I think this should be absolutely necessary for those suspected of dying from a stroke. Putting stroke on the death certificate is completely stupid. You didn't die from the stroke, you died from the damage to your brain. And if you never correlate damage to death you will never be able to tell if changes in interventions could have saved your life. It is the exact same reason that old age is not allowed on death certificates anymore. With no factual basis of why you died you can never fix the problems. A great stroke association would be able to change this custom. But we have jackshit for stroke associations right now. And for some reason their boards of directors are ok with that.
