CONTRIBUTING CAUSES OF DEATH

 

Part II is for reporting “Other significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause given in Part I.”  This includes risk factors that contributed to death.  Part II may be left blank if there were no contributing causes.  

 

Part II may contain one or several conditions.  If several conditions are reported, try to list them in the order of their significance. 

 

You don’t have to identify the “interval” or duration between the onset of Part II conditions and death.
