Validating the InterVA-5 Cause of Death Analytical Tool: Using Mortality Data From the Comprehensive Health and Epidemiological Surveillance System in Papua New Guinea [PDF]

BMJ Open, 2023
Objective InterVA-5 is a new version of an analytical tool for cause of death (COD) analysis at the population level. This study validates the InterVA-5 against the medical review method, using mortality data in Papua New Guinea (PNG).Design and setting ...

Agreement between cause of death assignment by computer-coded verbal autopsy methods and physician coding of verbal autopsy interviews in South Africa [PDF]

Global Health Action, 2023
Background The South African national cause of death validation (NCODV 2017/18) project collected a national sample of verbal autopsies (VA) with cause of death (COD) assignment by physician-coded VA (PCVA) and computer-coded VA (CCVA).

Strengthening Standardised Interpretation of Verbal Autopsy Data: The New InterVA-4 Tool. [PDF]

Global Health Action, 2012
Background: Verbal autopsy (VA) is the only available approach for determining the cause of many deaths, where routine certification is not in place. Therefore, it is important to use standards and methods for VA that maximise efficiency, consistency and

Applying the InterVA-4 Model to Determine Causes of Death in Rural Ethiopia [PDF]

Global Health Action, 2014
Background: In Ethiopia, most deaths take place at home and routine certification of cause of death by physicians is lacking. As a result, reliable cause of death (CoD) data are often not available.

Probabilistic Methods for Verbal Autopsy Interpretation: InterVA Robustness in Relation to Variations in a Priori Probabilities [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
InterVA is a probabilistic method for interpreting verbal autopsy (VA) data. It uses a priori approximations of probabilities relating to diseases and symptoms to calculate the probability of specific causes of death given reported symptoms recorded in a

A comparison of verbal autopsy assignment methods to obtain adult cause-specific mortality in two longitudinal studies in Rakai and Kalungu districts of South Central, Uganda. [PDF]

PLOS Global Public Health
Verbal Autopsy (VA) data determines cause of death (CoD) in settings where certification is lacking, using structured interviews on symptoms and circumstances before death.

Childhood Cause-Specific Mortality in Rural Western Kenya: Application of the InterVA-4 Model [PDF]

Global Health Action, 2014
Background: Assessing the progress in achieving the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals in terms of population health requires consistent and reliable information on cause-specific mortality, which is often rare in resource-constrained countries.

Computer assisted verbal autopsy: comparing large language models to physicians for assigning causes to 6939 deaths in Sierra Leone from 2019–2022 [PDF]

BMC Medicine
Background Verbal autopsies (VAs) collect information on deaths in low and middle-income countries occurring outside healthcare facilities to estimate causes of death (CODs) for use in epidemiological or planning studies.

Comparison of verbal autopsy using a large language model to biologically confirmed causes of death for malaria and other communicable diseases among children in six sub-Saharan African countries [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Malaria, a preventable parasitic disease, causes most child deaths in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Reliable cause-of-death data are essential to evaluate progress toward the national and global malaria control goals.
