This is a label on a blank line to be filled in at the top of a death certificate. I'm thinking this is not "diagnosis" but "cause of death" ???

Diagnosis

In certain cases, the diagnosis may be asked in case of a violent death or other explation.
For instance, a patient may have a cancer and die because of a heart attack.
So, if this line is left blank, you have to translate as "diagnostic"

Les diagnostics inscrits sur les certificats médicaux de décès
sont analysés et codés selon les règles de la classification
internationale des maladies (CIM 8 de 1968 à 1978, CIM 9 de
1979 à 1999 et CIM 10 à partir de 2000). Le codage consiste
pour chaque décès à sélectionner une cause initiale du décès
(selon les règles de la CIM) et à traduire l’ensemble des
causes rapportées en code CIM. Ces codes, saisis sur
console d’ordinateur et vérifiés simultanément, enrichissent le
fichier des données socio-démographiques transmis par
l’Insee. C’est à partir de ce fichier qu’est établie annuellement
la statistique nationale de mortalité.

I uinderstand but a diagnosis involves a deeper procedure than just the cause of death.
"mener des investigations diagnostiques afin d’établir la cause du
décès"

neutral mimi 254 : i wonder if your above comments give you the mandate to DISAGREE so strongly as well as a confidence level of 5!

For you rinformation, I have translated autopsy reports, and, as I said before, the cause of death has to be reinforced by a diagnosis, which is a deeper procedure consisting in confirming the cause of death

cause of death

Since it's about a death certificate, I see no other possibility.

Thank you, Mimi!

Your explanation does not come against my translation, since it's just about a statistic interpretation, not about the logic of the document. Moreover, "cause initiale du décès" seems to be perfectly translatable by "cause of death".
