We can no longer rely on modeled estimates for cause of death. In order to truly understand the global burden of disease, and thus understand how to address it, data on actual cause of deaths needs to be collected. This is an extremely important measure to include in the DHS survey as it is many researchers focus to understand and ameliorate premature death. Specific focus should be placed on death attributable or treatable by surgery, as this is an active and growing field of study with potential to decrease total death rates.
