Background: Cause-of-death data linked to information on socioeconomic position form one of the most important sources of information about health inequalities in many countries. The proportion of deaths from ill-defined conditions is one of the indicators of the quality of cause-of-death data.

We tested if this proportion differed across educational groups using Chi-square tests.

This proportion statistically significantly differed by educational groups in several countries with in m
