Injury Mortality Data

Proposed matrix table with assignment of E codes for injury mortality data. Excerpted from the MMWR Recommendations and Reports, August 29, 1997, Volume 46/NORR-14. For questions contact Lois Fingerhut, Lee Annest, or Elizabeth McLoughlin

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.
