Deaths: Leading Causes for 2010 by Melonie Heron, Ph.D., Division of Vital Statistics

Abstract

Introduction

Objectives—This report presents final 2010 data on the 10 leading causes of death in the United States by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. Leading causes of infant, neonatal, and postneo­ natal death are also presented. This report supplements the Division of Vital Statistics’ annual report of final mortality statistics. Methods—Data in this report are based on information from all death certificates filed in the 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2010. Causes of death classified by the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD–10) are ranked according to the number of deaths assigned to rankable causes. Cause-of-death sta­ tistics are based on the underlying cause of death. Results—In 2010, the 10 leading causes of death were, in rank order: Diseases of heart; Malignant neoplasms; Chronic lower respi­ ratory diseases; Cerebrovascular diseases; Accidents (unintentional injuries); Alzheimer’s disease; Diabetes mellitus; Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis; Influenza and pneumonia; and Intentional self-harm (suicide). These 10 causes accounted for 75% of all deaths occurring in the United States. Differences in the rankings are evident by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. Leading causes of infant death for 2010 were, in rank order: Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities; Disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight, not elsewhere classified; Sudden infant death syndrome; Newborn affected by maternal complications of pregnancy; Accidents (unintentional injuries); Newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord and membranes; Bacterial sepsis of newborn; Respi­ ratory distress of newborn; Diseases of the circulatory system; and Necrotizing enterocolitis of newborn. Important variations in the leading causes of infant death are noted for the neonatal and postneonatal periods. Keywords: mortality • leading causes of death • vital statistics • ICD–10

Ranking causes of death is a popular method of presenting mortality statistics. Leading cause-of-death data have been pub­ lished since 1952 (beginning with 1949 mortality data) when official tabulations ranking causes of death were first introduced (1). Users of this method of presentation should be aware of its inherent limitations. Ranking causes of death is, to some extent, an arbitrary procedure. The rank order of any particular cause of death will depend on the list of causes from which the selection is made and on the rules applied in making the selection. Different cause lists and ranking rules will typically produce different leading causes of death. Recognizing the need for a consistent ranking procedure to be used by state health departments and the National Office of Vital Statistics, in 1951 the Public Health Conference on Records and Statistics recommended that state and federal agencies responsible for identifying diseases of public health importance adopt a uniform ranking procedure using a standard list of causes of death (2). The procedures implemented in 1952 are essentially the same as those currently used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS); however, the cause-of-death lists have been expanded and altered over time with each subsequent revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Cause-of-death data are based on the underlying cause of death. Cause-of-death ranking is a useful tool for illustrating the relative burden of cause-specific mortality. However, it should be used with a clear understanding of what the rankings mean. Literally, the rankings denote the most frequently occurring causes of death among those causes eligible to be ranked. Rankings do not illustrate cause-specific mortality risk as depicted by mortality rates. The rank of a specific cause (i.e., its mortality burden relative to other causes) may decline over time even if its mortality rate has not changed, or its rank may remain the same over time even if its mortality rate is on the decline. It is also important to note that rankings do not necessarily denote the causes of death of greatest public health importance. Some causes of death of public health import are excluded from the ranking pro-

cedure. For example, Malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchus and lung (lung cancer) and Motor vehicle accidents are not rankable causes of death (see ‘‘Procedures for ranking causes of death’’), although they can be identified using the standard mortality tabulation lists. If these causes were included in the current rankings, lung cancer would be placed among the 10 leading causes of death with a rank of 3rd, whereas Motor vehicle accidents would rank 11th. However, each of these is subsumed in broader rankable categories, namely, Malignant neoplasms and Accidents (unintentional injuries), respec­ tively. Although not perfectly suitable in all circumstances, the current framework provides a rankable list of causes of death that has broad appeal and acceptance in the general public health community. Another tool used in this report to depict the relative burden of cause-specific mortality is the proportion of total deaths from the rankable causes. This maps directly to the rankings such that, within a given year or population group, the causes with the highest rankings also have the highest proportion of total deaths. When making comparisons over time, however, note that the rank of a specific cause may remain the same even though the proportion of deaths attributable to that cause may have changed. Similarly, two population groups may have the same rank for a specific cause but different attributable proportions. This report presents final 2010 data on leading causes of death in the United States by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. These data accompany the release of final national mortality statistics for 2010, which are presented in a separate report (3). Further detail beyond that published in this report is provided in leading-cause work tables available from: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/mortality_tables.htm. Also presented in this report is the procedure used by NCHS to rank causes of death, along with tables showing causes that are designated as rankable.

Data and Methods Data Data in this report are based on information from all death certificates filed in the 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2010. Death certificates are generally completed by funeral directors, attending physicians, medical examiners, and coroners. Cause-of-death statistics for 2010 presented in this report are classified in accordance with the 10th revision of the ICD (ICD–10) (4). Discussions of the cause-of-death classification and coding-rule changes in data year 2010 are provided in the Technical Notes at the end of this report.

Procedures for ranking causes of death The procedures used by NCHS for ranking causes of death are consistent with the recommendations of the 1951 Public Health Conference on Records and Statistics (2). Causes are ranked according to the number of deaths assigned to rankable causes. The number of deaths is used as the ranking criterion because it most accurately reflects the frequency of cause-specific mortality. Although crude death rates could technically be used as the ranking criterion because the population denominator of each rate is constant across all cause-of-death categories, these rates are less than ideal. Crude death rates are typically expressed per 100,000 population and are

often rounded to one decimal place, reducing the precision of the ranking criterion. This is especially problematic when ranking causes of death for small population subgroups or geographic areas, because it may be impossible to differentiate the ranks for several causes. Age-adjusted death rates should never be used to rank causes of death. The numerical value of the age-adjusted death rate depends on the population age distribution used to standardize the rate (5). Thus, rankings based on age-adjusted death rates will tend to vary depending on which standard is used. For example, when the standard age distribution gives more weight to the older population, the rank of causes of death that primarily affect the older population tends to be higher and the rank of causes that primarily affect the younger population tends to be lower. The original cause list from which rankable causes of death were selected according to the recommendations of the 1951 confer­ ence (2) was the ‘‘List of 64 Selected Causes of Death’’ prepared for use with the sixth revision of ICD. With each subsequent ICD revision, the cause list from which rankable causes are selected has changed to reflect the improved classification system. Developed for use with ICD–10, the ‘‘List of 113 Selected Causes of Death’’ (6) shown in Table A is used to select 50 rankable causes (denoted by #) from which the leading causes presented in Tables 1 and 2 are derived. Selection of the 50 rankable causes was guided by some basic principles. As in the past, vaguely defined categories were excluded from selection as rankable causes. These included the category ‘‘Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified’’ and all categories beginning with the words ‘‘other,’’ ‘‘all other,’’ ‘‘certain other,’’ or ‘‘unspecified.’’ Among the remaining cause-of-death categories, decisions were made to select as rankable the causes of death considered most useful from a public health perspective, with the following condition: Rankable causes must be mutually exclusive. If a category containing subcategories (such as Tuberculosis or Malignant neoplasms) is selected as a rankable cause, its component parts are not selected as rankable. Efforts were also made to maintain historical continuity where possible. Beginning with 1980 mortality data, NCHS introduced a separate ranking procedure for infant causes of death using a specialized list of infant causes. This was done to include in the rankings causes specific to infancy (especially the perinatal period—the period begin­ ning shortly before and ending shortly after birth) that would otherwise be excluded. The ICD–10 ‘‘List of 130 Selected Causes of Infant Death’’ (6) (Table B) is used to select 71 rankable causes of infant death from which the rankings in Tables 3 and 4 are derived. The same principles for selecting the rankable causes from the ‘‘List of 113 Selected Causes of Death’’ guided the selection of rankable causes from the infant cause list.

Age groupings Leading causes of death for those aged 1 year and over are presented in detailed Tables 1 and 2 for the following age categories: 1–4, 5–9, 10–14, 15–19, 20–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65 and over, 65–74, 75–84, and 85 and over. This set of age categories was adopted in 1999 in response to an increasing number of requests from data users for more age detail, and it represents a substantial expansion from the age categories previously used in these tables to present leading-cause data (7).

Causes labeled # are ranked to determine leading causes of death for specified population groups. Included in ‘‘Certain other intestinal infections (A04,A07–A09)’’ shown above.

5-year, 10-year, and selected age groupings are published on the NCHS website at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/mortality_tables.htm. In this report, a discussion of leading causes by age uses the following summary age categories: 1–9, 10–24, 25–44, 45–64, 65 and over, and 85 and over. Tables 3 and 4, which present data for infants (under age 1 year), also show leading causes of death for the age subcategories neonatal (under 28 days) and postneonatal (28 days to 11 months). The age grouping used when ranking causes of death can have an impact on the rankings assigned to any particular age (8). For example, in 2010, the rankings for the 10 leading causes of death for a 45-year-old male were slightly different depending on whether the ranking was based on the age group 45–49 or 45–54. To illustrate, the category Viral hepatitis was not ranked among the 10 leading causes for men aged 45–49, but it was ranked 10th for men aged 45–54. Assault (homicide) was ranked ninth for men aged 45–49, but it was not ranked in the top 10 for men aged 45–54. Each aggregation of age resulted in a different understanding of the relative importance of Viral hepatitis and homicide for those at or near age 45.

Data by race and Hispanic origin Leading-cause data are presented by race and Hispanic origin, which are reported separately on the death certificate. The race categories presented are: white, black, American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN), and Asian or Pacific Islander (API). Data shown by race include persons of Hispanic origin. Data shown by Hispanic origin include persons of any race. The Hispanic-origin categories presented are: Hispanic, non-Hispanic white, and non-Hispanic black. Deaths for the AIAN, API, and Hispanic populations are understated to varying degrees because of net misclassification of race and Hispanic origin on the death certificate (see Technical

Notes), so data for these groups should generally be interpreted with caution. However, racial or ethnic misclassification should not have a major impact on the cause-of-death rankings for the race and Hispanic-origin groups, or prevent comparisons of relative mortality burden across groups, because there is no reason to expect that racial or ethnic misclassification varies by cause of death.

Results In 2010, the 10 leading causes of death accounted for 75% of all deaths occurring in the United States. The rank order of causes in 2010 remained unchanged from 2009 (9), with two exceptions: Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis (kidney disease) moved up one rank from ninth to eighth, and Influenza and pneumonia moved down from eighth to ninth rank. The number of deaths due to two causes decreased in 2010 from 2009: Influenza and pneumonia by 6.7%, and Diseases of heart (heart disease) by 0.3% (Table C). The number of deaths for each of the other leading causes increased during this period. The largest increases were observed for Alzheimer’s disease at 5.7%; Intentional self-harm (suicide), 3.9%; kidney disease, 3.1%; and Accidents (unintentional injuries), 2.4%. The top two causes, heart disease and Malignant neoplasms (cancer), accounted for 47.5% of all deaths in 2010. Chronic lower respiratory diseases (CLRD) ranked third, Cerebrovascular diseases (stroke) fourth, and unintentional injuries fifth; together, these three causes accounted for 15.7% of all deaths in 2010. Completing the top 10 for 2010 were Alzheimer’s disease (6th), Diabetes mellitus (dia­ betes) (7th), kidney disease (8th), Influenza and pneumonia (9th), and suicide (10th) (Table C).

Causes labeled # are ranked to determine leading causes of infant death for specified population groups.

Differences by sex Some similarities were observed in the ranking of certain causes of death among men and women in 2010. For both populations, heart disease and cancer ranked as the first and second leading causes of death, respectively (Figure 1 and Table 1). These two causes accounted for 49.4% of all deaths to men and 45.6% of all deaths to women in 2010. Other causes with an identical rank for both sexes in 2010 were CLRD (the fourth leading cause) and kidney disease (ranked ninth). Men and women diverge in the ranking of other causes of death. In 2010, unintentional injuries were the third leading cause of death for males, accounting for 6.2% of deaths in this group, but the sixth leading cause for females, accounting for 3.6% of deaths (Figure 1 and Table 1). Stroke and diabetes ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, for males in 2010 but ranked third and seventh, respectively, for females. Women had a higher relative burden of mortality from stroke than men. In 2010, stroke accounted for 6.2% of all deaths to women but 4.2%

of all deaths to men. Both groups had the same relative burden of mortality from diabetes (approximately 3.0%), despite the difference in rank. Suicide ranked seventh for males, but it was not ranked among the 10 leading causes for females. Alzheimer’s disease ranked eighth for males, accounting for 2.1% of deaths, but ranked fifth for females, accounting for 4.7% of deaths. Influenza and pneumonia ranked 10th for males, accounting for 1.9% of deaths, and 8th for females, accounting for 2.1% of deaths. Septicemia ranked 10th for females but was not ranked among the top 10 causes of death for males. In 2010 compared with 2009 (9), no changes occurred in the rank order of the 10 leading causes of death among women. However, among men, Alzheimer’s disease moved up from 10th to 8th rank, and Influenza and pneumonia moved down from 8th rank to become the 10th leading cause of death.

Differences by age In 2010, the leading cause of death varied by age group (Figure 2). The leading cause of death for the population aged 1–44

was unintentional injuries. The relative burden of mortality from this cause was far greater at younger ages, accounting for 32.4% of all deaths in the population aged 1–9, 40.7% of deaths among ages 10–24, and 26.2% of deaths among ages 25–44. In contrast, unintentional injuries was the third leading cause of death for the population aged 45–64 (6.8% of deaths), the ninth leading cause for ages 65 and over (2.3% of deaths), and the eighth leading cause for ages 85 and over (2.4% of deaths). For the population aged 45–64, cancer was the leading cause of death, accounting for 32.3% of deaths. It was the second leading cause for the populations aged 65

and over (22.1% of deaths), 25–44 (13.7% of deaths), 85 and over (12.4% of deaths), and 1–9 (11.8% of deaths). Cancer was the fourth leading cause for the population aged 10–24 (6.4% of deaths). Generally, the relative burden of mortality for heart disease was higher at older age groups. For the population aged 65 and over, heart disease was the leading cause of death, accounting for 26.5% of deaths. It was also the leading cause of death for ages 85 and over, accounting for 30.8% of deaths. However, it was the fifth leading cause for the populations aged 1–9 (3.4% of deaths) and 10–24 (3.5% of deaths). Heart disease was the third leading cause

of death for the population aged 25–44 (12.3% of deaths), and the second leading cause for those aged 45–64 (21.2% of deaths). Other patterns in the leading causes of death were observed by age group (Figure 2). Generally, for younger age groups, external causes accounted for more deaths than other causes whereas for older age groups, chronic diseases were far more prevalent than other causes. For the population aged 1–44, homicide and suicide were important causes of death: Homicide was the third leading cause of death for ages 10–24 (14.9% of deaths), the fourth leading cause for ages 1–9 (7.5% of deaths), and the fifth leading cause for ages 25–44 (6.0% of deaths). It was not among the 10 leading causes for the population aged 45 and over. Suicide was the second leading cause of death for the population aged 10–24 (15.0% of deaths) and the fourth leading cause for those aged 25–44 (11.0% of deaths). In contrast, it was the eighth leading cause for those aged 45–64 (3.1% of deaths) and was not among the 10 leading causes for the popu­ lations aged 65 and over or 85 and over. Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (congenital malforma­ tions) was more prevalent at the youngest ages. It was the third leading cause for ages 1–9 (10.1% of deaths) and the sixth leading cause for ages 10–24 (1.7% of deaths), but it was not among the 10 leading causes for the population aged 25 and over. Additional causes con­ sistently ranking among the 10 leading causes for those aged 1–44 include stroke, Influenza and pneumonia, and diabetes. Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, and Human immunodeficiency virus disease (HIV disease), were among the leading causes of death for those aged 25–44. For the population aged 45 and over, CLRD and stroke were major causes of death. CLRD was the third leading cause of death for ages 65 and over (6.6% of deaths), the fourth leading cause for ages 45–64 (3.8% of deaths), and the fifth leading cause for ages 85 and over (5.0% of deaths). In contrast, it ranked ninth for the population

aged 1–9 (1.7% of deaths), eighth for those aged 10–24 (0.7% of deaths), and was not a top 10 cause of death for those aged 25–44. Stroke was the third leading cause for ages 85 and over (7.1% of deaths) and the fourth leading cause for ages 65 and over (6.1% of deaths). However, it was the seventh leading cause for the populations aged 45–64 (3.4% of deaths) and 10–24 (0.7% of deaths), and the eighth leading cause for the populations aged 25–44 (2.2% of deaths) and 1–9 (1.5% of deaths). Alzheimer’s disease was prevalent at the oldest ages, ranking fourth for those aged 85 and over (7.1% of deaths) and fifth for those aged 65 and over (4.6% of deaths). It was not one of the 10 leading causes for the population aged 64 and under. Additional leading causes more prevalent among the population aged 45 and over were diabetes, kidney disease, Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, and Influenza and pneumonia.

Differences by race Table D shows variation across the four major race groups in the 10 leading causes of death in 2010. The four groups shared seven of the leading causes in common but had different relative disease burden. Heart disease was the first leading cause of death for the white and black populations, but it was the second leading cause for the AIAN and API populations. As measured by causespecific percentage of total deaths within each population, the relative burden of mortality from heart disease was 17.9% in the AIAN population compared with 24.3% in the white population, 24.1% in the black population, and 22.5% in the API population (Table D). Cancer was the first leading cause of death for the AIAN and API populations, but the second leading cause for the black and white groups. Cancer accounted for 27.7% of all deaths in the API population, 23.3% in the white population, 23.0% in the black population, and 19.0% in the AIAN population. CLRD ranked third for

12

the white population, accounting for 6.0% of deaths in this group; sixth for the AIAN population (4.5% of deaths); and seventh for the black and API populations (3.0% and 2.9% of deaths, respectively). Stroke, unintentional injuries, diabetes, and kidney disease also ranked among the top 10 causes of death for each race group. Stroke ranked fourth for the white population but third for the black and API populations, and seventh for the AIAN population. The percentage of deaths attributable to stroke was highest for the API population (7.5% of all deaths) and lowest for the AIAN population (3.6% of deaths). Unintentional injuries ranked fifth for the white and black populations (5.0% and 4.2% of deaths, respectively), fourth for the API population (4.2% of deaths), and third for the AIAN population (10.9% of deaths). Diabetes ranked fourth for the AIAN and black populations, accounting for 5.5% and 4.2% of deaths, respectively; fifth for the API population (3.6% of deaths); and seventh for the white population (2.6% of deaths). Kidney disease ranked ninth for the white and AIAN populations, but sixth for the black population and eighth for the API population. Kidney disease accounted for 3.1% of deaths in the black population, 2.2% in the API population, 2.1% in the AIAN population, and 1.9% in the white population. Some of the leading causes were shared by some groups but not by others. Alzheimer’s disease ranked 6th for the white population, 9th for the API population, and 10th for the black population, but was not among the top 10 for the AIAN population. Influenza and pneumonia ranked 6th for the API population, 8th for the white population, and 10th for the AIAN population, but was not ranked in the 10 leading causes of death for the black population. Similarly, suicide was not ranked in the top 10 for the black population but was among the 10 leading causes for the other three groups: 8th for the AIAN population and 10th for the white and API populations.

Furthermore, at least one of the 10 leading causes was unique to each of two groups. For the AIAN population, Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis ranked 5th but was not ranked in the top 10 for the other three race groups. For the black population, homicide ranked 8th and Septicemia 9th, but these causes were not ranked among the top 10 for the other race groups. The rank order of several leading causes changed in 2010 from 2009 (9). For the black population, diabetes and unintentional injuries switched ranks to become the 4th and 5th leading causes, respec­ tively. Alzheimer’s disease and HIV disease also switched ranks in 2010, such that HIV disease is no longer among the top 10 causes of death for the black population. Alzheimer’s disease became the 10th leading cause for this group. For the AIAN population, cancer switched ranks with heart disease, becoming the first and second leading causes of death, respectively. Kidney disease moved up from 10th to 9th rank for this group, and Influenza and pneumonia moved down from 9th to 10th rank.

Differences by Hispanic origin Table E and Figure 3 contrast the 10 leading causes of death for the Hispanic, non-Hispanic white, and non-Hispanic black popu­ lations in 2010. For the Hispanic population, cancer ranked first and heart disease second. In contrast, heart disease ranked first and cancer second for the non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black populations. The relative burden of both causes was lowest for the Hispanic population, in which cancer accounted for 21.5% of all deaths and heart disease for 20.8%. Cancer accounted for 23.4% and 23.0% of deaths in the non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black populations, respectively. Heart disease accounted for 24.6% of deaths in the non-Hispanic white population and 24.1% in the

Unintentional injuries ranked third for the Hispanic population, accounting for 7.3% of deaths, but fifth for the non-Hispanic white (4.8% of deaths) and non-Hispanic black (4.2% of deaths) populations. The fourth-ranked cause for the Hispanic and non-Hispanic white populations was stroke, which ranked third for the non-Hispanic black population. Diabetes ranked fifth for the Hispanic population (4.5% of deaths), fourth for the non-Hispanic black population (4.2% of deaths), and seventh for the non-Hispanic white population (2.4% of deaths). These five causes together accounted for 59.1% of deaths in the Hispanic population. Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis was unique as a leading cause of death for the Hispanic population; it ranked sixth for this group but was not among the 10 leading causes of death for the non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black populations. CLRD ranked much higher for the non-Hispanic white population (third) than for the non-Hispanic black and Hispanic populations (both seventh). Alzheimer’s disease ranked 8th for the Hispanic population, 6th for the non-Hispanic white population, and 10th for the non-Hispanic black population. Kidney disease was the ninth leading cause for the Hispanic (2.3% of deaths) and non-Hispanic white (1.9% of deaths) populations, but was sixth among leading causes for the non-Hispanic black population (3.1% of deaths). Influenza and pneumonia ranked 10th for the Hispanic popu­ lation and 8th for the non-Hispanic white population, but it was not among the 10 leading causes of death for the non-Hispanic black population. Causes of death that ranked among the 10 leading causes for the non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black groups but not for the Hispanic group were homicide, which ranked 8th for the non-Hispanic black population; suicide, which ranked 10th for the non-Hispanic white population; and Septicemia, which ranked 9th for the non-Hispanic black population. Some causes changed rank in 2010 from 2009 (9). For the Hispanic population, Alzheimer’s disease rose into the top 10, becoming the 8th leading cause of death in 2010. Influenza and pneumonia moved down from 8th to 10th rank. Homicide, the 9th leading cause in 2009, dropped out of the top 10 list in 2010, and kidney disease moved up from 10th to 9th place. For the non-Hispanic black population, Alzheimer’s disease became the 10th leading cause of death, replacing HIV disease, which dropped out of the top 10 list in 2010.

Figure 3. Percent distribution of the 10 leading causes of death, by race and Hispanic origin: United States, 2010

The leading cause of infant death in 2010 was congenital malformations, which accounted for 20.8% of all infant deaths (Table F). The second leading cause was Disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight, not elsewhere classified (16.9% of deaths). The third leading cause was Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) (8.4% of deaths), and the fourth leading cause was Newborn affected by maternal complications of pregnancy (6.3% of deaths). Unintentional injuries ranked fifth and accounted for 4.5% of deaths. In 2010, 56.9% of infant deaths were attributable to these five leading causes. Other leading causes in 2010 were Newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord and membranes (ranked 6th); Bacterial sepsis of newborn (7th); Respiratory distress of newborn (8th); Diseases of the circulatory system (9th); and Necro­ tizing enterocolitis of newborn (10th). In all, these 10 leading causes of infant death accounted for 69.5% of all infant deaths.

The rank order of the 10 leading causes of death among infants remained the same in 2010 as in 2009 (9), with one exception: Necrotizing enterocolitis of newborn rose into the top 10 list, replacing Neonatal hemorrhage as the 10th leading cause of infant death.

Neonatal and postneonatal mortality Differences were evident when comparing leading causes of death in the neonatal (less than 28 days after birth) and postneo­ natal (from 28 days through 11 months after birth) periods (Table G). Disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight, not elsewhere classified, was the leading cause of neonatal death in 2010. In contrast, SIDS was the leading cause in the postneonatal period. Congenital malformations—the leading cause of infant death overall—ranked second for both neonates and postneonates. The remaining leading causes of neonatal death were characterized by conditions occurring in the perinatal period, whereas in the postneo­ natal period the remaining leading causes included several condi­ tions prevalent among the general population. These included unintentional injuries, ranked third; homicide, sixth; Septicemia, seventh; and Influenza and pneumonia, eighth. The rank order of the 10 leading causes of neonatal deaths remained the same in 2010 as in 2009 (9). The rankings for the 10 leading causes of postneonatal deaths also remained unchanged, with two exceptions: Septicemia and Influenza and pneumonia exchanged ranks in 2010 to become the seventh and eighth leading causes, respectively, reversing a 2009 switch in ranks. Differences in infant mortality, including neonatal and postneo­ natal mortality, by race and Hispanic origin are detailed in Tables 3 and 4 for further information but are not discussed. Race reported on the death certificate is considered to be fairly accurate for white and black infants; however, both race and Hispanic origin may be misreported for other groups (10–13); see Technical Notes. Consequently, researchers are directed to the report using data from the linked file of live births and infant deaths for better measures of infant mortality by race and Hispanic origin (14).

Discussion This report presents leading causes of death in the United States by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin, and for the infant, neonatal, and postneonatal periods. Cause-of-death ranking is a popular method of presenting mortality statistics and is a useful tool for illustrating the relative burden of cause-specific mortality, but it must be used cautiously with a clear understanding of the limitations underlying the method. When comparing rankings across groups or over time, careful note should be made of the age distribution of the populations being compared. Leading causes of death for populations with younger age distributions will tend to show higher rankings for causes of death that are prevalent among the young, such as homicide, unintentional injuries, and HIV disease. Leading causes for older populations will tend to show higher rankings for causes that are more prevalent among the elderly, such as Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Consideration should also be given to the effects of random variation on cause-of-death rankings. When the number of events is small (perhaps fewer than 100 deaths), estimates of mortality risk are subject to random fluctuations; see Technical Notes. Especially when comparing rankings based on small numbers of deaths between groups or over time, it is important to be aware that differences in relative rankings may be attributable to random variability. Because the rank order of any particular cause of death will depend on the list of causes from which selection is made and on the rules applied in making the selection, a clearly defined, uniform method for ranking causes of death is vital to maintain consistency in the reporting of leading causes by federal and state agencies. The standard method and cause lists described in this and other publications (1–3,6) provide this needed structure.

[Rates are for infant (under 1 year), neonatal (under 28 days), and postneonatal (28 days–11 months) deaths per 100,000 live births in specified group. Deaths for races other than white or black should be interpreted with caution because of inconsistencies between reporting race on birth and death certificates.

[Rates are for infant (under 1 year), neonatal (under 28 days), and postneonatal (28 days–11 months) deaths per 100,000 live births in specified group. Deaths for races other than white or black should be interpreted with caution because of inconsistencies between reporting race on birth and death certificates. Deaths are based on race of decedent; live births are based on race of mother; see Technical Notes. An asterisk (*) preceding a cause-of-death code indicates that the code is not included in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD–10), Second Edition; see Technical Notes]

Table 4. Infant, neonatal, and postneonatal deaths, percentage of total deaths, and mortality rates for the 10 leading causes of infant death, by Hispanic origin, race for non-Hispanic population, and sex: United States, 2010 [Rates are for infant (under age 1 year), neonatal (under 28 days), and postneonatal (28 days–11 months) deaths per 100,000 live births in specified group. Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on the death certificate. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. Data for Hispanic persons are not tabulated separately by race; data for non-Hispanic persons are tabulated by race. Data for Hispanic origin should be interpreted with caution because of inconsistencies between reporting Hispanic origin on birth and death certificates; see Technical Notes. National linked files should be used to measure infant mortality for specific Hispanic subgroups.

Table 4. Infant, neonatal, and postneonatal deaths, percentage of total deaths, and mortality rates for the 10 leading causes of infant death, by Hispanic origin, race for the non-Hispanic population, and sex: United States, 2010—Con. [Rates are for infant (under age 1 year), neonatal (under 28 days), and postneonatal (28 days–11 months) deaths per 100,000 live births in specified group. Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on the death certificate. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. Data for Hispanic persons are not tabulated separately by race; data for non-Hispanic persons are tabulated by race. Data for Hispanic origin should be interpreted with caution because of inconsistencies between reporting Hispanic origin on birth and death certificates; see Technical Notes. National linked files should be used to measure infant mortality for specific Hispanic subgroups. An asterisk (*) preceding a cause-of-death code indicates that the code is not included in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD–10), Second Edition; see Technical Notes]

The U.S. Standard Certificate of Death, which is used as a model by the states, was revised in 2003 (15,16). Prior to this, it had last been revised in 1989 (17,18). This report includes data for the District of Columbia and 34 states that used the 2003 revision in 2010 (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming) and the remaining 16 states that continued to use the 1989 revision in 2010. Kentucky began using the 2003 revision in 2010, but some of the state’s data for the first part of the year were reported using the 1989 revision. Maine started using the 2003 revision in June, but most of the state’s data for 2010 were reporting using the 1989 revision. Most of the items presented in this report are largely comparable despite changes to item wording and format in 2003; hence, data from both groups of reporting areas are combined unless otherwise stated. Mortality statistics are based on information from death certifi­ cates coded by the states and provided to NCHS through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program, and from copies of original death certificates received by NCHS from state registration offices. All of the states and the District of Columbia participated in this program and submitted part or all of the mortality medical (cause-of-death) data for 2010 in electronic data files to NCHS; the remainder of the data was coded by NCHS from copies of death certificates. All states provided precoded demographic data for deaths. Georgia resolved data entry problems experienced in 2008 and 2009 while implementing the 2003 revision of the death certificate. Variables that were missing from Georgia’s 2008 and 2009 demographic file are available in the 2010 file. The mortality statistics in this report include only deaths of U.S. residents.

selecting the underlying cause of death for tabulation purposes, defi­ nitions, tabulation lists, and regulations on the use of the classification. Prior to 1968, mortality medical data were based on manual coding of an underlying cause of death for each certificate, in accor­ dance with WHO rules. Effective with data year 1968, NCHS converted to computerized coding of the underlying cause and manual coding of all causes (multiple causes) on the death certificate. In this system, called Automated Classification of Medical Entities (ACME) (22), multiple-cause codes serve as inputs to computer software that employs WHO rules to select the underlying cause. Many states have implemented ACME and provide multiple-cause and underlying-cause data to NCHS in electronic form; for those states that have not, NCHS coded the mortality medical data using ACME. ACME is used to select the underlying cause of death for all death certificates in the United States. In addition, NCHS has developed two computer systems that provide input to ACME. Beginning with 1990 data, the Mortality Medical Indexing, Classification, and Retrieval (MICAR) system (23,24) was introduced to automate coding multiple causes of death. In addition, MICAR provides more detailed infor­ mation on the conditions reported on death certificates than is avail­ able through the ICD code structure. Then, beginning with data year 1993, SuperMICAR, an enhancement of the MICAR system, was introduced. SuperMICAR allows for literal entry of the multiple cause­ of-death text as reported by the certifier. This information is then processed automatically by MICAR and ACME. Records that cannot be processed automatically by MICAR or SuperMICAR are multiplecause coded manually and then further processed through ACME. In this report, tabulations of cause-of-death statistics are based solely on the underlying cause of death. The underlying cause is defined by WHO as the disease or injury that initiated the train of events leading directly to death, or the circumstances of the accident or violence that produced the fatal injury (4). The underlying cause is selected from the conditions entered by the physician in the cause­ of-death section of the death certificate. When more than one cause or condition is entered by the physician, the underlying cause is determined by the sequence of conditions on the certificate, the provisions of ICD, and associated selection rules and modifications. Generally, more medical information is reported on death certificates than is directly reflected in the underlying cause of death. This infor­ mation is captured in NCHS multiple cause-of-death statistics (25–27).

Cause-of-death classification

Terrorism-related deaths

The mortality statistics presented here were compiled in accor­ dance with World Health Organization (WHO) regulations, which specify that member nations classify and code causes of death in accordance with the current revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD). ICD provides the basic guidance used in virtually all countries to code and classify causes of death. Effective with deaths occurring in 1999, the United States began using the 10th revision of this classification, (ICD–10) (4). ICD not only details disease classification but also provides definitions, tabulation lists, the format of the death certificate, and the rules for coding cause of death. Cause-of-death data presented in this publication were coded by procedures outlined in annual issues of the NCHS Instruction Manual (19–21). The manual includes rules for

Starting in 2001, terrorism deaths are classified using a set of codes and guidelines developed by NCHS within the framework of ICD–10 (28,29). The codes developed include *U01–*U02 for terrorism involving an assault (homicide) and *U03 for terrorism involving intentional self-harm (suicide). The asterisk (*) preceding these codes indicates that the code was introduced by the United States but is not officially part of ICD. Codes from the ‘‘U’’ Chapter of ICD–10 were selected because this chapter was reserved specifi­ cally for ‘‘future additions and changes and for possible interim classifications to solve difficulties arising at the national and interna­ tional levels between revisions’’ (4). To maintain international com­ parability in reporting homicide and suicide rates, deaths coded to *U01–*U02 are included in tabulations of leading causes of death with other homicides (*U01–*U02, X85–Y09, and Y87.1), and deaths

National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 62, No. 6, December 20, 2013

coded to *U03 are included with other suicides (*U03, X60–X84, and Y87.0). No terrorism deaths were represented in 2010 mortality statistics.

Coding and processing changes in 2010 Rules for coding a cause or causes of death may sometimes require modification when evidence suggests that such modifications will improve the quality of cause-of-death data. Prior to 1999, such modifications were made only when a new revision of ICD was implemented. A process for updating ICD was introduced with ICD–10 that allows for midrevision changes. These changes, how­ ever, may affect comparability of data between years for select causes of death. Minor changes may be implemented every year whereas major changes may be implemented every 3 years (e.g., data year 2009). No codes were added or deleted in data year 2010. However, the implementation of changes in coding rules impacted several causes of death in 2010, as well as the comparison of 2010 and 2009 data for these causes, as follows (3): •





In 2009, ICD–10 code A09, Diarrhea and gastroenteritis of infec­ tious origin, was deleted from the list of valid underlying cause­ of-death codes. Instead, it became a subtotal category for new codes A09.0, Other and unspecified gastroenteritis and colitis of infectious origin, and A09.9, Gastroenteritis and colitis of unspeci­ fied origin, which were added to provide greater specificity. These changes led to an increase in deaths classified to the expanded A09, which became a leading cause of postneonatal deaths in 2009 (9). However, many deaths that should have been assigned to A09.9 were instead assigned to A09.0 in 2009. The coding rules were changed in 2010 to correct this error. The correction resulted in a large increase in deaths assigned to A09.9 and a large decrease in deaths assigned to A09.0 between 2009 and 2010. In the ‘‘List of 130 Selected Causes of Infant Death’’ (130-cause list) for infants, only the subtotal category A09 is a rankable cause of death, so the correction had no impact on the rankings of postneonatal deaths in 2010. In the ‘‘List of 113 Selected Causes of Death and Enterocolitis due to Clostridium difficile’’ (113-cause list) for all ages, A09 is not a separate rankable cause of death, nor is it included in a rankable category; therefore, rule changes related to A09 had no impact on cause-of-death rankings for all ages in either 2009 or 2010. A coding change in 2010 may have contributed to the increase in deaths from D62, Acute posthaemorrhagic anemia (22). The number of deaths classified to D62 increased 48%, from 86 deaths in 2009 to 127 deaths in 2010. In the 113-cause list, D62 is included in the larger rankable category Anemias (D50–D64). The coding change had a negligible impact on the ranking of Anemias for most population groups; however, it may have contributed to elevated rankings of Anemias for the black popu­ lation, especially in the 1–24 age range. In 2009, the title for ICD–10 code J09 was changed from Influenza due to identified avian influenza virus to Influenza due to certain identified influenza virus (3). The reason for this change was to accommodate deaths from Influenza A/H1N1 pandemic 2009 (swine flu). In 2009, 1,557 deaths were classified to ICD–10 code J09. The number of deaths attributed to J09 fell to 226 in 2010.

93

This may have contributed in small part to lowered rankings of Influenza and pneumonia (J09–J18) for some population groups. In addition to changes in coding rules in 2010, a system error occurred that assigned to ICD–10 code K08.8, Other specified disorders of teeth and supporting structures, deaths that should instead have been assigned to lung hemorrhage. In 2010, 127 deaths were assigned to K08.8 compared with 107 in 2009. Similarly, a system error assigned to ICD–10 code K11, Diseases of salivary glands, deaths that should have been coded to J69.0, Pneumonitis due to food and vomit. In 2010, this contributed in part to an increase in deaths due to K11; 202 deaths were assigned to this code in 2010, more than double the number (99) in 2009. Because the number of deaths attributed to K08.8 and K11 is relatively small, and because neither code is included in a rankable category, this error did not impact the leading-cause information in this report.

Age Leading causes of death are presented by age categories in detailed tables. Decedents for whom age was not stated are included in total categories showing the words ‘‘all ages’’ but are not distributed across age groups. No age information was missing for infants in 2010. The percentage of all decedents with age not stated in 2010 was 0.005% (3).

Race and Hispanic origin Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on the death certificate. Therefore, data shown by race include persons of Hispanic or non-Hispanic origin, and data for Hispanic origin include persons of any race. In this report, unless otherwise specified, decedents of Hispanic origin are included in the totals for each race group—white, black, American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN), and Asian or Pacific Islander (API)—according to the decedent’s race as reported on the death certificate. Data shown for Hispanic persons include all persons of Hispanic origin of any race. The 2003 revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Death allows the reporting of more than one race (multiple races) (16). This change was implemented to reflect the increasing diversity of the U.S. popu­ lation and is consistent with the decennial census. The race and ethnicity items on the revised certificate are compliant with the most recent standards issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 1997, which mandate the collection of more than one race for federal data (30). In addition, the new certificate is compliant with the OMB-mandated minimum of five races to be reported for federal data. Multiple race includes any combination of white, black or African American, AIAN, and API. If two or more specific subgroups such as Korean and Chinese are reported, they count as a single race (Asian) rather than as multiple races. In 2010, multiple race was reported on the revised death cer­ tificates of Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Dis­ trict of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming, as well as

on the unrevised certificates of Hawaii, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. More than one race was reported for 0.4% of the records in the District of Columbia and the 37 states that reported multiple-race information in 2010. Data from the remaining states are based on the 1989 revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Death, which follows the older 1977 OMB standard of allowing only a single race to be reported (17,31). In addition, these states report a minimum of four races as stipulated by the 1977 standard: white, black or African American, AIAN, and API. To provide uniformity and comparability of data during the tran­ sition to the new multiple-race format, it was necessary to bridge the responses of those who reported multiple races to a single race in a procedure similar to that used to bridge multiracial population estimates (32,33). Multiracial decedents are imputed to a single race (either white, black, AIAN, or API) according to their combination of races, Hispanic origin, sex, and age indicated on the death certificate. The imputation procedure is described in detail at: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/Multiple_race_docu_5-10-04.pdf. Mortality data for the Hispanic-origin population are based on deaths of residents of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Data year 1997 was the first year in which mortality data for the Hispanic population were available for the entire United States.

Quality of race and Hispanic origin data Death counts and rates for Hispanic, AIAN, and API persons should be interpreted with caution because of misreporting of race on the death certificate. A number of studies (10–13) have been conducted on the reliability of race reported on the death certificate by comparing race on the death certificate with that reported on another data collection instrument, such as the census or a survey. Differences may arise because of differences in who provides race information on the compared records. Race information on the death certificate is reported by the funeral director as provided by an informant or, in the absence of an informant, on the basis of obser­ vation. In contrast, race on the census or on the Current Population Survey is obtained while the individual is alive and is self-reported or reported by another household member familiar with the individual; therefore, it may be considered more valid. A high level of agreement between the death certificate and the census or survey report is essential to assure unbiased death rates by race. Studies (10–13,34) have shown that a person self-reported as AIAN, API, or Hispanic origin on census or survey records was sometimes reported as white on the death certificate. The net effect of misclassification is an underestimation of deaths and death rates for races other than white and black and for Hispanic origin. Deaths for the AIAN population are underreported by 30%, the API population by 7%, and the Hispanic-origin population by 5% (13). In addition, undercoverage of some minority groups in the census and resultant population estimates introduces biases into death rates by race and Hispanic origin (10–13,34,35). Unlike the 1990 census, coverage error in the 2000 census was statistically significant only for the nonHispanic white population (overcounted by an estimated 1.13%) and the non-Hispanic black population (undercounted by an estimated 1.84%) (35). The 2010 census coverage error was minor with a net undercount of 0.01%. The net undercounts were statistically significant from zero for the following populations: non-Hispanic black (2.06%), non-Hispanic white (–0.83%), Hispanic (1.54%), and AIAN (4.88% on reservations and–1.95% off reservations) (36). For a more detailed discussion, see ‘‘Deaths: Final Data for 2010’’ (3).

Other races and race not stated Beginning in 1992 all records coded as ‘‘Other races’’ (0.42% of total deaths in 2010) were assigned to the specified race of the previous record. Records for which race was unknown, not stated, or not classifiable (0.14%) were assigned the racial designation of the previous record.

Infant mortality rates For 2010, as in previous years, infant deaths continued to be tabulated by the race of the decedent. However, beginning with the 1989 data year, the method of tabulating live births by race was changed from race of parents to race of mother as stated on the birth certificate. This change affects infant mortality rates because live births are the denominators of these rates (18,37,38). Quantitatively, the change to tabulating live births by race of mother results in more white births and fewer black births and births of other races. Consequently, infant and maternal mortality rates under the new tabulating procedure tend to be about 2% lower for white infants and about 5% higher for black infants than when they are computed by the previous method of tabulating live births by race of parents. Rates for most other minority races also are higher when computed by race of mother (18,37,38). Infant mortality rates for the Hispanic-origin population are based on numbers of resident infant deaths reported to be of Hispanic origin and numbers of resident live births by Hispanic origin of mother for the United States. In computing infant mortality rates, deaths and live births of unknown origin are not distributed among the specified Hispanic and non-Hispanic groups. The percentage of infant deaths of unknown origin was 0.9%, and the percentage of live births to mothers of unknown origin was 0.7% for the United States in 2010 (3,39). Infant mortality rates for specified race and Hispanic origin are subject to error because of reporting problems that affect the clas­ sification of race and Hispanic origin on the birth and death certificates for the same infant. Infant mortality rates by specified race and Hispanic origin are more accurate when based on the linked file of infant deaths and live births (14). The linked file computes infant mortality rates using the race and Hispanic origin of the mother from the birth certificate in both the numerator and denominator. Race and Hispanic origin information on the birth certificate is considered to be more accurate than that on the death certificate because, on the birth certificate, race and Hispanic origin are generally reported by the mother at the time of delivery. In contrast, on the death certificate, race and Hispanic origin are reported by an informant—often the mother, but sometimes the funeral director. Estimates of reporting errors have been made by comparing rates based on the linked files with those in which the race of the infant decedent is based on information from the death certificate (10,14).

Computation of rates and population bases Rates in this report (except for infant mortality rates) are crude death rates presented per 100,000 estimated population in a specified group. Population estimates represent the population at risk of dying in a specified group. The populations used for computing death rates in this report are estimates for April 1, 2010, and were produced under a collaborative arrangement with the U.S. Census Bureau (40).

National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 62, No. 6, December 20, 2013

Reflecting the current standards for the classification of race and ethnicity issued in 1997 by OMB (30), U.S. Census 2010 allowed individuals to report more than one race, as appropriate, for them­ selves and household members. In addition, the standards specified five minimum race categories to be used for tabulation: AIAN, Asian, black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI), and white. This is a modification of the previous 1977 OMB standards in which only four race categories were specified (Asian and Pacific Islander persons were treated as a single group) and respon­ dents reported only one of the four (31). Death certificates from some reporting areas currently collect only one race for the decedent according to the 1977 OMB guidelines and are thus incompatible with population data based on the 2010 census for calculating death rates. In 2010, multiple-race information was reported on the revised death certificates of 34 states and the District of Columbia, as well as on the unrevised certificates of three states (referenced above). A total of 13 states reported single-race information on unrevised death certificates. To produce population estimates with race categories compa­ rable with those still used on some death certificates, the enumerated population data with multiple-race categories were bridged back to single-race categories. In addition, the 2010 census counts were modified to be consistent with the older (1977) OMB racial categories (i.e., data for Asian persons and NHOPI persons were combined into the single category of API). The procedures used to produce the bridged populations are described in separate publications (32,33). It is anticipated that bridged population data will be used over the next few years for computing population-based rates. Beginning with deaths occurring in 2003, an increasing number of states have col­ lected multiple-race data on the death certificate. Once all states begin collecting data on race according to the 1997 OMB standards, the use of bridged populations is expected to be discontinued. It is important to emphasize that the population data used to calculate the race-specific mortality statistics presented in this report are based on special estimation procedures and are not true counts. The estimation procedures used to develop these populations are subject to error. Smaller populations (e.g., AIAN) are likely to be affected much more than larger populations (32). Although the nature and magnitude of these errors are unknown, the potential for error should be kept in mind when evaluating trends and differentials. Over the next several years, additional information will be incorporated in the estimation procedures, resulting in more robust race-specific popu­ lation estimates. Population estimates by race, sex, and the age categories pre­ sented in this report are shown in Table I. Population estimates by Hispanic origin, race for the non-Hispanic population, sex, and age are shown in Table II. Infant mortality rates are the most commonly used index for measuring the risk of dying during the first year of life. Infant mortality rates use the number of live births to approximate the population at risk of dying before the first birthday. They are calculated by dividing the number of infant deaths in a calendar year by the number of live births registered for the same period and are presented as rates per 100,000 live births. Neonatal and postneonatal mortality rates are also calculated using live births in the denominator. For final birth figures used in the denominator for infant mortality rates, see ‘‘Births: Final Data for 2010’’ (39).

95

Random variation The mortality data presented in this report are not subject to sampling error. However, mortality data, even based on complete counts, may be affected by random variation. When the number of events is small (perhaps less than 100) and the probability of such an event is small, caution must be observed when interpreting mortality data. This is less problematic when analyzing the relative ranking of causes of death because the observed frequency of deaths for any particular cause is fixed for any given group in any given year, and the ranking is based on that fixed value. Neverthe­ less, when comparing rankings based on small numbers of deaths between groups or over time, be aware that differences in relative rankings may be attributable to random variability (see reference 3 for a more detailed discussion of random variation and formulas for calculating standard errors for death rates and infant mortality rates).
