Version 10 of the ICD has been introduced from 1999. Major causes are also shown as a proportion of total deaths and as age-specific death rates. Prior to 1997, death information is available for underlying cause only. From 1997 onwards, information is available on multiple cause.
Details of perinatal deaths are included from 1994 to 1996 based on the 500 gram/22 weeks gestation definition, while from 1997, the 400 gram/20 week gestation definition is used. Cause of death data is also available for the preceding year for year of occurrence of death.
