Every case will be coded for assigning underlying cause of death, antecedent causes and timing of death by trained and certified physicians. A WHO standard software and coding protocol will be used by these physicians to assign causes of death. The data collected through tablets will be sent to the central server. The narratives of every case will be collected on paper and a scan of the narrative will be sent along with the data. This entire data will be uploaded on the physician coding software from which the verbal autopsy cases will be allotted to physicians for coding. Each case will be independently coded by two physicians and in case of mismatch in the underlying cause of death between the two physicians, a third physician will independently code for the cause of death. Finally, if none of the three underlying causes of death match, a higher level physician arbitrator will resolve the case - this will be done to minimize unclassified deaths. A physician coordinator, who has extensive prior experience of coding verbal autopsy data will oversee the entire process and resolve issues with the help of supervisors of the data collection team. All the cases will be de-identified before uploading on the software for coding.
