Appendix 2 Tabulation of selected causes of death


Introduction

There are standard ways for listing causes of death and there are formal recommendations concerning lists for tabulation to assist international comparisons. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides a number of standard tabulation lists for presentation of causes of death statistics, that assist international comparability. WHO also recommend that when there is not a need for international comparability then lists can be designed to meet local needs. These special lists can be developed for example to monitor progress of local health programmes. The following tabulation lists have been developed, based on those used by the United States National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), to assist users in examining data for firearm, drug and alcohol related deaths.
