Death certificates from Dhaka National Medical Collage Hospital were retrieved and reviewed for the period 1st January to 31st December 2014 in this cross sectional study. Data were collected using a data collection form designed for the study. The average death rate was 6.8 deaths per 1000 patients based on the number of patients admitted during the study period. The age of the deceased ranged from 15-85 years, with a mean of 49.1 ± 18.6 years. Total number of death 74, where 30 (40.5%) are male, and 44 (59.5%) are female. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Hepatic Encephalopathy, Acute Gastro Enteritis (AGE), Cancer (Bronchogenic carcinoma) and infection were the top 10 most common causes of death and were responsible for 61.2% of all recorded deaths.
