Abstract
Medical causes of death written by a doctor are important to be documented for each death, especially in relation to public health, research, surveys, epidemiology, prevention programs, public safety, medicine, and health administration. This is a retrospective descriptive study that aims to describe the causes of medical death in confirmed Covid-19 deaths, as well as compare the writing of causes of medical death based on the WHO International Classification of Disease (ICD) 10 standard. From this study, it is known that more than half of the information on the medical cause of death form written by doctors still does not comply with the WHO ICD-10 standard. The most common medical causes of death that have a direct impact on the death of confirmed Covid-19 patients was acute respiratory distress syndrome. Writing the cause of death according to the WHO ICD 10 standard is very necessary in obtaining accurate information on deaths related to COVID-19.
