AbstractBackgroundTrauma is a major cause of death in young adults. The mortality rate is one of the key performance indices of trauma centers.ObjectiveTo demonstrate a mortality rate, cause of death, and cause of nonpreventable death in a level-1 trauma center in Thailand.MethodsThere was a retrospective study of the death cases from a trauma registry. The number of trauma deaths during the study period was collected to identify the death rate. The causes of death and a death analysis were obtained from the morbidity and mortality.ResultsThe death rate was 6.6%. The most common cause of overall death was head injury, and exsanguination was the most common cause of death in the first 24 h. The preventable death rate was 2%, and the most common cause of preventable death was exsanguination.ConclusionsThe mortality rate of trauma patients in Thailand was not higher than that in other countries. The majority of deaths were caused from head injury. Therefore, improvement in injury prevention is needed to decrease the number of deaths.

Abstract:
Several factors that cause maternal death can be prevented. To get overview of maternal death caused, it is necessary to carry out in-depth investigations to family and various related parties. This study aims to determine the profile of maternal deaths, the factors that cause maternal deaths that can be prevented and the obstacles that cause maternal deaths. This study used mixed methods with sequential explanatory. The quantitative approach in the first stage was collecting data from data recapitulation and OVM of 254 maternal deaths in Banten Province in 2021. The second stage used a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews. The results showed that 97.6% of maternal deaths could be prevented. The high number of maternal deaths caused by the lack of ANC visits, the referral factor is especially late in deciding to refer.

Abstract:
ObjectivesThere is a dearth of data on causes of death in rural India, which impedes identification of public health priorities to guide health interventions. This study aims to offer insights from verbal autopsies, to understand the pattern and distribution of causes of death in a rural area of Birbhum District, West Bengal, India.DesignCauses of death data were retrieved from a prospective vital event surveillance system.SettingThe Birbhum Population Project, a Health and Demographic Surveillance System, West Bengal, India.ParticipantsBetween January 2012 and December 2017, all deaths were recorded.Main outcome measuresTrained Surveyors tracked all deaths prospectively and used a previously validated verbal autopsy (VA) tool to record causes of death. Experienced physicians reviewed completed VA forms, and assigned cause of death using the 10th version of International Classification of Diseases. In addition to cause-specific mortality fraction, cause-specific crude death rate (CDR) among males and females were estimated.ResultsA total of 2320 deaths (1348 males and 972 females) were recorded. An estimated CDR was 708/100 000. Over half of all deaths (1176 deaths, 50.7%) were attributed to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), with nearly 30% of all deaths attributed to circulatory system disorders; whereas 24.2% and 3.9% deaths were due to cerebrovascular diseases and ischaemic heart disease, respectively. Equal percent (13%) of males died from external causes and from infectious and parasitic diseases, and 11% died from respiratory system-related diseases. Among females, 12% died from infectious and parasitic diseases. Among children aged 0–4 years, 50% of all male deaths and 45% of all female deaths were attributed to conditions in the perinatal period.ConclusionsNCDs are the leading cause of death among adults in a select population of rural Birbhum, India. Health programmes for rural India should prioritise plans to mitigate deaths due to NCDs.

Abstract:
A study was carried out on the cause of death of 100 lower limb amputees who had been admitted to the Dundee Limb Fitting Centre, Tayside, Scotland for prosthetic management or wheelchair training. A comprehensive database has been established in the Centre for 25 years and the database is updated regularly. The date of death was collected and recorded. One hundred sequential deaths were investigated to review the cause of their death and compare this with the recorded causes of death for the Tayside population for the year of study. Ninety three per cent had an amputation for vascular related causes, with 73% having a below-knee amputation and 17% above-knee. Heart disease was the most frequent recorded cause of death (51%) of the amputee whereas only 28.1% of the Tayside group died from this pathology (p<0.01). Carcinomatosis was reported as a cause of death in 14% of the amputees and 23.5% of the Tayside group. Cerebrovascular disease caused death in 6% of the amputees and in 12.3% of the Tayside group (both p<0.01). These findings confirm earlier suggestions that vascular amputees die from heart disease more often than the general population.

Abstract:
Studies of nineteenth-century cause-specific mortality date from the nineteenth century itself. Of necessity, most of these studies are based on published cause-of-death data, where causes have already been classified according to some system, rather than data from the original death registers. This thesis investigates nineteenth-century Tasmanian mortality. The main data source for this investigation is a computer database containing individual-level death-registration data for Tasmania from the period 1838-99. Annual life tables are calculated using adjusted census and death registration data. Causes of death are analysed using a new cause-:of-death classification system that combines elements from the Farr system of registration, in use in England and adopted in Tasmania in the nineteenth century, and the latest revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. The study seeks to answer the following three questions: How accurately were causes of death registered in nineteenth-century Tasmania? How were causes of death classified in the Statistics of Tasmania? What were the mortality patterns and trends over time in Tasmania and what causes of death resulted in these patterns and trends? The thesis confirms the need for researchers to be aware of the pitfalls of nineteenth century cause-of-death data, while recognising the wealth of information that such data can provide about nineteenth-century causes of death, and perceptions of these causes. The thesis also emphasises the importance of considering changes in mortality over time separately by age. The causes of mortality in infancy, childhood, adulthood and middle and old age were all very different, and calculating just one measure of mortality, such as life expectancy or an age-standardised mortality rate, often masks the very different trends occurring for various life stages.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Heart failure is sometimes incorrectly listed as the underlying cause of death (UCD) on death certificates, thus compromising the accuracy and comparability of mortality statistics. Statistical redistribution of the UCD has been used to examine the effect of misclassification of the UCD attributed to heart failure, but sex- and race-specific redistribution of deaths on coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality in the United States has not been examined.METHODS:We used coarsened exact matching to infer the UCD of vital records with heart failure as the UCD from 1999 to 2010 for decedents 55years old and older from states encompassing regions under surveillance by the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study (Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, and North Carolina). Records with heart failure as the UCD were matched on decedent characteristics (five-year age groups, sex, race, education, year of death, and state) to records with heart failure listed among the multiple causes of death. Each heart failure death was then redistributed to plausible UCDs proportional to the frequency among matched records.RESULTS:After redistribution the proportion of deaths increased for CHD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, hypertensive heart disease, and cardiomyopathy, P<0.001. The percent increase in CHD mortality after redistribution was the highest in Mississippi (12%) and lowest in Maryland (1.6%), with variations by year, race, and sex. Redistribution proportions for CHD were similar to CHD death classification by a panel of expert reviewers in the ARIC study.CONCLUSIONS:Redistribution of ill-defined UCD would improve the accuracy and comparability of mortality statistics used to allocate public health resources and monitor mortality trends.

Abstract:
Introduction: Despite improvements in the understanding of infant death over recent years, many infants die each year in whom no cause of death is identified. There is evidence to suggest that a proportion of these unexplained deaths are the consequence of infection, either by a classical mechanism or as a consequence of the action of bacterial toxins. Post mortem tests for bacteria are robust, but there is a lack of effective post mortem tests for inflammatory markers which might assist in the interpretation of bacteriological results, and for identification of bacterial toxins. Methods: Proteomic techniques including biomarker discovery techniques using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, and targeted techniques using multiple reaction monitoring tandem mass spectrometry, were used to identify potential biomarkers for infection and identify bacterial organisms and toxins, with a view to creating clinically-useful tests. Results: First, a rapid test for three biomarkers was developed which allows identification of infection and sepsis with high sensitivity and specificity in post mortem liver samples; this may be rapidly translated for clinical use. Second, a highly specific and sensitive test for Staphylococcus aureus and seven Staphylococcal exotoxins was developed which may be used to study the significance of Staphylococcal toxins in infant deaths. Furthermore this technique may adapted to identify other organisms; allowing potential use as a rapid diagnostic test in clinical practice in the living. Thirdly, the tests developed have identified inflammatory markers which are decreased in infants dying of infection; raising the possibility that acquired immune paresis may contribute to these deaths. This finding contributes to the understanding of mechanisms of fatal infection in infants, and in their prevention and management. Finally, a number of mitochondrial proteins have found to be raised in SIDS cases, which may provide additional insight into the mechanism of death in some of these cases.

Abstract:
Causes of deaths are frequently unknown, and in general a post mortem examination must take place as establishing an individual’s cause of death is the foremost task for a forensic pathologist. Cause of death refers to the illness or injury that initiated the event that lead directly to death or the circumstances of the accident or violence that produced the injury. However, autopsies or post mortem examinations occasionally cannot determine the cause of one’s death this is due to the body not automatically exhibiting visible evidence of how the fatality transpired and similarly there may not be a history of illness which could be as a means of death. Thus the practise of biomarkers is also involved to determine the cause of fatality in problematic cases. Biomarkers reflect an interaction between the body’s biological system and a possible threat which can be either biological, chemical or physical. Although biomarkers have been reviewed and known about for some time in regards to disease and therapeutic intervention the concept for their application in a post mortem examination is relatively new. There is limited literature with regards to this topic with no exact correlation between the use of biomarkers and establishing cause of death, hence the purpose of this literature review is to determine and review the application of various biomarkers in cause of death investigations. This review will also support the use of biomarkers as diagnostic markers and used to generate diagnostic tests to conclude specific causes of death and encourage further biomarker research.

Abstract:
Introdução: A proporção de óbitos classificados como de causa básica mal definida é um dos principais indicadores da qualidade das estatísticas de mortalidade, de grande importância na avaliação da situação e na orientação das políticas de saúde. Estudos preliminares encontraram uma evolução temporal discrepante na comparação da mortalidade proporcional por causa mal definida no Brasil, no Estado de São Paulo, na Baixada Santista e no Município do Guarujá. Este estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de tentar compreender tais diferenças. Métodos: A evolução temporal da proporção de óbitos por causa mal definida foi analisada no período de 1980 a 2002, dividindo-se o Estado de São Paulo em grupos de municípios com e sem o Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos (SVO) e a Baixada Santista. Além da mortalidade proporcional, a classificação do óbito por causa mal definida foi estudada com base no que se convencionou chamar de ?primeiro médico? a avaliar a causa de morte. Ou seja, o profissional que preenche a Declaração de Óbito ou encaminha o caso ao SVO ou ao Instituto Médico Legal (IML). Exclui os médicos do SVO e do IML que preenchem a declaração. A qualidade do preenchimento foi avaliada nos óbitos ocorridos em hospitais e em domicílios, baseada nas informações do tipo de atestante. Resultados: Observou-se um aumento na proporção de óbitos por causa mal definida pelo primeiro médico avaliador da causa de morte em todas as áreas do Estado de São Paulo. Em 1980, na Baixada Santista, a mortalidade proporcional por causa mal definida (MPCMD) era muito baixa, pois mais de 90% dos casos classificados como de causa mal definida pelo primeiro médico avaliador da causa de morte eram encaminhados aos IMLs da região ou ao SVO do Guarujá, onde a maioria dos casos era reclassificada para óbito de causa definida sem a realização de necropsia. A partir de 1984, progressivamente, os casos deixaram de ser encaminhados aos IMLs e passaram a ser classificados como de causa mal definida, com aumento da mortalidade proporcional de mais de nove vezes. A MPCMD no Estado de São Paulo manteve-se estável no período analisado em virtude do aumento da proporção de óbitos em serviços de saúde e de realização de necropsias. No Brasil, onde se observou uma queda de 36,4% da MPCMD, pode-se atribuir ao aumento dos óbitos hospitalares mais de 50% da redução desse indicador. O aumento do encaminhamento dos casos aos SVOs e aos IMLs foi fator importante na redução da mortalidade por causa mal definida nos óbitos domiciliares. Na Baixada Santista, no Estado de São Paulo e nos óbitos hospitalares do país, verificou-se uma piora na qualidade do preenchimento da Declaração de Óbito. Conclusão: A despeito da melhoria dos recursos diagnósticos, observou-se no período estudado uma piora na qualidade do preenchimento da Declaração de Óbito no Estado de São Paulo e nos óbitos hospitalares do país. Para enfrentar o problema da elevada mortalidade proporcional por causa mal definida, sugere-se rediscutir o modelo do fluxo de preenchimento das declarações de óbito, com redefinição das atribuições dos SVOs e dos IMLs.
Introduction: The proportion of deaths classified as due to ill-defined causes is one of the major indicators of the quality of mortality statistics, and is of great value for evaluating and orienting public policies. Preliminary studies indicate discrepant time trends in the evolution of the proportion of deaths due to ill-defined causes between Brazil as a whole, the state of Sao Paulo, the Baixada Santista region, and the municipality of Guarujá. The present study was designed as an attempt to understand these discrepancies. Methods: We analyzed the temporal evolution in the proportion of deaths due to illdefined causes between 1980 and 2002, dividing the state of Sao Paulo into three groups of municipalities: those with Death Verification Service (DVS), those without DVS, and those located in the Baixada Santista. In addition to proportional mortality, we also studied the classification of ill-defined deaths based on what was defined as the ?first physician? to evaluate cause of death. This consisted either of the professional who completed the Death Certificate or who referred the case to the DVS or medical examiner. This definition excludes any DVS or Medical Examiner physicians who filled certificates. The quality of the information in the certificate was evaluated for deaths occurred in hospitals and at home based on information on the type of physician. Results: There was an increase in the proportion of deaths due to ill-defined causes as defined by the first physician to evaluate cause of death in all areas of the State of Sao Paulo. In 1980, in the Baixada Santista, proportional mortality due to ill-defined causes (PMIDC) was very low, with over 90% of cases considered as due to illdefined causes by the first physician being referred to the region?s Medical Examiners or to the Guarujá DVS, where the majority of cases was assigned to a defined cause without need for autopsy. Beginning in 1984, the number of cases referred to Medical Examiners began to fall, leading to a 9-fold increase in PMIDC. PMIDC in the State of Sao Paulo remained stable throughout the period as a consequence of the increase in the proportion of autopsies and of deaths occurred within healthcare facilities. In the country as a whole, there was a 36.4% decrease in PMIDC, of which more than 50% can be attributed to the increase in the number of hospital deaths. Increased referral of cases to DVSs and medical examiners was an important factor in the reduction of mortality due to ill-defined causes among athome deaths. The quality of information in Death Certificates decreased in the Baixada Santista, in the State of Sao Paulo, and among hospital deaths in Brazil as a whole. Conclusion: Despite improvements in diagnosis, quality of information in Death Certificates decreased during the studied period in the State of Sao Paulo and among hospital deaths in the country as a whole. In order to tackle the issue of high proportional mortality due to ill-defined causes, we suggest a reevaluation of the flow of information in Death Certificates, with a redefinition of the role of medical examiners and DVSs.

Thesis (MPHM. (Curriculum Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2019
The quality of mortality data in South Africa has been questioned because of the high percentage of deaths reported to be due to ill-defined causes. We sought to assess the level of knowledge of doctors on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) rules for medical certification of cause of death and determine the factors influencing that knowledge. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted across 12 hospitals in Limpopo Province among the five districts stratified by level of care. Doctors completed selfadministered questionnaire, which included the baseline characteristics and questions that tested their theoretical knowledge of the ICD rules of death certification. The outcome, an adequate level of knowledge was set at a score of ≥ 60%. A chi square test was used to determine the factors associated with the outcome. Ethical approval was obtained from Turfloop Research Ethics Committee, University of Limpopo. Results Of the 301 doctors who participated, 50.5% were female, 64% were junior doctors and 13% were specialists. Up to 49% of doctors worked in the two tertiary hospitals. Only 18% of the doctors have ever attended a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) on the topic. The mean overall score on knowledge of medical certification for all the doctors was 59.80% (±11.95) with 53% obtaining at least 60% on the questionnaire. Doctors lacked knowledge on identifying unnatural deaths and discerning the underlying cause of death. Factors associated with the adequate knowledge included years of clinical experience (p=0.01), previous training (p<0.001), awareness of guidelines (p=0.04), comfort level (p=0.01) and rank (p=0.02). Conclusion The study highlighted the need for training of all doctors in the province and identified the knowledge gaps. Interactive capacity-building workshops have been shown to improve knowledge of doctors on medical certification of cause of death in other studies. To improve the quality of mortality data in Limpopo Province, such workshops must be conducted in all hospitals. Key words: death notification, medical certification, cause of death

"
Cause of death certification continues to be a useful tool in obtaining demographic, epidemiological and legal information. However errors in death certification are widespread and range from incomplete certificates to inaccurate causes and manners of death. The accuracy of the immediate and underlying causes of death listed on the death certificate depends to a large extent on the doctor and his or her understanding of the guidelines for reporting immediate and underlying causes of death. In 1998, South Africa adopted a new death certificate as per the format proposed by WHO. However, several studies have identified problems in the quality of cause of death certification. Furthermore, analysis of cause of death data suggested extensive underreporting of HIV as an underlying cause of death..."

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction: The recent World Health Organization (WHO) report on trends in Maternal mortality (MM), from 1990 to 2013, ranks Malawi as one of the fifteen sub-Saharan countries with the highest Maternal Mortality Ratio (MM) of above 500 per 100,000live births (WHO 2014b). Malawi has no registration system for recording births and deaths. MM estimates are based on direct sisterhood methods, (used in Demographic and Health Surveys) and WHO modelled estimates, which are both highly susceptible to inaccuracies because they are both indirect methods which do not identify individual deaths within a defined population. The difficulties in obtaining accurate MMR estimates highlight the need to explore other methodologies that give more reliable data on levels as well as the cause of maternal deaths (MDs). A Reproductive Age Mortality Survey (RAMOS) is one such approach and can provide more direct and complete estimation of MMR in countries without reliable vital registration or other data sources. This is the first RAMOS used in Malawi. The aim of this study was to identify the magnitude, causes of, and factors associated with MDs in the Mangochi district in Malawi. Methods: Deaths of women of reproductive age (WRA), (15 to 49 years) that occurred from December, 2011 to November, 2012 in the district were identified. Multiple data sources were used to identify deaths, including; health facilities, communities, mortuary records and police records. Classification the death as a MD or not was done according to the ICD-10 definition. Facility based audit were conducted for all facility based MDs and verbal autopsies for all MDs. Cause of death attribution was done in three ways, 1) by a panel of experts in maternal health using the WHO application of ICD-10 to deaths during pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium (ICD-MM) (WHO 2012c), 2) by health professionals working in health facilities and 3) by using an InterVA-4 computer model. Cause of death attributed by the three methods was then compared. The three delays model was used to identify delays associated with MDs. The number of MDs identified in this study was compared to the official register in the district. MMR was calculated based on three proxy denominators; 1) number of babies who received BCG vaccine, 2) live births from the census report and 3) live births calculated from general fertility estimates. Results: A total of 424 deaths of WRA were identified and 151 of these (35.6%) were identified to be MDs. Based on the three denominators, the MMR for the Mangochi district was within the range of 341-363 per 100,000 live births (95% CI: 289-425 per 100,000 live births). Only 86 MDs had been reported via existing registers, giving an underreporting rate of 43%. The highest MMR was in age group 25-29 years (494/100,000 live births (95% CI: 349-683 per 100,000). Most MDs (62.3% (94/151)) occurred in health facilities. Based on ICD-MM cause classification, 74.8% were direct MDs, 17.3% were indirect and 7.9% were due to unknown causes. The leading cause of direct MDs (n=113) was obstetric haemorrhage (35.8%) followed by pregnancy related infections (14.4%) and hypertensive disorders (12.6%). The most frequent indirect cause of MD (n=26) was malaria (56.7%). There was low level of agreement over the cause of death between the panel of experts and health the professionals (κ= 0.37), while a substantial level of agreement was observed between the panel of experts and the InterVA-4 model (κ= 0.66). Based on ICD-MM, health professionals identified contributory factors (morbidity group) to 15.1% of MDs (n=86) as the underlying cause of death. Substandard care for obstetric emergencies, lack of blood, lack of transport, failures to recognize the severity of a problem at community level and delays in starting the decision-making process to seek health care were frequently factors associated with MDs. Conclusion: The current MD reporting system in Malawi needs strengthening. The high numbers of health facility deaths, cause of MDs and their contributing factors in Mangochi reflect serious deficiencies in the quality of maternal care that need to be urgently rectified. Urgent orientation of health workers on ICD-MM is required to obtain accurate information on cause of MDs that can be used to design effective interventions. There is need to strengthen the referral system and educate women on obstetric danger signs.

Abstract:
Objective: This review aims to identify and categorise demographic methods used in modelling multiple causes of death. The assumption that each death is caused by exactly one disease is debatable, as other possible diseases or causes may be associated with the main cause. Hence, the multiple causes of death approach is essential for understanding mortality. Therefore, through this study, we will carry out a Scoping Review of the existing literature on the topic of MCOD. Inclusion criteria: This review considers literature pertaining to methods for the analysis and utilization of multiple cause of death data. Papers that discuss the methods used as well as the strengths and limitations of multiple cause of death approach will be considered for this study. Methods: Preliminary searches were conducted in July 2022 and focussed on concepts of multiple cause of death mortality and multiple causes of death. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus and was conducted in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. There were no time constraints on the studies to be included in this review. Articles were initially screened by title and abstract and then reviewed by full text by three independent reviewers. Two reviewers extracted the data from the eligible articles. Results: A total of 769 papers were reviewed at the abstract and title level. Of these, 124 were screened for full-text eligibility. A total of 53 articles were included in the final analysis. Among the articles included, 31 were articles from the United States, 14 were from Europe and 8 were from other countries. The papers were categorized as methodological (33) papers, data assessment papers (19), papers discussing socioeconomic differences in mortality (13) and mixed method papers (11). Conclusions: There are many different types of methodologies and procedures used to analyse multiple cause of death statistics. All papers included in this study used descriptive methods (mostly frequency tables and cross-tabulations) to analyze multiple cause of death data, and almost half of them use visualizations to model the results. One of the most common limitations cited among the articles is the comparability of the statistics. Accurate data and analysis of vital statistics require resources, and many countries do not have the to report high-quality statistics. This could explain why most of the papers selected for this study focused on data from developed countries.

Abstract:
Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children worldwide and the great majority of these deaths occur in resource-limited settings. Effective case management is an important strategy to reduce pneumonia related morbidity and mortality in children. Pneumonia case management includes appropriate choice of antibiotic and additional supportive treatments, prompt and appropriate referral for inpatient care, and management of treatment failure
