N2  - With the aim to understand road accident mortality in Catalonia, death certificates were studied, and a comparison between several autonomic communities was undertaken to highlight any differences. The road accident death rate increased from 9.8 in 1983 to 19.4 per 100,000 inhabitants in 1990. By 1990, the death rate for Catalan males was 31.3 per 100,000 inhabitants, and 7.9 for women, figures which showed increases of 90% and 50%, respectively, since 1983. Standardised mortality rates for Galicia, Asturias and Valencia have, on average, been higher those for Catalonia and Madrid (p = 0.014). Catalonia is the community which has experienced the greatest increase, with an evolution showing a good linear fit (p = 0.005).<p />  <p>Language: es</p>
