I think explained in this press article.

Covid-19: Backlogged death reports due to manpower constraints https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2021/09/726522/covid-19-backlogged-death-reports-due-manpower-constraints

Referring to the CovidNow portal, Dr Maheshwara, who is also the Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre head of data said reported deaths are based on the day the case was announced to the public.

So far, this is the data the health ministry has been reporting, he said, adding that actual deaths are based on the true date of death.

"In Malaysia, we report deaths 'due to' Covid, rather than deaths 'with' Covid.

"Due to Covid means clinical investigation has found that cause of death (CoD) was Covid.

"Death 'with' Covid means the patient was Covid+ at time of death (or a short period before).

"We focus on deaths 'due to' Covid because it is important to have the correct number for analysis of vaccine effectiveness and case fatality rate.

"However, this takes time, because it requires autopsy and clinical audit (rather than just checking if the patient is Covid+)."

The health ministry, he said decided to report on backlogged data to the Malaysian public to ensure transparency about the death numbers.

"But, it is also vital for us to have a proper picture of the trend - in Klang Valley, deaths are clearly going down, not up (as expected with high vaccination percentage).

"Therefore, the health ministry made a decision to be transparent about both numbers. We are being very clear how many were reported.

"However, we are also categorising the reported cases according to the true date of death, so the rakyat and policymakers can get a proper picture."

Consider rectified I hope.

Excellent list, thanks!

"vaxtype ... s for Sinovax, p for Pyzer, u for ???"

u = most lkely 'unknown'. a = AstraZeneca.

Btw CovidNow uses the term "Daily Actual Deaths (7d average)" which gave 99 for Malaysia yesterday.

DOD = Dead/died of disease. ?

1. Date of death.
2. Date of discharge.
3. Dead/died of disease.

Unknown can be possible because few vaccine clinical trials are undergoing.
