International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems
Australia uses the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) to code causes of death (WHO 2019).
In this report, deaths were coded using the Tenth Revision of the ICD (ICD-10) (Table 1).
For hospital diagnoses, a classification modified for Australia, the ICD-10-AM classification (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 11th Revision, Australian Modification) was used (Table 1).
For emergency department diagnoses, a classification modified for Australia, the ICD-10-AM (11th Revision) shortlist was used (Table 1).
