Redistributing Ill-defined Causes of Death – A Case Study from the Burden 2020-Project in Germany

Abstract: Background The cause of death statistics in Germany include a relatively high share (26% in 2017) of ill-defined deaths (IDD). To make use of the cause of death statistics for Burden of Disease calculations we redistribute those IDD to valid causes of death.Methods The process of proportional redistribution is described in detail. It makes use of the distribution of the valid ICD-codes in the data. We use examples of stroke, diabetes, and heart failure to illustrate how IDD are reallocated. ResultsThe largest … Show more

“…In the region with the lowest share of IDD the case numbers only increase by 10% (672, UI: 639–705) which results in a much smaller UI (5% deviation from mean to minimum and maximum) than for the first region (18% deviation from mean in both directions). More results on the regional variation of number of deaths and YLL will soon become available through another publication [ 24 ] and a website [ 25 ].…”

“…It is comprehensive in the way that all valid ICD-codes are assigned to one exclusive cause on each level [ 16 ]. We adapted this GBD mapping of ICD-codes to CoD and refer to the different levels in the results section of this paper and other publications [ 24 , 25 ].…”

“…Deutlich wurde, dass zur YLD-Berechnung die Angaben zur Häufigkeit einer Krankheit wie Prävalenzen oder Raten und die Anteilswerte der mit der betrachteten Krankheit einhergehenden Schweregrade oder Folgezustände unter Nutzung der Krankenkassenroutinedaten ermittelt werden konnten. Zur Ermittlung des Morbiditätsindikators YLL konnten die Informationen aus der Todesursachenstatistik mit einer Umverteilung nicht-informativer Codes genutzt werden 31 .…”
