Alec 7. 1928 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, irre- spective of age. For many occupations a single word or term on the first line will be sufficient, e. g., Farmer or Planter, Physician, Com- positor, Architect, Locomotive engineer, Civil engineer, Stationary fire- man, 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," "Fore- man," "Manager," "Dealer," etc., without more precise specification, as Day laborer, Farm laborer, Laborer-Coal mine, eto. Women at home, who are engaged in the duties of the household only (not paid Housekeepers who receive a definite salary), may be entered as House- wife, Housework, or At home, and children, not gainfully employed, as At school or At home. Care should be taken to report specifically the occupations of persons engaged in domestic service for wages, as Servant, Cook, Housemaid, etc. If the occupation has been changed or given up on account of the DISEASE CAUSING DEATH, state occupa- tion 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 CAUBING DEATH (the primary affection with respect to time and causatien), using always the same accepted term for the same disease. Exam- ples: Cerebrospinal fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis"); Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup"); Typhoid fever (never report "Typhoid pneumonia"); Lobar pneu- monia; Bronchopneumonia ("Pneumonia," unqualified, is indefinite); Tuberculosis of lungs, meninges, peritoneum, etc., Carcinoma, Sarcoma,


eto., of . . .. . (name origin; "Cancer" is less definite; avoid use of "Tumor" for malignant neoplasms); Measles; Whooping cough; Chronic valvular heart disease; Chronic interstitial nephritis, etc. The contributory (secondary or intercurrent) affection need not be stated unless important. Example: Measles (disease causing death), 89 ds .; Bronchopneumonia (secondary), 10 da. Never report mere symptoms or terminal conditions, such as "Asthenia," "Anemia" (merely symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Collapse," "Coma," "Convul- sions," "Debility" ("Congenital," "Senile," etc.), "Dropsy," "Ex- haustion," "Heart failure," "Hemorrhage," "Inanition," "Maras- mus," "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 "PUERPERAL septicemia," "PUERPERAL peritonitis," eto


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 "primary" ; 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: Abortion, cellulitis, childbirth, convulsions, hemorrhage, gangrene, gastritis, erysipelas, meningitis, miscarriage, necrosis, peritonitis, phlebitis, pyemia, septicemia, tetanus.


EXTRACTS FROM THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNING THE RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH


A physician or registered hospital medical officer shall forth- with, 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 registra- tion a standard certificate of death, stating to the best of his knowl- edge and belief the name of the deceased, his supposed age, the disease of which he died, defined as required by section one, where same was contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician or officer and the date of his death. ...- Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.


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 town where 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, in case of an original interment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early enough for the pur- pose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board of health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the attending physician If death ig gouged by viclones, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. .. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying the cause ' of death shall thereafter 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 re- quire .- Gen. Laws, Chap. 114, Sec. 45.


Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence .- Gen. Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6.


... He shall in all cases certify to the town clerk or registrar in the place where the deceased died his name and residence, if known; otherwise a description as full as may be, with the cause and manner of death .- Gen. Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 7.


RULES OF PRACTICE


The fulfilment of the purpose of these laws calls for the observance of the following rules of practice:


(1) Attending physicians will certify 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 those of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease unre- lated to any form of injury, have died without recent medical at- tendance or whose physician is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.


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