LIST OF INDEFINITE TERMS WHICH SHOULD BE AVOIDED IN GIVING CAUSES OF DEATH.
Acute gastritis.
State cause. Was it due to some irritant poison ?
Ascites. Name disease causing ascites. See "Dropsy."
Asphyxia.
How? Was it accidental? If so, state fully the nature of the accident. If by gases or poisonous vapors, give particulars. Was it a case of "overlying" (child) ? What disease caused this condition ?
Asthenia.
A practically worthless statement. See "Debility." What was the cause?
Atrophy. What caused the atrophy? Was it tuberculous wasting (phthisis)? Was it syphilis? What organ or part atrophied ?
Blood poisoning.
Do you mean septicemia, syphilis, or any other definite disease ? If septicemia, what was the cause? Was it puerperal ?
Chronic pneumonia.
Was this not pulmonary tuberculosis ?
Congestion of lungs.
Was it acute bronchitis, broncho-pneumonia, or lobar- pneumonia? If so, state definitely. Was it passive or hypostatic congestion? If so, name disease causing the condition.
Convulsions.
What caused the convulsions? Were they epileptic, puerperal, or caused by diarrhea or enteritis (infants) ? Name the disease in which the convulsions occurred. "Convulsions" are mere symptoms and should not be given as equivalent to a proper statement of cause of death.
Debility.
What caused the debility? Name the acute or chronic disease. Debility might follow typhoid fever, diph- theria, tuberculosis, Bright's disease, and a host of other causes. The return is worthless and should never be made.
Dentition.
What was the disease causing death of the teething child ? "Dentition" is not a proper cause of death, and, like "infantile" and "old age," does little except to mark the approximate age of decedents.
Dropsy. Name the disease in which the "dropsy" occurred.
Dyspepsia. Was there organic disease of the stomach or other organs? If so, name the disease causing death.
Eclampsia. Give cause of convulsions. Were they puerperal?
Edema of lungs.
Give cause. See "Congestion of lungs."
Gastric fever.
A worthless return. Was it acute gastritis (q. v.) or some definite form of fever, as typhoid, malarial, etc .?
General paralysis.
If extended paralysis resulted from cerebral hemorrhage, the cause should be given and the expression "general paralysis" should be avoided. "General paralysis" should be written only for "general paralysis of the insane," or paretic dementia, and the statement of the fact of insanity should always be included.
Heart failure.
What disease caused the "heart failure"? The heart always "fails" before death from any cause. Be par- ticularly careful that deaths from diphtheria, tubercu- losis, etc., are not so reported. If organic heart disease is meant it should be so stated.
Hemorrhage of lungs.
Was this not due to pulmonary tuberculosis? If so, the primary cause should be reported without fail.
Hypostatic congestion.
Name the disease causing the passive or hypostatic con- gestion.
Imperfect nutrition.
State name of disease causing imperfect nutrition. Did it follow some disease? If so, give name of disease.
Inanition. This is a particularly pernicious term and is responsible for a multitude of worthless certificates. It sounds as if it meant something definite, but, in the majority of cases, it does not. What disease caused the inanition ? Was it syphilis, tuberculosis, cholera infantum? If inability to take food, state cause.
Infantile asthenla. See " Asthenia." The term "infantile" adds no precis to an indefinite statement.
Infantile atrophy. See "Atrophy."
Malassimilation. What disease caused the malassimilation ?
Malnutrition. What disease caused the malnutrition ?
Marasmus. What disease caused the "marasmus" ? Was it due tuberculosis, syphilis, or cholera infantum? St fully, as this return in itself is practically worthless compilation.
Meningitis. Was it epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis? If so, w exactly in this form. Did it follow scarlet fever, pr monia, or some acute infection ? If so, name the mary disease. Was it traumatic? If so, state nature of the violence which caused the mening Was it tuberculous meningitis ?
Nephritis. Was it acute or chronic? If acute, occurring in the co of some disease, name the disease causing death.
Old age. This is not a satisfactory return. The influence of ag shown by the statement of age in years, months, days. To this the statement of "old age" as a caus death adds nothing of value. Name the disease which the old person succumbed.
Peritonitis. What was the cause of the peritonitis? "Idiopathic p tonitis" should be rarely returned. Was it puerp or traumatic? In the latter case, state mode of inju
Pernicious anemia. If any definite cause can be assigned for the anemia should be reported. Anemia due to tuberculosis, sy ilis, etc., should be returned under the primary dise
Pneumonia. Specify definitely whether broncho-pneumonia or lol pneumonia. If sequel to influenza, state that fact
Pyemla. What caused the pyemia? Was it puerperal or t matic? If traumatic, state nature of accident cau injury.
