Core Tip	In many countries in Southeast Asia systems for recording mortality and causes of death are under development. In such settings, due to large proportions of deaths happening outside of health facilities, verbal autopsy (VA) interviews with families of the deceased are often used to ascertain cause of death. However, there is a need to evaluate the quality of cause of death estimation from VA. This study addresses specifically the assignment of ischemic heart disease as cause of death, concluding that a significant proportion of deaths were assigned this cause using strong evidence.
