Cause of death [US Standard Certificate of Death]

Active

Term Description

The Cause of Death section in the U.S. Standard Certificate of Death consists of two parts. Part I, represented by this LOINC (69453-9), is for reporting the chain of events leading directly to death, including the immediate cause of death followed by the intermediate and underlying causes of death. A given cause of death may be recorded as both intermediate and underlying. The underlying cause of death (the disease or injury that initiated the chain of morbid events that led directly and inevitably to death) must be reported and should be entered last in Part I. Part II of the Cause of Death section LOINC 69441-4 is for reporting all other significant diseases, conditions, or injuries that contributed to death but which did not result in the underlying cause of death.
