Ramiro Fariñas and miss-registration problems may have prevented us from finding a true match for some of these unmatched deaths, whose linkage is impossible to perform with the information available in the records.

The same figure is obtained when replicating the estimation with the figures from our civil registration data on births and deaths in LHISTDATAMAD. We also computed a lower bound of the city’s mortality experience by excluding all migrant deaths of the computation and assuming that not a single native-born child died outside the city: 207 per thousand. This means that the maximum overestimation bias produced by deaths of “migrant infants” would be of 4 %. For the upper bound, there are no concrete numbers on the amount of children leaving the city.
