Educational gradients in the quality of mortality data: a nationwide, registry-based study on heart failure listed incorrectly as underlying cause of death in Norway Open
Aim: In the context of mortality, heart failure (HF) represents an intermediate factor and should not be used to describe underlying cause of death (UCoD). We explored the potential educational gradients in use of HF to describe UCoD using…
