“…Legal aspects have been pointed out above. Another issue is psychosocial—when the consent of the family is required, MDs can hesitate to seek it of the family grieving the death of a close relation, the representation of the autopsy act remaining very negative in most countries (Becart-Robert 2015 ). Another problem is the cost of an autopsy for the health system.…”

The purpose of this paper is to review the major sources of data on mortality, morbidity and health in Europe and in other developed regions in order to examine their potential for analysing mortality and morbidity levels and trends. The review is primarily focused on routinely collected information covering a whole country. No attempt is made to draw up an inventory of sources by country; the paper deals instead with the pros and cons of each source for mortality and morbidity studies in demography. While each source considered separately can already yield useful, though partial, results, record linkage among data sources can significantly improve the analysis. Record linkage can also lead to the detection of possible causal associations that could eventually be confirmed. More generally, Big Data can reveal changing mortality and morbidity trends and patterns that could lead to preventive measures being taken rather than more costly curative ones.
