SAS code used to program the Framework for Injury
Mortality and Morbidity Data. (Please cut and paste the SAS codes provided into your SAS
programs. The recodes provided are for use with 1979-1998 NCHS Public Use Mortality
data tapes.) They have also been modified for use with morbidity
data coded to ICD-9-CM data through 2001.
NOTE: "--" represents categories in
which no E codes are assigned.
*Includes legal intervention (E970-E978) and operations of war (E990-E999). tThree fourth-digit codes (.4--"occupant of streetcar,"
.5--"rider of animal," and .8--"other specified person") are not
separated because of the minimal number of deaths in these categories. However,
because they are included in the overall "Motor Vehicle Traffic" category, the
sum of these categories can be derived by subtraction. §This parenthetical notation implies that the decimal should be applied to
each individual three-digit E code in the grouping. ¶Adverse effects have been excluded from the "all
injury" category but are included in the "all external causes" category.
**Includes a) adverse effects to patients during surgical and medical care and b) surgical
and medical procedures as the cause of abnormal reactions or later complications without
mention of negative events at the time of procedure. ttIncludes drugs and medicinal and biological substances causing adverse
effects when used therapeutically.
