Death MICA Causes - ICD-10 Codes
The grouping of diagnoses and events into cause categories is based on specifications from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The specifications are published in "Deaths: Final Data for 2014," National Vital Statistics Reports, vol. 65 no.4. National Center for Health Statistics, 2016 and in annual updates.
The 27 causes at the left margin in the table below are the “Major Items” in the Death MICA's “Choose Your Data” section. The indented causes are the “Intermediate Items” within the wider categories; to see them, click on the plus sign next to the corresponding “Major Item.”
The symbol “#” indicates causes which are rankable for choosing leading causes of death.
NOTE: Codes given in three digits below include all possible four-digit values within them.
For example, "A16" includes A16 and A16.0 through A16.9.

Generally, the overwhelming majority of maternal deaths occur during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of delivery. All rates in the Death MICA, including those for this cause, are expressed per 100,000 population. However, maternal death rates are typically per 100,000 live births; live birth counts are available in the Birth MICA. |
