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 bs 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 additionai iine 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, etc. Women at home, who ars 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 employed, 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, ctc. If the occupation has been changed or given up on account of the DISEASE CAUSINO 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. - Namc, first, the DISEASE CAUSING NEATH (the primary affection with respect to time and causation), using always the same accepted term for the same disease. Examples: Cere- brospinal fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidemie cerebrospinal meningitis"); Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup"); Typhoid fever (never report "Typhoid pneumonia"); Lobar pneumonia; Bronchopneumonia ("Pneumonia," unqualified, is 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. The contributory (secondary or inter- current) affection need not be stated uniess important. Example: Measles (discase causing death), 29 ds .; Bronchopneumonia (secondary), 10 ds. Never report mere symptoms or terminal conditions, such as "Asthenia," "Anemia" (mcrcly symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Col- lapse,""Coma,""Convulsions,""Debility" ("Congenital,""Senile," etc.), "Dropsy,""Exhaustion,""Heart failure,""Hemorrhage,""Ina- nition," "Marasmus," "Oid age," "Shock," "Uremia,""Weakness," etc., when a definite discase 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 expianation, as the sole cause of death: Abortion, cellulitis, childbirth, convulsions, hemorrhage, gangrene, gastritis, erysipeias, meningitis, miscar- riage, 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, the disease of which he died [defined so that it can be ciassified under the international classification of causes of death], where contracted, the duration of his iast illness, when iast 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 hs 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 cierk, .. . a satisfactory written statement con- taining the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which ... shali 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 heaith, if a physician, or any physician employed by said board or by the ssiectmen 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 per- mit is so given and the physician who certifies to the cause of death shall thercafter furnish for registration any other necessary information which can be obtained as to the deceased, 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 ali cases, certify to the city or town cierk 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 fuifilment of the purpose of these laws calls for the observancs of the following rules of practice:


(1) Attending physicians will certify to such deaths only as thess of persons to whom they have given bedside care during a iast 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 medicai attendance or whess physician is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.


(3) Medical examiners wili investigate and certify to all deaths sup- posably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septicemia), and by ths action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or clectrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deaths from disease resulting from injury or infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabied by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.
