First&#44; it facilitates the registration of the death in the registry office&#44; allowing for burial or cremation of the body 24&#8239;h after the death certification&#46; Second&#44; it is an essential statistical document employed by the Spanish National Statistics Institute to determine the causes of death in Spain&#46; The first of these objectives has legal importance because the law clearly mandates the documentation in the certificate of the deceased&#8217;s identity and the time and place of death&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Although properly filling out the entire document is important&#44; correctly documenting the identity&#44; date and location is absolutely required and essential&#46; Errors in these 3 pieces of information can lead to certain problems&#44; including rejection of the document by the registry officer&#44; the need to redo the document&#44; a delay in the burial or cremation process and the consequent harm to the family of the deceased&#46; No less importantly&#44; an error in filling out the certificate could be interpreted as making false statements in a public document&#44; an act that constitutes a criminal offense&#44; although for it to be considered as such there needs to be an intent to falsify the documentation with the goal of achieving some benefit from this&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The new medical certificate of cause of death of the Professional Medical Association &#40;PMA&#41; emerged at the beginning of 2009&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> A certificate that unified the old medical certificate and the statistical death bulletin and introduced a number of changes following the WHO recommendations&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Among these recommendations were the reporting of the sequence of diseases that led to the death and their respective progression times&#59; the inclusion of fields for inserting data to make the information more legible&#59; the incorporation of information on whether the cause of death was violent or accidental and whether a clinical autopsy was performed&#46; In contrast&#44; the certificate removed the option of certifying the identity of the deceased by other people if the deceased had no national ID or passport&#44; and no space was provided to indicate the address where the death took place&#44; as is required by law&#46; Instead&#44; the form provided only a field for indicating whether the death occurred in hospital&#44; at home or at a residence&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Criticisms of the new certificate include the inability to accurately determine the sequence of diseases or pathophysiological disorders that led to the death &#40;especially in the outpatient setting&#41; and the times at which they occurred&#44; often leaving these data blank&#46; There is also no space to indicate the exact location of the death&#44; an essential piece of information required by the civil registry law&#46; There is no space to indicate the accreditation of the deceased by relatives&#44; as appears in the older certificate&#44; a situation allowed for by law when the deceased&#8217;s national ID is not available&#46; There are also superfluous data that can result in confusion&#44; such as the field indicating whether the death was accidental or violent&#44; given that&#44; by definition&#44; a death certificate cannot be signed under these conditions&#59; a legal autopsy needs to be performed in these cases&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the general impression of physicians is that this new certificate is more complicated to fill out and thereby more prone to error&#44; there are few studies that have analyzed the main problems in completing the certificate&#44; the most common errors made and the consequences of these errors&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> The article by Pinto et al&#46; is therefore of considerable importance&#46; This observational descriptive study analyzed the completion of 531 death certificates in the municipality of Madrid&#44; Spain&#44; which included the 2 PMA certificates &#40;before and after 2009&#41; and other death certificates of a number of Madrid hospitals&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this study&#44; the most important completion errors were observed in those hospitals that submitted their own death certificates &#40;a now unusual procedure&#41;&#44; which had mistakes as severe as the incorrect identification of the deceased&#46; These errors were practically absent in the official PMA certificates&#44; although a significant proportion of the new submitted certificates had not filled out the address of the place of death due to the lack of a specific space for this information&#46; Errors were also detected in filling out the time of death&#46; All of these can be considered severe errors and reasons for rejecting the certificate for specifically failing to comply with civil registry legislation&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As expected&#44; the authors observed severe errors in the filling out of epidemiological data&#44; especially in the new death certificate&#44; where the progression time of the patients&#8217; various disease processes were often not filled out&#46; The term &#8220;cardiopulmonary arrest&#8221; was also incorrectly used to refer to the fundamental cause of death&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; correctly filling out the death certificate in cases of natural death is a required task for physicians&#44; and special care needs to be taken in correctly identifying the deceased and the time and place of death&#46; The use of the PMA death certificate helps to properly fill out the information&#44; but a specific space for indicating the place of death needs to be included&#46; Simplifying the statistical data to fill out&#44; especially the progression times of the patients&#8217; diseases&#44; would be advisable&#44; given that its lack of completion in standard practice has been demonstrated&#46; The fields for indicating whether the death was violent or accidental also seem unnecessary and can cause confusion given that a death certificate cannot be filled out if the death has occurred under these circumstances&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Understanding the legal obligations in our clinical practice is an unavoidable responsibility&#46; Training in medical-legal aspects should be included in the training programs during the medical residency and as part of the continuing medical education of all practitioners&#46; This specifically includes knowing exactly how and when to formalize medical-legal documents&#44; not only death certificates but also injury reports&#44; health and disease certificates and legal documents&#46; Work groups on ethical and legal aspects within the various specialties is of considerable importance for this objective&#46;</p></span>"

In contrast&#44; when the death is violent &#40;homicide&#44; suicide or accident&#41; or criminal intent is suspected &#40;including sudden death&#41;&#44; the death certificate is not signed&#46; Instead&#44; the courts will be informed so that a legal autopsy may be performed&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a></p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The medical certificate of cause of death is a medical-legal document that has 2 main objectives&#46; First&#44; it facilitates the registration of the death in the registry office&#44; allowing for burial or cremation of the body 24&#8239;h after the death certification&#46; Second&#44; it is an essential statistical document employed by the Spanish National Statistics Institute to determine the causes of death in Spain&#46; The first of these objectives has legal importance because the law clearly mandates the documentation in the certificate of the deceased&#8217;s identity and the time and place of death&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Although properly filling out the entire document is important&#44; correctly documenting the identity&#44; date and location is absolutely required and essential&#46; Errors in these 3 pieces of information can lead to certain problems&#44; including rejection of the document by the registry officer&#44; the need to redo the document&#44; a delay in the burial or cremation process and the consequent harm to the family of the deceased&#46; No less importantly&#44; an error in filling out the certificate could be interpreted as making false statements in a public document&#44; an act that constitutes a criminal offense&#44; although for it to be considered as such there needs to be an intent to falsify the documentation with the goal of achieving some benefit from this&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The new medical certificate of cause of death of the Professional Medical Association &#40;PMA&#41; emerged at the beginning of 2009&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> A certificate that unified the old medical certificate and the statistical death bulletin and introduced a number of changes following the WHO recommendations&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Among these recommendations were the reporting of the sequence of diseases that led to the death and their respective progression times&#59; the inclusion of fields for inserting data to make the information more legible&#59; the incorporation of information on whether the cause of death was violent or accidental and whether a clinical autopsy was performed&#46; In contrast&#44; the certificate removed the option of certifying the identity of the deceased by other people if the deceased had no national ID or passport&#44; and no space was provided to indicate the address where the death took place&#44; as is required by law&#46; Instead&#44; the form provided only a field for indicating whether the death occurred in hospital&#44; at home or at a residence&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Criticisms of the new certificate include the inability to accurately determine the sequence of diseases or pathophysiological disorders that led to the death &#40;especially in the outpatient setting&#41; and the times at which they occurred&#44; often leaving these data blank&#46; There is also no space to indicate the exact location of the death&#44; an essential piece of information required by the civil registry law&#46; There is no space to indicate the accreditation of the deceased by relatives&#44; as appears in the older certificate&#44; a situation allowed for by law when the deceased&#8217;s national ID is not available&#46; There are also superfluous data that can result in confusion&#44; such as the field indicating whether the death was accidental or violent&#44; given that&#44; by definition&#44; a death certificate cannot be signed under these conditions&#59; a legal autopsy needs to be performed in these cases&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the general impression of physicians is that this new certificate is more complicated to fill out and thereby more prone to error&#44; there are few studies that have analyzed the main problems in completing the certificate&#44; the most common errors made and the consequences of these errors&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> The article by Pinto et al&#46; is therefore of considerable importance&#46; This observational descriptive study analyzed the completion of 531 death certificates in the municipality of Madrid&#44; Spain&#44; which included the 2 PMA certificates &#40;before and after 2009&#41; and other death certificates of a number of Madrid hospitals&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this study&#44; the most important completion errors were observed in those hospitals that submitted their own death certificates &#40;a now unusual procedure&#41;&#44; which had mistakes as severe as the incorrect identification of the deceased&#46; These errors were practically absent in the official PMA certificates&#44; although a significant proportion of the new submitted certificates had not filled out the address of the place of death due to the lack of a specific space for this information&#46; Errors were also detected in filling out the time of death&#46; All of these can be considered severe errors and reasons for rejecting the certificate for specifically failing to comply with civil registry legislation&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As expected&#44; the authors observed severe errors in the filling out of epidemiological data&#44; especially in the new death certificate&#44; where the progression time of the patients&#8217; various disease processes were often not filled out&#46; The term &#8220;cardiopulmonary arrest&#8221; was also incorrectly used to refer to the fundamental cause of death&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; correctly filling out the death certificate in cases of natural death is a required task for physicians&#44; and special care needs to be taken in correctly identifying the deceased and the time and place of death&#46; The use of the PMA death certificate helps to properly fill out the information&#44; but a specific space for indicating the place of death needs to be included&#46; Simplifying the statistical data to fill out&#44; especially the progression times of the patients&#8217; diseases&#44; would be advisable&#44; given that its lack of completion in standard practice has been demonstrated&#46; The fields for indicating whether the death was violent or accidental also seem unnecessary and can cause confusion given that a death certificate cannot be filled out if the death has occurred under these circumstances&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Understanding the legal obligations in our clinical practice is an unavoidable responsibility&#46; Training in medical-legal aspects should be included in the training programs during the medical residency and as part of the continuing medical education of all practitioners&#46; This specifically includes knowing exactly how and when to formalize medical-legal documents&#44; not only death certificates but also injury reports&#44; health and disease certificates and legal documents&#46; Work groups on ethical and legal aspects within the various specialties is of considerable importance for this objective&#46;</p></span>"
