Improving the Documentation of Causes of Death Certificates Based on the International Classification of Diseases Perinatal Mortality (ICD‐PM): The Impact of a Mixed Method Approach
The study found that training on ICD-PM for physicians improves their ability to identify the causes of perinatal mortality and maternal conditions. This approach can reduce cases with unknown causes and improve the accuracy of documenting and classifying perinatal mortality causes. These findings can inform interventions to prevent avoidable perinatal deaths.
