Resumen
La diferencia en el número de defunciones debidas al SIDA entre el Registro de mortalidad y el Registro de casos en Cataluña es relativamente pequeña, como consecuencia de la colaboración entre ambos registros. Las estadísticas oficiales de mortalidad son capaces de detectar directamente el 78% de las defunciones en los casos de SIDA en Cataluña. Esta proporción puede aumentar si se tienen en cuentan las defunciones por enfermedades indicativas de SIDA. Comparando los dos registros, la proporción global de falsos positivos de las estadísticas oficiales de mortalidad es del 8,2%. El análisis de la información de los boletines estadísticos de defunción permite sugerir recomendaciones simples para mejorar el conocimiento de la mortalidad por SIDA.

Summary
Differences betwen the number of AIDS deaths reported to the mortality register and to the AIDS register in Catalonia, Spain are relatively small, due to both registers cooperation. Official mortality statistics are able to identify 78% of AIDS deaths. This proportion can be increased if the deaths caused by AIDS indicative diseases are included. The overall proportion of false positives when comparing both registers is 8.2%. Analysis of the available information from death certificates is useful to suggest simple recommendations to improve the quality of AIDS mortality data.
