Less than 1% of asthma-related mortality records used both J45 and J46 ICD-10 codes as causes. Infection (predominantly pneumonia) was more commonly reported as a contributing cause of death when J45 was the primary coded cause, compared to J46, which specifically denotes asthma attacks.#...

Evaluates the comparability of underlying cause of death codes obtained from the National Death Index (NDI) Plus, with codes assigned by two study nosologists or by a National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) nosologist. Review of the death certificates of 493 decedents by the a two study...
Causes of death Our study population contained all decedents in Norway in between 2009 and 2013, drawn from CDR. From this registry, we retrieved information on cause of death, coded as an individual’s underlying cause of death using ICD-10 codes [21]. Data on underlying cause of death wa...
VA-based causes of death were derived for 6,328 out of 7,340 deaths in the study sample that had occurred outside hospitals, constituting the verification arm of the study. The use of VA resulted in large-scale reassignment of deaths from ill-defined categories to specific causes of death....
Death registration systems in Thailand have improved greatly over the past two decades. In 2005, the national death registration system recorded just more than 395,000 deaths, about 100,000 more than a decade earlier [1]. However, since the majority of deaths (about 65%) in Thailand occur ...
The study sample included all adult Aboriginal people who lived and died in the Northern Territory in 1992, excluding residents of the Alice Springs region. The appropriateness of underlying cause of death codes was assessed by a single reviewer in light of death certificates, medical records, ...
Mortality data obtained from death certificates have been studied to explore causal associations between diseases. However, these analyses are subject to collider and reporting biases (selection and information biases, respectively). We aimed to assess to what extent associations of causes of death estim...
The high mortality of hip fracture patients is well documented, but sex- and cause-specific mortality after hip fracture has not been extensively studied. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate mortality and cause of death in patients after hip fracture surgery and to compare their mor...
