1  Following recommadations from WHO all acute intoxication deaths (F10-F19 with fourth digit 0) have been moved from chapter V to chapter XX in ICD-10. For the same reason many pneumonia deaths have been coded differently than in earlier years, cfr. DS 30/3-05, Causes of Death 2003.
2  Fracturs of collum femoris are coded as unspecified accidents, fractur ICD-10 X590, un less other circumstances are stated on the death certificate. They were earlier coded as unspecifed fall accidents.
