Converting the Representation of Medical Data: Criteria to Code the Underlying Cause of Death [PDF]
Methods of Information in Medicine, 1990 AbstractThis study deals with a set of coding directives that were conceived for trained coding clerks and rely upon knowledge of their cultural background. These directives were formalized and adapted for computer use and in this form must rely upon a background of explicit medical knowledge. Medical data on death certificates are an invaluable source

Large‐scale analyses of causes of neonatal deaths are usually based on death‐certificate information. A new computer‐based method has been introduced to define the cause of stillbirths and neonatal deaths in large amounts of material and to classify them according to two different models [Wigglesworth and Neonatal and Intrauterine death Classification ...

Underlying cause of death as recorded for multiple sclerosis patients: Associated factors
Journal of Chronic Diseases, 1983The coding of multiple sclerosis (MS) as underlying cause of death (UCD) on the death certificate provides an important epidemiologic resource for both descriptive and analytic studies. However, not all deaths among MS patients will be so coded. We investigated the effect on estimated occurrence of MS and on characteristics of MS patients when only UCD
