Non-natural causes of death of residents of the Netherlands (from 01-01-1996)

This file contains information on persons who died of a non-natural cause of death and who were registered in the Municipal Basic Administration (GBA) at the time of their death. The data are broken down by suicide, murder and manslaughter, road deaths, fatal business and private accidents and other or unknown cases. More information on how to access the data: > https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/onze-diensten/maatwerk-en-microdata/microdata-zelf-onderzoek-doen ### Methodology For every deceased resident of the Netherlands, the doctor (the attending physician, his observer or the municipal coroner) fills in a certificate of death (B-declaration). This cause of death is sent to the CBS medical officer in a closed envelope via the municipality where the death occurred. At CBS, the envelopes are opened and the forms are processed. This happens completely anonymously, the name of the deceased is not known to CBS. From the Dutch municipalities CBS receives death reports about deceased persons registered in the GBA. This data is linked to the cause of death, so that background data of the deceased are known. At the district parquets, files relating to non-natural deaths are collected on the basis of questionnaires. From Rijkswaterstaat (Water Traffic and Environment) from the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment a file relating to road deaths is obtained, from the Labour Inspectorate a file relating to occupational accidents and from the police suicide forms. The data from the cause of death and the DPA are compared with the data from the district parquets and external services and adjusted where necessary. In euthanasia, the disease for which euthanasia has been performed is encoded as the primary cause of death. Euthanasia is therefore not a non-natural death, but is counted as a natural death. ### Population Deceased persons who were registered in the Municipal BasisAsministration (GBA) at the time of death and died of a non-natural death本数据集收录了死亡时已在市政基础管理系统（Municipal Basic Administration，GBA）完成登记、且死于非自然死亡的人员信息。数据按自杀、谋杀与过失杀人、道路交通事故死亡、致命生产事故与私人意外事故以及其他/未知死亡案例进行分类统计。 有关数据获取方式的更多信息： > https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/onze-diensten/maatwerk-en-microdata/microdata-zelf-onderzoek-doen ### 研究方法 针对荷兰每一位已故居民，主治医生、其助理医师或市政验尸官需填写死亡证明（B-declaration）。死亡原因将通过死亡发生地的市政部门以密封信封的形式提交给荷兰中央统计局（CBS）的医事专员。在荷兰中央统计局，工作人员将拆封信封并处理相关表格。整个流程完全匿名，该局无法获知死者的姓名。 荷兰中央统计局从各市政部门接收已在GBA完成登记的死者的死亡报告，并将此类数据与死亡原因进行关联，从而获取死者的背景信息。地方检察署会通过问卷收集与非自然死亡相关的案卷材料。从隶属于基础设施与环境部的荷兰皇家水管理局（Rijkswaterstaat，Water Traffic and Environment）获取道路交通事故死亡相关案卷，从劳工监察局获取职业事故相关案卷，从警方获取自杀申报表格。将死亡原因数据、DPA数据与地方检察署及外部服务机构提供的数据进行比对，并在必要时予以修正。 在安乐死案例中，实施安乐死所针对的疾病将被编码为主要死亡原因。因此安乐死不属于非自然死亡，而是被归类为自然死亡。 ### 研究对象 死亡时已在GBA完成登记且死于非自然死亡的已故人员
