The Chronic Disease Death MICA is a subset of the Death MICA, with causes chosen and arranged for convenience in studying the burden of chronic diseases on Missouri residents. Two differences in arrangement are that Asthma, a subset of chronic lower respiratory diseases, is listed separately here, and that Aortic aneurysm/dissection, a “Major Item” in the Death MICA, is grouped with “Other cardiovascular/circulatory conditions” here.

This MICA does not include all chronic conditions. The focus is on conditions which cause a large number of deaths and those most subject to prevention efforts.

As in the Death MICA, 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 twelve causes at the left margin in the table below are “Major Items” in the Chronic Disease 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.”

NOTE: Codes given as three digits below include all possible four-digit values within them.

For example, "G30" includes G30 and G30.0 through G30.9.

J40 – J47

 

 

Bronchitis, chronic and unspecified

I11

 

 

Hypertensive heart and renal disease

I13

 

 

Acute myocardial infarction

I21 - I22

These four categories together constitute
“Ischemic heart disease.”

 

Other acute ischemic heart diseases

I24

 

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, so described

I250

 

All other forms of chronic ischemic heart disease

I20, I25.1-125.9

Other disorders of kidney

N25, N27

This category does not contain all the kidney diseases which are not in any of the specific kidney groups; about 44 Missouri resident deaths per year are due to kidney diseases not in one of the "kidney" groupings.

 

 

 

 

Other cardiovascular/circulatory conditions

I71 - I78, I80 - I99

 

 

Aortic aneurysm and dissection

I71

 

 

Other diseases of arteries, arterioles and capillaries

Most of these deaths are due to peripheral vascular disease.

 

Other disorders of circulatory system

I80 - I99

These causes, while circulatory, are not considered “major cardiovascular disease.” Most of the deaths in this category are due to deep vein thrombosis.
