NAACCR XML: Patient.placeOfDeathState



Description

State or Province where the patient died and where certificate of death is filed. 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--COUNTRY [1944]. It replaces the use of PLACE OF DEATH [1940].



Rationale

This field also helps carry out death clearance. When a reporting facility reports a place of death, the information can help in death certificate matching. It can also signal an out-of-state death for which the death certificate is to be requested.





Codes

        Blank Not applicable, patient alive



See Appendix B for numeric and alphabetic lists of places and codes (also see Appendix B of the SEER Program Code Manual at seer.cancer.gov/tools/codingmanuals/index.html).
