Those deemed invalid are classified as Unknown/missing/invalid COD. Those deemed valid but not meeting the definition of any above grouping are classified as Other Cause of Death. The following documents contain an enumeration of valid ICD-8, ICD-9, and ICD-10 causes of death. '+' This variable can be created with or without Mesothelioma (C45) and Kaposi Sarcoma (C46) as separate groupings. The table above documents both possibilities. Note this is only possible with ICD-10. $ ICD-8 code 192.5 is coded to Other Endocrine including Thymus for age at death <20 years and Soft Tissue including Heart for age at death 20+ years. * External causes of injury and poisoning.
