Remarks

'Causes of Death data' (COD) refer to the underlying cause , i.e.“the disease or injury which initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death, or the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury”.

COD data are derived from death certificates. The medical certification of death is an obligation in all Member States. Countries code the information of the death certificate into ICD codes.
