypt
Abstract Purpose Civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems should be the primary source of routine mortality data. However, there is lack of information about the completeness of death registration at the sub-national level of Egypt. The current study was conducted to estimate the compl...
