Abstract
Death is an inevitable aspect of life, impacting every individual universally. While it cannot be avoided, efforts can be made to delay it and enhance life expectancy. This retrospective study analysed 860 hospital deaths in the year 2022 at Great Eastern Medical School & Hospital, focusing on various epidemiological and chronological factors. The highest number of deaths occurred in the age group of 60- 70 years, while the lowest number of deaths were recorded in the age group of 10-20 years. A higher incidence of deaths was observed in medical branches compared to surgical branches. The common diagnoses leading to death were cerebrovascular accidents and chronic kidney disease, with septic shock and multiorgan dysfunction identified as the predominant cause of death.
