Civil registration and vital statistics systems (CRVS), when functioning properly, are the most reliable source of continuous data on fertility, mortality and causes of death. Cause-specific mortality statistics by age, sex and geographic location, derived from such systems are instrumental in guiding national, regional and global policies and priorities for health and development. One of the most challenging products of the CRVS is cause-of-death information. The level of registration of deaths in some countries may be high but the information on the cause of death is often either absent or of low quality. Overall only around one-third of all the deaths in the world are recorded in civil registries with the cause-of-death information. There is a huge disparity in generating cause-of-death information across continents. Starting to collect causes of death in places in line with ICD, where the cause of death can be assessed by a physician, in hospitals, will help to build a core of knowledge that can already provide health information and be used as a resource to roll out cause of death collection and coding in the country where resources permit. This start-up mortality list will simplify the process of introducing ICD, using a simplified set of mortality rules, but drawing on the same principles and form. Information technology will further assist in coding, tabulation and analysis of data, as much as the transition to (or simultaneous use of) the full ICD-10.It is designed to be in line with the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10), and informs in setting public health priorities and tracking progress towards national and international targets and goals such as the post-2015 health and development agenda. This list is designed to be a first step toward standardized reporting of causes of death. (Refer to Appendix A for the SMoL List.)BackgroundThe International Classification of Diseases (ICD),published by WHO,was first developed as a classification system of causes of death. It was used for the preparation for mortality (the incidence of death in a population) statistics and until 1948 was used solely for cause of death coding. It is a statistical classification that groups similar diseases into mutually exclusive categories using an alphanumeric code. Later, the scope of the ICD was extended to include diagnoses in morbidity. It also provides a system to enable international monitoring and comparison. The ICD consists of three volumes:Volume 1 – Tabular listVolume 2 – Instructions and guidelines manualVolume 3 – Alphabetical index.(Refer to Appendix C for more information on the ICD volumes.)It is possible for a person to die as a result of several conditions, all at the same time. Thus causes of death was defined by the Twentieth World Health Assembly (1967) as:“All those diseases, morbid conditions or injuries which either resulted in or contributed to death and the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced any such injuries”.The underlying cause of death is most important for statistical comparison and public health data. WHO has defined the underlying cause of death as:“I (a) the disease or injury which initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death;or(b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury.”Once a death has been correctly certified by a medically trained person, the cause of death has to be coded correctly according to international rules and standards. The correct and consistent application of ICD standards and rules ensures that cause of death patterns can be compared for different populations or over time in the same population.The Structure of the SMoLThe SMoL is based on the ICD general mortality tabulation list, with the addition of categories for maternal and perinatal deaths, and specific conditions that are useful for assisting with Global Burden of Disease (GBD). The List has the following columns:Reference to ICD-10 chapter – the relevant ICD-10 chapter is listed hereCode – the SMoL code to be assignedCause of death – the list of grouped conditions that are the cause of deathOptional subcategory – more specific detailed subcategoriesCoding hints – exclusion and inclusions directives for codersUse of the SMoLThe cause(s) of death are reported on a standard WHO medical certificate of cause of death. Reported causes, age, sex, location and the code of the underlying cause of death are recorded for every individual case. The underlying cause is selected following a set of simple rules that makes sure the tabulated data can be compared with information that is coded using the full ICD-10.Ideally, wherever capacity exists or completeness of reporting is sufficient, the full ICD-10 should be used, ideally in combination with electronic coding tools. However, a start-up list of causes of death can deliver data in a timely manner and keep the burden of implementing a coding system low in new mortality systems. As the SMoL is fully compatible with ICD-10, expansion into more detail at a later stage is easily possible. This compatibility also facilitates comparison of collected data with other sources.Data flowThe data collection process for causes of death is similar to the one of discharge reports.International Medical Certificate of Cause of DeathThe certificate is the main source of mortality data. Information on the certificates is best provided by an experienced medical practitioner who is well informed about the medical history of the dead person, and has carefully carried out an examination of the decedent. In the case of accidents or violent deaths, additional input may come from a coroner or other legal official. In some jurisdictions, another official (who may not be medically trained) is responsible for the completion of the medical certificate of cause of death. In circumstances where no physician or other trained official can attend the dead person, a certificate may also be based on verbal autopsy data (lay reporting) or another form of data collection.This certificate consists of: Administrative data:Used for collecting information on sex, date of birth and date of death. It can be modified to suit the needs of the country.Frame A: Medical data Part 1 and 2Part 1:used for causes related to the sequence of events leading directlyto thedeath. It is a step-by-step summary of the train of events leadingto death, with the originating cause on the lowest used line and the direct cause on the first line.Part 2:used for conditions that do not belong to the sequence but still contributedto death, for example by impairing the patient’s generalcondition.Frame B:Other medical dataused for collecting additional information on:surgeryif performedautopsyif performedmanner of deathplace of occurrence of the external causefetal and infant deathsmaternaldeathsNot all the detailed information asked for may be available. Hospital records will usually have this information, as it is also retained for medical purposes.Causes of death should be collected using the international form for medical causes of death wherever possible:Administrative Data (can be further specified by country)Sex FORMCHECKBOX Female FORMCHECKBOX Male FORMCHECKBOX UnknownDate of birthDDMMYYYYDate of deathDDMMYYYYFrame A: Medical data: Part 1 and 21Report disease or condition directly leading to death on line aReport chain of events in due to order (if applicable)State the underlying cause on the lowest used lineCause of deathTime interval from onset to deathabDue to:cDue to:dDue to:2 Other significant conditions contributing to death (time intervals can be included in brackets after the condition)Frame B: Other medical dataWas surgery performed within the last 4 weeks?

FORMCHECKBOX Yes FORMCHECKBOX No FORMCHECKBOX UnknownElectronic Cause of Death Entry FormAn electronic Cause of Death entry form has been designed to assist with the collection of the UCOD and the subsequent assignment of the SMoL codes. EXAMPLE:It follows the general format of the medical certificate of cause of death and includes a drop down box in Part 1 to assist with the entering of the required information for each field.The drop down list will show the shortest matching entry first, as sometimes there may be many possible matches. Continuing to add detail (if available) will shorten the list for easier reading, otherwise browse the list for the matching entry. If a term is not available, select the closest one and inform central data management so that the list can be updated.EXAMPLE:Part 2 is completed using free text.For fields 1a-1d only one condition can be entered. If multiple conditions are reported on one line, check with the Doctor for the main one. If this is not possible select the first mentioned condition. Once the information has been entered into the various fields, the coder MUSTtick the condition that is the underlying cause of death. If this is not completed the system cannot process the certificate.EXAMPLE:Part 3 captures information via drop down lists for the following:Manner of death e.g. disease, assault accident etc.Fetal or infant deathWhether the women was pregnantTime from pregnancyWhether pregnancy contributed to the deathRules and Guidelines for Selecting the Underlying Cause of Death (UCOD)The ICDprovides a set of rules to ensure the selection of the UCODis done the same way everywhere, and data that has been generated in different places is comparable.ICD rules are very detailed and can be found in Volume 2 of ICD-10.Rules for selecting the UCOD when using the electronic Cause of Death Entry form and the SMoL.As the ICD rules are very detailed, a set of simplified rules (based on the ICD set of rules) has been developed to be followed when the SMoL is used for coding the UCOD. Following these rules will ensure comparability with data on an international and local basis. Following the SMoL Rules (SR) will assist the coder in the selection of the correct UCOD. Generally the order or hierarchy to use when identifying the UCOD will be:Injuriesby external causesas cause of deathMaternal cause of deathPerinatal cause of deathInfection as cause of deathMalignancy as cause of deathSpecific body system condition as cause of deathCertain conditions that may not be used as single underlying cause of death.These include:Organic, including symptomatic disordersOrganisms (Select the condition caused by the organism)Visual impairment (If listed as a cause of an accident, select the accident)Hearing loss (If listed as a cause of an accident, select the accident)Multiple gestation (Look for a more precise cause of death)SIRS (Look for a more precise cause of the SIRS)Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (Select the cause of the injury, poisoning or accident as the underlying cause of death. See SR8.)Factors influencing health status and contact with health services (e.g. visit for vaccination, amputation status, past history of cancer etc.)If any of these have been listed on the certificate and another cause cannot be determined, then the person responsible for filling in the certificate should be asked for clarification.SMoL RulesGeneral rules:SR1 – Single cause listedWhen only one condition is reported on the certificate, in Part 1 or Part 2, select this as the underlying cause of death and tick the box in the column “underlying”.SR2 – Multiple causes listedIf there is more than one condition reported in Part 1 usually the lowest used line in 1a-1d will be the underlying cause.SR3 – Multiple causes on the same lineIf there are multiple entries on one line ask the doctor which is the relevant one.If this is not possible, only enter the first one.SR4 – Implausible sequenceIf the sequence of listed conditions looks strange, (e.g. hypertension causing metastases) refer back to the doctor that completed the certificate for clarification. If this is not possible, code the first line from the top that is plausible.SR5 – Consistency between sex and diagnosisIf the underlying cause conflicts with the sex of the decedent, then refer back to thedoctor. If this is not possible, and the underlying cause is fully incompatible then enter on the lowest line “Other ill-defined and unspecified causes of mortality” and chose this as the underlying cause.SR6 –Nonspecific modes of dyingDo not select modes of dying such as - “cardiac arrest”, “heart failure”, or “respiratory failure” – as the underlying cause if any other condition is mentioned on the form.SR7 – Selecting precise termsIf the underlying cause on the lowest used line describes a condition in general terms and another term is reported on the certificate that provides more precise information about the site or nature of this condition, select this more precise term as the underlying cause.Rules for injuries by external causes:SR8 – Accident, poisoning or violenceIf there is an accident, poisoning, or violence mentioned in 1a-1d, then find out the cause of the accident, poisoning or violence and select this as the underlying cause.NOTE: Do not select the injury, you must add an external cause and if not known put ‘unknown external cause’.SR9 – SuicideIf in 1a-1d there is a mention of suicide select this as the underlying cause.Rules for Maternal deaths:SR10 – Mention of a pregnancy conditionIf there is a mention of pregnancy on the form, and the tick box confirms that the pregnancy influenced the death, the underlying cause of death must be from the section Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium.SR11 – No mention of a pregnancy conditionIf there is a mention of pregnancy on the form, and the tick box confirms that the pregnancy influenced the death, but no pregnancy condition is mentioned on lines 1a-1d, then enter on the lowest line “Indirect obstetric death” and choose this as the underlying cause.Rules for Perinatal deaths:SR12 – General rule for UCOD for perinatal deathsFor neonatal or fetal deaths, the underlying cause of death must be from the section certain conditions originating in the perinatal period, except in cases of external causes and related injuries.SR13 – Mother’s condition mentioned as UCODFor neonatal or fetal deaths, if there is a mention of a condition of the mother on the lowest used line of 1a-1d, then enter on the lowest line in 1a-1d “Fetus and newbornaffected by maternal factors” and select this as the underlying cause.SR14 – Low birth weight and prematurityFor neonatal or fetal deaths, when both low birth weight and prematurity are mentioned, priority is to be given to low birth weight.Rules for infections:SR15 – Infections to be selected as UCODIf any of the following infections are mentioned in 1a-1d, select this as the underlying cause, no matter what is written on the lowest used line:ChagasPlagueCholeraPoliomyelitisDengueRubellaDiphtheriaScarlet feverHepatitis A, B or C, acute or chronicTetanusLeishmaniasisTrachomaLeprosySmallpoxMalariaViral haemorrhagic fever (Ebola)MeaslesWhooping coughMeningococcal diseaseYellow feverSR16 - Infections to be selected as UCOD except when HIV mentionedIf any of the following infections are mentioned in 1a-1d, select this as the underlying cause:Consequences of tuberculosisShigellosesParatyphoidTuberculosisSalmonellaTyphoidEXCEPTION: If the line below any of the above mentions HIV, select HIV as the underlying cause. SR17 – HIV and TuberculosisIf HIV is mentioned and the line above mentions Tuberculosis, then correct the entry and type “HIV with Tuberculosis”.Rules for neoplasms (cancer, tumour):SR18 – General rule for selecting neoplasms as UCODIf there is a mention of a cancer in1a-1d select the cancer as the underlying cause. EXCEPTION: If the cancer is reported as due to HIV, select HIV as the underlying cause.Rules for body system specific conditions:SR19 – Diabetes mellitusIf there is a mention of Diabetes mellitus in 1a-1d, select the diabetes mellitus as the underlying cause. EXCEPTION: If Diabetes is due to pancreatitis, then select pancreatitis as the underlying cause.SR20 – Dehydration and diarrhoeal conditionsIf there is a mention of dehydration in 1a-1d and also mention of any diarrhoeal condition anywhere on the form, add the diarrhoeal condition on the lowest line and select this as the underlying cause.SR21 – Cancer and certain cardiovascular conditionsIf cancer is recorded on the lowest used line and there ismention of either Hypertension, Anginapectoris,Ischemic heart disease orArteriosclerosis, on any of the lines above the cancer, select either Hypertension, Anginapectoris, Ischemic heart diseaseorArteriosclerosis as the underlying cause. SR22 – InfluenzaIf there is mention of Influenza in 1a-1d, select Influenza as the underlying cause.SR23 – Pneumonia, Dementia and Mental retardationIf there is a mention of Pneumonia, Dementia or Mental retardation without anything entered on the line below, ask the doctor, if possible, for the cause of death and enter that in the line below and select it as the underlying cause. If no further information is available select the mentioned condition as the underlying cause.SR24 – Embolism, Decubitus ulcer, Cystitis, Urinary infection and CachexiaIf there is a mention of embolism, decubitus ulcer, cystitis, urinary infection or cachexia on the lowest used line (or they are mentioned as the only entry) then ask the doctor, if possible, for the cause of death. Enter that condition and select it as the underlying cause. If no further information is available select the mentioned condition as the underlying cause.SR25 – SurgeryIf surgery is mentioned on the lowest used line, and a surgical condition is mentioned somewhere on the certificate (e.g. infection, tumour, injury) select the surgical condition as the underlying cause. If the surgical condition is an injury, then check the cause of the injury (ask the doctor, if possible), and add that to the list and select the cause of the injury as the underlying cause.SR26 – Signs and SymptomsIf a sign or symptom is mentioned in 1a-1d, check with the doctor if there is a more specific condition and enter this condition and select it as the underlying cause. If this is not possible, just select the sign or symptom as the underlying cause.SMoL rules with examplesThe following provides examples of how to apply the SMoL Rules. Exercises to reinforce the application of these rules are located in section 13 of this manual.Examples – General Rules:SR1 – Single cause listedWhen only one condition is reported on the certificate, in Part 1 or Part 2, select this as the underlying cause of death and tick the box in the column “underlying”.Cause of deathTime interval from onset to deathUnderlyingDisease or condition directly leading to deathImmediateAStroke√Report chain of events in “due to” order (B-D) if applicableState the underlying cause on the lowest used lineDue toBDue toCDue toDSR2 – Multiple causes listedIf there is more than one condition reported in Part 1 usually the lowest line in 1a-1d will be the underlying cause.Cause of deathTime interval from onset to deathUnderlyingDisease or condition directly leading to deathImmediateAHepatic failureReport chain of events in “due to” order (B-D) if applicableState the underlying cause on the lowest used lineDue toBBile duct obstructionDue toCCarcinoma of head of pancreas√Due toDIn other words the carcinoma of the head of the pancreas recorded on the lowest used line (in this case, line c) will be the underlying cause of death.SR3 – Multiple causes on the same lineIf there are multiple entries on one line ask the doctor which is the relevant one.If this is not possible, select the first one mentioned.Cause of deathTime interval from onset to deathUnderlyingDisease or condition directly leading to deathImmediateAPernicious anaemia and gangrene of foot√Report chain of events in “due to” order (B-D) if applicableState the underlying cause on the lowest used lineDue toBDue toCDue toDIf it is not possible get clarification from the doctor then then select pernicious anaemia as the underlying cause.SR4 – Implausible sequenceIf the sequence of listed conditions looks strange, (e.g. hypertension causing metastases) refer back to the doctor that completed the certificate for clarification.

On the mortality dashboard open “Apps” from the top menu and select “event capture”. There may be a short delay while the system is loading. Once loaded click “register event”. “New Event” will appearwith a mandatory box for date of death. The date needs to be entered to open the form itself.There are 3 sections: information on the deceased, causes and manner of death (medical data) and cause-of-death coding (coding automatic).As information is being entered, some boxes will be irrelevant and blocked. For example, if there is a date of birth, then it is not possible to click on “Birth date unknown”.1. Information on the deceased:Enter information on the sex, date of birth and date of death. However if the date of birth is unknown, check the box “Birth date unknown” and provide an estimated age if possible. Check box “Age under 24 hours”will apply tonewborns.2. Causes and manner of death (medical data):Enter all the listed conditions from the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death in the same order as written by the certifier. Drop down lists enable the selection of possible matching conditions.However if a condition is not found in the drop down list, then select [NOT LISTED] from the same drop down list.A new box will open below where you can type the condition.Manner of death: Select as appropriateSections on Fetal or infant death or maternal death will need to be completed depending on the information on the deceased entered earlier.Then apply the SMoL Rules for selecting the UCOD.Once the underlying cause of death has been selected, verify this selection in the SMoL (See Appendix A) to see if there are any “excludes” notes that point to a more suitable entry on the form. If so add this entry to the form and select it as the underlying cause.3. Cause-of-death coding (coding automatic):This section is for official use only and cannot be modified. The coding is done automatically in the background by the system at set intervals, and the boxes will normally be empty during data entry. However, when editing an existing event, the result of the coding might be visible in the boxes.?Whether there is data visible or not in this section does not influence the data entry.Do not forget to check the box “Completed” and put any comments in the box “Comments”, then click on “Save and add new”.EXERCISES1.Are the following conditions in bold acceptable underlying causes of death?CONDITIONAcceptableNot AcceptableE Coli as a cause of a urinary tract infectionCaesarean section deliveryPoisoned by a snake biteVisual impairment resulting from eye cancerFractured leg from a fall out of a treeWhich is the underlying cause of death in these example?

has 22 chapters, most of which are related to specific body systems (e.g. Diseases of the circulatory system). The chapters not specific to a body system include six specialty chapters where the listed conditions can occur over multiple body system (e.g. Infectious and parasitic diseases). There is also a separate chapter for external causes of morbidity and mortality.Each chapter is divided into blocks of related conditions which are then subdivided into three-character categories and four-character subcategories. Codes are alphanumeric with a letter being used for the first character and numerals for the second and subsequent characters.Volume 2 – Instructions and guidelines manualVolume 2 of the ICD-10 is the key to understanding the rules and regulations that govern the classification of conditions. It provides guidance on the use of Volumes 1 and 3, and on the rules of mortality and morbidity codingVolume 3 – Alphabetical indexVolume 3 of the ICD is a comprehensive alphabetical index of all the diseases and conditions found in the full tabular list of Volume 1. It contains far more diagnostic terms than the tabular list, reflecting the wide variety of ways in which clinicians describe diseases. Volume 3 consists of:? Section I – an alphabetical listing of terms relating to diseases, nature of injury, reasons for contact with health services and to the factors influencing a person’s health;? Section II – an alphabetical listing of external causes of injury, morbidity and mortality;? Section III – an alphabetically arranged table of drugs and chemicals.Appendix D– ReferencesWHO WEBSITE FOR ICD Online Training Tool E – Common AbbreviationsMedical certifiers are strongly advised NOT to use abbreviations as there is the possibility for ambiguous meanings.
