Abstract

Background

There are few reports on the numbers of anticipated deaths (mitori [看取り]) at home in Japan.

Method

We used the Japanese death certificate system (shiboukohyou [死亡小票]) 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.

日本一个城镇在家中接受医生护理(mitori)的预期死亡:初步报告

关于日本国内预计死亡人数(mitori)的报道很少。方法采用日本死亡证明制度(shiboukohyou)对2020年至2022年间死亡的东野镇居民进行统计，当死亡证明不是由警方推荐的医生撰写时，判定死亡构成mitori。结果756例死亡中，有109例(14.4%)为家庭死亡。家中死亡144人，家中mitori占75.7%。结论:Shiboukohyou似乎提供了家中mitori的数量。死亡证明应该包括一个空间，显示mitori或不。
