ICD Stands for International Classification of Diseases. It is a coding system maintained by the World Health Organization and the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics used to classify causes of death on death certificates and diagnoses, injury causes, and medical procedures for hospital and emergency department visits. These codes are updated every decade or so to account for advances in medical technology. The U.S. is currently using the 10th revision (ICD-10) to code causes of death. The 9th revision (ICD-9) is still used for hospital and emergency department visits.Leading causes of death are generated from NCHS 50 leading causes.
Data Sources
New Mexico Death Certificate Database, Office of Vital Records and Statistics, New Mexico Department of Health Population Estimates: University of New Mexico, Bureau of Business and Economic Research, http://www.unm.edu/~bber/ National Center for Health Statistics. Postcensal estimates of the resident population of the United States for July 1, 2000-July 1, 2009, by year, county, age, bridged race, Hispanic origin, and sex (Vintage 2009). Prepared under a collaborative arrangement with the U.S. Census Bureau; released June 20, 2010. Available from: www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/bridged_race.htm as of July 23, 2010.Data Issues
Death certificates in New Mexico are required to be filed by funeral directors. Funeral directors obtain demographic information from an informant, a close family member of the decedent. The cause of death is certified by the decedent's physician or the physician that attended the death. Accidental and suspicious deaths are certified by the Office of the Medical Investigator. Death certificate data go through extensive edits for completeness and consistency. The DOH Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics (BVRHS) does annual trainings for funeral directors and local registrars.When death certificates are received the cause of death literals are keyed into software locally by the BVRHS, then shipped to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) where they are machine coded into ICD-10 cause-of-death codes. NCHS returns the ICD-10 codes to BVRHS where the death records are updated.
POPULATION ESTIMATES: Population estimate totals may vary due to rounding. These estimates are considered the most accurate estimates for the state of New Mexico and should match those found on the Bureau of Business and Economic Development website: www.unm.edu/~bber/demograp2.htm.
2000-2010 county intercensal population estimates were re-calculated after the release of the 2010 census, so they will not match earlier 2000 post-censal estimates from UNM BBER.
For the period 1990-1999, the population estimates consist of the NCHS population estimates that had previously been in use on IBIS, and should match those found on the NCHS website: www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/bridged_race.htm.
POPULATION ESTIMATES BY RACE/ETHNICITY: For the 2000-2010 period, the race and ethnicity information necessary to calculate the standard NMDOH bridged race population estimates was not yet available from the U.S. Census Bureau. As a substitute, the current DOH Race/ethnicity population estimates were based on the year/county/age/sex/DOHrace distributions in our 2000-2009 post-censal dataset. (2009 distributions were applied to the 2010 data).
