CAUSE OF DEATH: HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVES OF DEATH CERTIFICATION

Abstract: Assigning a cause of death is required on death certificates in every UN member state. Cause of death information informs national and global mortality trends, which influences research, policy, and public health initiatives. Death certification procedures for documenting cause(s) of death first emerged in the context of infectious disease pandemics. They have since been refined with ongoing revisions to the World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Disease, now in its 11th edition (ICD-11). This talk explores the history of death certification and its legacy in current practice. I suggest that 1) the changing nature of death and disease, and 2) increasing causal knowledge about health and disease mechanisms, are not adequately reflected in current WHO guidelines and corresponding medical practice.
