Duration of contributory cause of death

Some of you have found on death certificates a duration for the contributory cause of death. We do not have a field for this. DO NOT enter this information in the duration for the primary cause of death.

We've decided to make it a rule that you should enter the duration for the contributory cause of death in the Remarks field. Enter the information in the following manner:

CONTRIBUTORY DURATION: 5 YEARS 6 MONTHS

CONTRIBUTORY DURATION: MANY YEARS
