MEDICAL CERTIFICATE OF CAUSE OF DEATH

Directions for completing the form

Name of deceased: To be given in full. Do not use initials. If deceased is an infant, not

yet named at time of death, write, ‘Son of (s/o)’ or ‘Daughter of (d/o)’ followed by names

of mother and father.

Age: If the deceased was over 1 year of age, give age in completed years, if the deceased

was below 1 year of age, give in months and if below 1 month give age in completed

number of days, and if below one day, in hours.

Cause of Death: This part of the form should always be completed by the attending

physician personally.

The certificate of cause of death is divided into two parts, I and II. Part I is again

divided into three parts, lines (a) (b) (c). If a single morbid condition completely explains

the deaths, then this will be written on line (a) of Part I, and nothing more need be written

in the rest of Part I or in Part II, or example, smallpox, lobar pneumonia, cardiac beriberi,

are sufficient cause of death and usually nothing more is needed.

Often, however, a number of morbid conditions will have been present at death, and

the doctor must then complete the certificate in the proper manner so that the correct

underlying cause will be tabulated. First, enter in Part I (a) the immediate cause of death.

This does not mean the mode of dying, e. g. heart failure, respiratory failure, etc. These

three terms should not appear on the certificate at all since they are modes of dying and

not causes of death. Next consider whether the immediate cause is a complication or

delayed result of some other cause. If so, enter the antecedent cause in Part I, line (b).

Sometimes there will stages in the course of events leading to death. If so, line (c) will be

completed. The underlying cause to be tabulated is always written last in Part I.

Morbid conditions or injuries may be present which were not directly related to the

train of events causing death but which contributed in some way to the fatal outcome.

Sometimes the doctor finds it difficult to decide, especially for infant deaths, which of

several independent conditions was the primary cause of death; but only one cause can be

tabulated, so the doctor must decide. If the other diseases are not effects of the underlying

cause, they are entered in Part II.

Do not write two or more conditions on a single line. Please write the names of the

diseases (in full) in the certificates as legibly as possible to avoid the risk of their being

misread.

–23–

Onset: Complete the column for interval between onset and death whenever possible,

even if very approximately, e. g. “from birth” “several years”.

Accidental or violent deaths: Both the external cause and the nature of the injury are

needed and should be stated. The doctor or hospital should always be able to describe the

injury, stating the part of the body injured, and should give the external cause in full

when this is shown. Example: (a) Hypostatic pneumonia; (b) Fracture of neck or femur;

(c) Fall from ladder at home.

Maternal deaths: Be sure to answer the questions on pregnancy and delivery. This

information is needed for all women of child-bearing age, even though the pregnancy

may have had nothing to do with the death.

Old age or senility: Old age (or senility) should be not given as a cause of death if a

more specific cause is known. If old age was a contributory factor, it should be entered in

Part II. Example: (a) Chronic bronchitis, II old age.

Completeness of information: A complete case history is not wanted, but, if the

information is available, enough details should be given to enable the underlying cause to

be properly classified.

Example: Anaemia—Give type of anaemia, if known. Neoplasms—Indicate whether

benign or malignant, and site, with site of primary neoplasm, whenever possible. Heart

disease—Describe the condition specifically; if congestive heart failure, chronic on

pulmonale, etc., are mentioned, give the antecedent conditions. Tetanus—Describe the

antecedent injury, if known. Operation—State the condition for which the operation was

performed. Dysentry—Specify whether bacillary, amoebic, etc., if known. Complications

of pregnancy or delivery—Describe the complication specifically. Tuberculosis—Give organs

affected.

Symptomatic statement: Convulsions, diarrhoea, fever, ascites, jaundice, debility etc.,

are symptoms which may be due to any one of a number of different conditions.

Sometimes nothing more is known, but whenever possible, give the disease which caused

the symptom.

Manner of Deaths: Deaths not due to external cause should be identified as ‘Natural’.

If the cause of death is known, but it is not known whether it was the result of an

accident, suicide or homicide and is subject to further investigation, the cause of death

should invariably be filled in and the manner of death should be shown as ‘pending

investigation’.
