Cause of deathCause of death: Details about specific diseases, conditions or injuries that caused or contributed to the death of an individual.
Data
Immediate causeImmediate cause: The disease, condition or injury that directly led to, or occurred closest to, the time of death.
It is recommended that 'Direct cause' be coded with an external terminology. This data element may also be considered as the Cause labelled as 'A' within a death certificate recording a sequence of events leading to death. For example: Cerebral haemorrhage (as 'Direct cause', A) - 'due to' Metastasis of the brain ('Antecedent cause B'); - 'due to' Breast cancer (as the earliest 'Antecedent cause C'; or 'Underlying cause').
Intermediate cause(s)Intermediate cause(s): Details about one or more diseases, conditions or injuries in the sequence of events preceding death, recorded in order from most recent onset to the earliest onset.
In the following example, there would only need to be two instances of this 'Antecedent cause(s)' CLUSTER represented in a template: - Cerebral haemorrhage (as 'Direct cause', A) - 'due to' Metastasis of the brain ('Antecedent cause B'); - 'due to' Breast cancer (as the earliest 'Antecedent cause C'; or 'Underlying cause'). If there is more than one 'Antecedent cause', each is represented as a separate instance of this CLUSTER.
Intermediate causeIntermediate cause: Identification of an antecedent disease, condition or injury that directly contributed to the 'Direct cause'.
It is recommended that 'Cause' be coded with an external terminology.
Underlying causeUnderlying cause: Details about one or more diseases, conditions or injuries in the sequence of events preceding death, recorded in order from most recent onset to the earliest onset.
In the following example, there would only need to be two instances of this 'Antecedent cause(s)' CLUSTER represented in a template: - Cerebral haemorrhage (as 'Direct cause', A) - 'due to' Metastasis of the brain ('Antecedent cause B'); - 'due to' Breast cancer (as the earliest 'Antecedent cause C'; or 'Underlying cause'). If there is more than one 'Antecedent cause', each is represented as a separate instance of this CLUSTER.
Underlying causeUnderlying cause: Identification of an antecedent disease, condition or injury that directly contributed to the 'Direct cause'.
It is recommended that 'Cause' be coded with an external terminology.
Other significant conditionsOther significant conditions: Details about other significant conditions that may have contributed to the death, but without a causal association.
ConditionCondition: Name of a significant condition that may have contributed to the death, but without a causal association.
It is recommended that 'Condition' be coded with an external terminology.
