Description
Code for the country in which the patient died and where certificate of death is filed. If the patient has multiple tumors, all records should contain the same code. This data item became part of the NAACCR transmission record effective with Volume II, Version 13 in order to include country and state for each geographic item and to use interoperable codes. It supplements the item Place of Death--State [1942]. It replaces the use of Place of Death [1940].
Rationale
Place of death is helpful for carrying out death clearance. When a reporting facility reports a place of death that is outside of the registry’s country, the information can signal a death for which the death certificate will not be available from another state or through the NDI linkage.

    Codes
Use the International Standards Organization (ISO) 3166-1 Country Three Character Codes, whenever possible, augmented by custom codes. See Appendix B for complete list of country names and corresponding three character alpha codes.
