居民病伤死亡原因统计是反映居民健康水平及其变动情况的一项重要的统计工作。临床医生填报“死亡报告单”多将“死亡原因”一栏填为脑疝、呼吸衰竭、循环衰竭…,而死亡统计中却需要填写的是引起产生脑疝等的原因或疾病。建议将所概念内涵不清的“死亡死因”一栏改成“死因诊断”或“死亡病名”,这与卫生部现行的居民病伤死因分类仍相一致。建议将实足年龄改为出生年月日或二者并存更好 The statistical analysis of death causes of residents’ diseases is an important statistical work that reflects the health conditions of residents and their changes. The clinician fills in the “Death Report” and most often fills in the column “Cause of Death” as cerebral palsy, respiratory failure, and circulatory failure. The death statistics need to be filled with causes or diseases that cause cerebral palsy. It is suggested that the “death cause of death” column with the notion clearly defined be changed to “diagnosis of cause of death” or “death name of death”, which is consistent with the classification of the current cause of death for residents of the Ministry of Health. It is recommended to change the chronological age to the date of birth or both to better coexist
