APPENDIX C.
LIST OF 130 SELECTED CAUSES OF INFANT DEATH
USED FOR TABULATING INFANT 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 infant 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).

This list is used for the analysis of infant mortality and for ranking leading causes of infant death, and contains more detailed titles for Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period and Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities than the List of 358 Selected Causes of Death (see Appendix A). The categories used for ranking leading causes of infant death are marked with a #, and may include one or more group numbers.
