School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Institute of Medicine, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: In contexts where certifying causes of death (COD) is inadequate - either in industrialized or non-industrialized countries - verbal autopsy (VA) serves as a practical method for determining probable COD, helping to address gaps in vital data.
Objective: This study aimed to validate the diagnostic accuracy of medical certifications at a population level by comparing COD obtained from medical records against those derived from VA in Saudi Arabia.
Method: Death records from 2018 to 2021 were collected from a type 2 diabetes mellitus register at a major specialist hospital in Makkah.
