I fully support including questions that enable death registration, especially with regard to JohnMeara's recommendation to capture data on surgical procedures that may have been performed within 30 days of death, such as c-section, or surgery for trauma care such as fracture reduction, laparotomy or neurosurgical procedures for evacuating intracranial hematomas (epidural, subdural or intraparenchymal) after traumatic brain injury. These surveillance data will be a key aspect of improving health system performance as it relates to emergency and essential surgical care.

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
