Cause of Death
There are a variety of predefined causes of death to choose from. If causes on the predefined lists do not meet your needs, you may enter your own ICD-10 codes by selecting "User-defined causes."
NCHS Leading Causes of Death
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has developed a uniform procedure for ranking causes of death. Using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding structure, 113 selected causes of death were consolidated from the entire ICD-10 coding structure. Of these 113 causes, a subset of 52 rankable causes were selected to rank deaths for individuals older than one year of age. The rankings denote the most frequently occurring causes of death among causes eligible for ranking. Use the globe link to the right for a listing.
How to Specify ICD-10 Codes
Enter the codes with or without the decimal point. Use a hyphen to indicate a range of codes. Use a space or comma between codes.
Note that, for example, P23 includes all codes under P23 (congenital pneumonia), from P23.0 (Congenital pneumonia due to viral agent) to P23.9 (Congenital pneumonia, unspecified). Because the codes are alpha-numeric and not simply numeric, deaths coded simply P23_ [underscore added to show blank space] will not be included in a range from P23.0-P23.9 since P23_ is less than P23.0. P23-P24 would include all codes under P23 and P24.

Primary group by fieldDefines the data's primary grouping dimension. The primary grouping is required and also controls theordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel and other graphing packages this is typically referred to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this value/dimension is associated with table's "row" values. Others will refer to thisvalue as the first "cross by" or the first dimension. | |
|---|---|
Optional secondary group by fieldDefines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series" field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this field is associated with data table's value columns.Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts,like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed tohandle datasets that have more than one group by e.g.they only work with the primary category type group by being specified. | |
Optional chart graphDefines the optional chart graphic to display. NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified. Allother charts will only work with a maximum of 2 groupbys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the seriesgroup by can NOT be used with charting or maps. | |
Optional Map VisualizationDefines the optional map graphic to display. NOTE: Maps are only available when the category is set to a geographical area and does not have a seriesdefined. |
