Abstract:
An altered 'Cause of Death' certificate is proposed. The major changes involve the use of the international format for certification of death and provision for collection of extra data, i.e. estimated age at death, sex, population group and, where relevant, the mass of an infant at birth. The new format will facilitate improved data collection and the certificate will stand international comparison.
