Death certificate should be filled in the following manner:

Immediate Cause of Death- Final complication resulting in death e.g. Cardiorespiratory Arrest
Intermediate Cause - Disease or condition causing the immediate cause of death e.g. Septic Shock
Underlying Cause - The condition present before and leading to the intermediate or immediate cause of death e.g. Immunodeficiency

For children less than 18 years, consent should be given by parents.
