  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The death certificate is mandated by civil law and serves as a medical‐scientific document useful for biostatistics and epidemiological research. For a variety of reasons, death certificates can be misclassified. We reviewed data from self‐inflicted deaths collected over an 8‐year period by the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">F</jats:styled-content>orensic <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">I</jats:styled-content>nstitute of the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">U</jats:styled-content>niversity <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">S</jats:styled-content>acro <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content>uore of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">R</jats:styled-content>ome (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">I</jats:styled-content>taly). Four hundred and thirty‐five of 2904 were classified as self‐inflicted deaths (15%). The comparison with death certificates processed by the local public health authority (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ASL</jats:styled-content>) and by the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">I</jats:styled-content>talian <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">N</jats:styled-content>ational <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content>ensus <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">B</jats:styled-content>ureau (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">I</jats:styled-content>stat) and with the judicial investigation results available in the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">I</jats:styled-content>talian <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">P</jats:styled-content>enal <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content>ourt archive shows some discrepancies. One‐hundred and twenty‐four of 435 deaths were not considered to be self‐inflicted but due to a crime (29% overrecording suicide) with a higher reduction for women, suggesting that it is easier to confuse a murder for suicide in female cases. Any discrepancies between the mortality and crime data are discussed in details.</jats:p>
