APPENDIX A.
LIST OF 358 SELECTED CAUSES OF DEATH USED FOR TABULATING MORTALITY STATISTICS,
SHOWING GROUP NUMBER, CAUSE OF DEATH, AND ICD-10 CODES INCLUDED

This list of causes of death for the tabulation and dissemination of mortality data was prepared by the National Center for Health Statistics based on the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) and recommendations by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The purpose of this list of 358 selected causes is threefold: (1) to separately identify causes of death specified by the WHO in its recommended mortality tabulation lists, (2) to the greatest extent possible, to maintain continuity with past lists (ie, NCHS's List of 282 Selected Causes of Death used with ICD-9) for historic continuity and to facilitate trend analysis, and (3) to separately identify causes of death that are of public health and medical importance.
