REVISED UNITED STATES STANDARD CERTIFICATE OF DEATH
[Approved by U. S. Census and American Public Health Association]
Statement of occupation. - Precise statement of occupation is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. The question applies to each and every person, irrespective of age. For many occupations a single word or term on the first line will be sufficient, e. g., Farmer or Planter, Physician, Compositor, Architect, Locomotive engineer, Civilengineer, Stationary fireman, etc. But in many cases, especially in industrial employments, it is necessary to know (a) the kind of work and also (b) the nature of the business or industry, and therefore an additional line is provided for the latter statement; it should be used only when needed. As examples: (a) Spinner, (b) Cotton mill; (a) Salesman, (b) Grocery; (a) Foreman, (b) Automobile factory. The material worked on may form part of the second statement. Never return "Laborer," "Foreman," "Manager," "Dealer," etc., without more precise specification, as Day laborer, Farm laborer, Laborer - Coal mine, ete. Women at home, who are engaged in the duties of the house- hold only (not paid Housekeepers who receive a definite salary), may be entered as Housewife, Housework, or At home, and children, not gainfully employsd, as At school or At home. Care should be taken to report spe- cifically the occupations of persons engaged in domestic service for wages, as Servant, Cook, Housemaid, ete. If the occupation has been changed or given up on account of the DISEASE CAUSING DEATH, state occupation at beginning of illness. If retired from business, that fact may be indicated thus: Farmer (retired, 6 yrs.). For persons who have no occupation whatever, write None.
Statement of cause of death. - Name, first, the DISEASE CAUSING DEATH (the primary affection with respect to time and causation), using always the same acceptsd term for the same disease. Examples: Cere- brospinal fever (the only dsfinite synonym is "Epidemic csrebrospinal meningitis"); Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup"); Typhoid fever (never report "Typhoid pneumonia); Lobar pneumonia; Bronchopneumonia ("Pneumonia," unqualifisd, indefinite); Tuberculosis of lungs, men- inges, peritoneum, etc., Carcinoma, Sarcoma, etc., of .......... (name origin; "Cancer" is less definite; avoid use of "Tumor" for malignant neoplasms); Measles; Whooping cough; Chronic valvular heart disease; Chronic interstitial nephritis, ete. Ths contributory (secondary or inter- current) affection need not be stated unless important. Example: Measles (disease causing death), 29 ds .; Bronchopneumonia (secondary), 10 ds. Never report msre symptoms or terminal conditions, such as "Asthenia," "Anemia" (msrely symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Col- lapse,""Coma,""Convulsions,""Debility" ("Congenital,""Senile," etc.), "Dropsy,""Exhaustion,""Heart failure,""Hemorrhage,""Ina- nition, " "Marasmus," "Old age," "Shock," "Uremia,""Weakness," etc., when a definite disease can be ascertained as the cause. Always qualify all diseases resulting from childbirth or miscarriage, as "PUER- PERAL septicemia," "PUERPERAL peritonitis," etc.
State cause for which surgical operation was undertaken.
(Recommendations on statement of cause of death approved by Com- mittee on Nomenclature of the American Medical Association.)
Bronchopneumonia: If primary cause, write the word "pri- mary" ; if secondary, give primary cause.
Certificates will be returned for additional information which give any of the following diseases, without explanation, as the sole cause of death: Abortlon, cellulitis, childbirth, convulsions, hemorrhage, gangrene, gastritis, erysipelas, meningitis, miscar- rlage, necrosis, peritonitis, phlebitis, pyemia, septicemia, tetanus.
EXTRACTS FROM THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNING THE RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH
A physician shall forthwith, after the death of a person whom he has attended during his last illness, at the request of an undertaker or other authorized person or of any member of the family of the deceased, furnish for registration a standard certificate of death, stating to the best of his knowledge and belief the name of the deceased, his supposed age, ths disease of which he died [defined so that it can be classified under ths international classification of causes of death], where contractcd, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician, and the date of his death. . . . - Revised Laws, Chap. 29, Secs. 10 and 1, as amended by Acts of 1910, Chap. 322.
No undertaker or other person shall bury a human body .. . until he has received a permit from the board of health or its agent, . . . or ... from the clerk of the city or town in which the person died; . .. no such permit shall be issued until there shall have been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, . . . a satisfactory written statement con- taining the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which ... shall be accompanied by a satisfactory certificate of the at- tending physician, if any, as required by law, or in lieu thereof a certifi- cate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, the chairman of the board of health, if a physlclan, or any physician employed by sald board or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon application make such certificate as is required of the attending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medical examiner only shall make such certificate. . .. The person to whom the psr- mit is so given and the physician who csrtifies to the use of death shall thereafterfurnish for registration any other necessary information which can be obtainsd as to the dsceased, or as to the manner or cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require. - Revised Laws, Chap. 78, Sec. 38.
Medical examiners shall, in all cases, certify to the city or town clerk or to the city registrar in the place where the deceased died, his name and residence, if known, otherwise a description of such person as full as may be, with the cause and manner of his death, and shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have come to their death by violence. - Revised Laws, Chap. 24, Sec. 8.
-
RULES OF PRACTICE
The fulfilment of the purposs of these laws calls for the observance of the following rules of practice:
(1) Attending physiclans will csrtify to such deaths only as those of persons to whom they have given bedside care during a last illness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.
(2) Board of Health Physicians will certify to such deaths only as thoss of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease unrelated to any form of injury, have died without recent msdical attendance or whose physician is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.
(3) Medical examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths sup- posably due to injury. These include not only death ascd dircetly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septicem ), and by the action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrel agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deaths from disease sulting from injury or infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and thoss of persons found dead.
