| dc.description.abstract | Objective: This research aims to evaluate the registration system for deaths in Turkey, starting from the death records from Çanakkale Province between 2007 and 2012. Material and Method: This study used the death records of Çanakkale Public Health Directorate from the years 2007 to 2012. Within this period, 15,154 causes of death were re-coded using the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System. The data on deaths between 2001 and 2008 was obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TSI). Results: Among the top three causes of death were circulatory and respiratory system diseases and cancers. When the distribution of causes of death in Çanakkale province between 2001 and 2008 is examined, circulatory system diseases are in first place, with cancers in second place. This study, generated by examining the death records of the Public Health Directorate shows that causes of the 20% of the deaths happened in Çanakkale Province between the years 2007 and 2012 are not defined anywhere. With further investigations cardiopulmonary arrest, senility and fate are observed among these causes. Conclusion: With regulation of the death registration system in recent years, there has been some improvement; however, it is observed that there are still significant gaps. Training to develop the knowledge, skills and attitude of clinicians and health managers as regards recording deaths correctly is necessary. There is a need for death records to determine health policies in our country, and they need to be used more, especially by policymakers. © 2016, Nobelmedicus. All rights reserved. | |
