AB  - One of the most commonly used indicators in mortality studies is the Standardized 
      Mortality Ratio (SMR) being the Relative Standardized Mortality Ratio (RSMR) an 
      indicator of the relative magnitude of the SMR for a specific cause of death. 
      Along with these indicators, which must be calculated by using the population at 
      risk, there is the Standardized Proportional Mortality Ratio (SPMR), an indicator 
      which measures the excess mortality referring to the proportional mortality 
      established for a standard population. This paper reviews the theoretic 
      conditions described in literature as being necessary to establish a probability 
      interval for the RSMR centered on the SPMR as well as the correlations between 
      both indicators and the use of the SPMR as a predictor of the RSMR. The results 
      obtained clearly show how difficult it is for these theoretic conditions to 
      exist. However, they do suggest that the SPMR be used as a predictor of RSMR.
