Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to improve the quality of death notification forms (DNFs) at Assiut University Children Hospital (AUCH) to enhance mortality statistics and public health efforts, particularly since Egypt has low-quality death registration data according to WHO.
- A quasi-experimental design provided training on the accurate reporting of causes of death for 100 residents, alongside a six-month audit of DNFs to improve knowledge and reporting accuracy.
- Results showed a significant increase in knowledge among physicians and reduced errors in DNFs, notably a decrease in incorrect reporting of death mechanisms from 90% to 18%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the training and auditing intervention.
