(Updated October 2002 to include ICD codes for Terrorism Deaths (2001) and WHO updates to ICD-10 (2003)). I. INTRODUCTION. A. Purpose of This Manual This manual presents the Lists of causes of death for tabulation and dissemination of Mortality data by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) under the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases ( ICD-10 ) recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO)(1).

7 NCHS. began using this manual for data year 1999. A total of eight (8) tabulation Lists are described. Seven (7) of the Lists are used for both underlying and multiple causes of death , and one for multiple causes of death only. The tabulation Lists in this report have been developed to maintain continuity with the Lists from the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9)(2); to facilitate trend analysis; and to separately identify causes of death that are of public health and medical importance.

8 Periodically, NCHS Instruction Manuals are updated in order to correct errors and to reflect needed modifications dictated by changes in medical science, statistical practice and processing technology. This update represents the fourth to the Lists that are used by NCHS to present Mortality data and include the addition of ICD-10 codes for Terrorism Deaths for data year 2001 and WHO updates to ICD-10 for data year 2003. States and other federal agencies and organizations using the NCHS Lists should incorporate these changes as soon as possible.

9 All changes listed in the Notices of Change have been incorporated into this updated version of the manual (see Appendices A-D). B. Changes from the WHO Tabulation Lists , Ninth Revision The WHO tabulation Lists of ICD-9 have been replaced in ICD-10 by more detailed Lists of two types; condensed and selected. The condensed Lists are the Mortality Tabulation List 1, General Mortality , Condensed list (Table H) and the Mortality Tabulation List 3, Infant and child Mortality , Condensed list (Table J). These Lists provide categories for each ICD chapter and also, within most chapters, identify the categories of the selected Lists together with residual categories entitled Remainder of.

10 , which complete the coverage of the respective chapter. 1. Mortality Tabulation List 2, General Mortality , Selected list (Table I) and Mortality Tabulation List 4, Infant and child Mortality , Selected list (Table K), contain categories within most ICD-10 chapters for conditions and external causes significant for monitoring and analyzing population health status and Mortality - related health concerns at both national and international levels. Chapter totals are not provided and only a few chapters have residual rubrics that enable such totals to be obtained.
