The Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) was recently adopted. To make use of the ICD-10 for the purpose of identifying disease-exposure associations, NIOSH has designed new updates to the life table rate file which are currently being applied to the U.S. rates used for life table analyses. This paper describes the changes to existing rates, and the addition of new cause of death categories including mesothelioma, cancer of the pleura, COPD, unintentional injuries, and terrorism. For LTAS.NET these UCOD rate files are included within the download program. State rates are not included but are available on the Downloads page. For PC-LTAS these UCOD rate files and available others can be found on the PC-LTAS Rate File Downloads page.
