虽然有关于正确填写死亡证明书死因部分的说明，但一些已公布的例子是有争议的、令人困惑的，或与其他建议和准则不一致。描述了几个这样的例子，以说明需要改进的死亡证明的指示，以提高一致性，准确性和可靠性的死亡统计数据的目标。还讨论了国家生命记录登记员，国家卫生统计中心和世界卫生组织之间的一般关系，在死亡证明文书工作，程序，政策和死亡证明修订方面。由于法医鉴定的死亡人数很多，因此强调需要法医参与修订死亡证明表格和政策。
Although instructions for proper completion of the cause-of-death section of the death certificate are available, a number of published examples are controversial, confusing, or inconsistent with other recommendations and guidelines. Several such examples are described to illustrate the need for improved instructions for death certification, with the goal of improving the consistency, accuracy, and reliability of death statistics. Also discussed is the general relationship between state vital records registrars, the National Center for Health Statistics, and the World Health Organization, in terms of death certification paperwork, procedure, policy, and death certificate revision. Since medical examiners certify substantial numbers of deaths, the need for medical examiners to be involved in revisions of death certificate forms and policies is emphasized.
