Tracking Health Conditions
Definitions of Mortality Measures
This page provides the code groupings used to define the
mortality-based measures of the priority health conditions. Most
measures use the
underlying cause of death; a few measures use any
mention of the condition (if disease is listed as an underlying or
contributing cause) on the death certificate.
The
International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10)
(exit DHS) is used to code all reported causes
of deaths that occurred in 1999 and later. Deaths that occurred in 1979-1998
were coded using the
International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9)
(exit DHS). Please
refer to the trends analysis caution before interpreting trend changes
between 1998 and subsequent years.
These ICD code groupings follow categories established by the
National Center for Health Statistics, unless otherwise noted.

|
Many people with hypertension may not die from the disease directly, but it may be
reported on the death certificate as a contributing cause. Therefore, any mention of
hypertension as a cause of death is counted in this measure.
|
| COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease |
| Cause of Death |
ICD 10 |
ICD 9 |
|
Chronic and Unspecified Bronchitis |
IJ40-J42 |

(available for 1993 and subsequent years) |
| Cause of Death |
ICD 10 |
ICD 9 |
|
Diabetes Mellitus |
E10-E14 |
250 |
|
Since many diabetes-related deaths result directly from multiple
cardiovascular events, diabetes may be reported as a contributing cause
instead of the underlying cause. Therefore, any mention
of diabetes as a cause of death is counted in this measure. (These codes
do not include gestational diabetes, hyperglycemia NOS, neonatal
diabetes, and non-clinical diabetes.) |
| Alzheimer's disease -
Any Mention (available for 1993 and subsequent years) |
| Cause of Death |
ICD 10 |
ICD 9 |
|
Alzheimer's Disease |
G30 |
331.0 |
|
Many people with Alzheimer's disease may not die from
the disease directly, but it may be reported on the death certificate as
a contributing cause. Therefore, any mention of Alzheimer's disease as a
cause of death is counted. Caution: the number and rate of reported
Alzheimer's disease deaths increased dramatically from 1998 to 1999,
apparently due to the implementation of the IDC-10
coding system (exit DHS) in 1999.

Death certificates collect information on the "place of an
injury (home, street, farm, etc.)." All injury deaths in
which the place of injury is listed as "farm" are included.
These include deaths of farm residents, farm workers, and farm visitors
and all occupational, recreational, and other injuries resulting in
death that occurred on a farm.
