ABSTRACT
Background:
There are few reports on the numbers of anticipated deaths (mitori [ã]) at home in Japan.Method:
We used the Japanese death certificate system (shiboukohyou []) for Toyono town citizens who died between 2020 and 2022 and judged a death to constitute mitori when the certificate was not written by a doctor referred from the police.Results:
Among 756 deaths, 109 (14.4%) were mitori at home. Deaths at home were 144 and mitori at home accounted for 75.7%.Conclusion:
Shiboukohyou appear to provide numbers of mitori at home. Death certificate should include a space which shows mitori or not.
