Resource Profile: Record Axis Cause Of Death

Active as of 2024-03-11 Computable Name: RecordAxisCauseOfDeath

Record Axis Cause Of Death (Observation): Up to 20 of instances of this profile may be included in a coding bundle. Each instance is labeled with its position (1-20).

Usage

Additional information on Record Axis Cause of death can be found in the case of multiple causes of death can be found in this CDC publication . Previously a subset of records classified to ICD-10 CHAPTER XV - Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O99) were flagged by the presence of a ‘1’ in the 5th position of the 2nd condition (position = 2). These are instances where a decedent < 45 years of age has been classified as a maternal death using input from the information entered in the DecedentPregnancyStatus, and the 2nd condition represents the cause of death to which the given record would be classified had the causes of death been processed without National Vital Statistics Reports Volume 69, Number 2 January, 2020 (cdc.gov).

In the FHIR encoding, in lieu of using the 5th position of the ICD10 code, a flag has been added to each Record Cause of Death condition that should be set to true in these cases, and should be absent or false elsewhere.
