Resumen
El objetivo del estudio es valorar la utilidad de los registros de mortalidad existentes en Andalucía como fuente para la identificación de alteraciones de salud de «probable etiología laboral». Se ha adaptado y completado la metodología propuesta por Rutstein en 1983. Se examinaron los certificados de defunción inscritos en el Registro de Mortalidad del Ayuntamiento de Sevilla (período 1987–89) y el Registro de Mortalidad de Andalucía (período 1975–85), encontrándose que el 8,1% y el 8,6% de los certificados, respectivamente, tenían uno de los diagnósticos incluidos en la Lista de Sucesos Centinela en Salud Ocupacional («posible» etiología laboral). La buena cumplimentación del dato ocupación en el registro del Ayuntamiento de Sevilla ha permitido concluir su utilidad, para identificar muertes de «probable» etiología laboral, mientras que por motivo opuesto hemos concluido que el Registro de Mortalidad de Andalucía es poco útil, empeorándose aún más durante el último período estudiado (1980–85).

Summary
Study aim was to assess Andalucian death certificate records to find potential occupational disease problems. Methodology proposed by Rutstein (1983) has been adapted. We had checked Seville City Council Mortality Registry (1987–89) and Andalucian Mortality Registry (1975–85). In the former 8,1% of diagnoses and in the latter 8,6% of diagnoses have one included in the Sentinel Health Event (occupational) List. Accurate ocupation data in the Seville City Council Mortality provides appropRiate information about occupational diseases. Limitations of the occupational data in the Andalucian Mortality Registries make it impossible to find the majority of potential occupational diseases, and occupation data was even worse during the second period of study (1980–85).
