Death registration
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=16952&th=7929#msg_16952
Accurate data on mortality and causes of death across all ages is required to guide national policies in relation to demography, and provision of health and care services for current and future population. However, death registrations remain rare in low- and middle-income countries as only 9 per cent of deaths are registered, and only 34 countries have high-quality data on causes of deaths. [ref. WHO, 2012, World Health Statistics]
There is a need to improve availability and coverage of national data on mortality.
The module on Adult health and maternal mortality currently collects information about deaths of respondents' siblings. Therefore HelpAge International requests that the module collects information about:
i. Deaths of any member of the household, and
ii. Whether each death was registered

Did this person have a surgical procedure (including c-section) within 30 days of death.
This is critical to track post-operative mortality and death after c-section]]>JohnMeara2019-03-15T19:00:32-00:00Re: Death registration

This would facilitate the collection of peri-operative mortality.]]>Scott Corlew2019-03-15T20:19:56-00:00Re: Death registration

I belileve the question proposed by Scott Corlew is on point: "Did this person undergo surgery within 30 days of death?"]]>SebastianShu2019-03-15T20:59:11-00:00Re: Death registration

I would also strongly recommend that one more question be asked of all mortality:
Did this person have a surgical procedure (including c-section) within 30 days of death.
This is critical to track post-operative mortality and death after c-section
