Notice to readers
Users are cautioned that the application of ICD-10 also
introduces changes into the rules for selection of underlying cause-of- death, and that such changes cannot be shown in a translator.
B
Readers are furthermore cautioned that because continuity for disaggregated items is lost, simple comparison of the outcomes of cause groupings between countries that apply ICD-9 and those that apply ICD-l 0 is discouraged.
B
It should be noted, finally, that because any alteration in the distribution of codes between ICD-9 and ICD-10 following the
introduction of ICD-10 can result not only from discontinuities in the codes themselves, but also from modified rules and other coding practices, possible differences resulting from the application of the two Classifications are best
assessed at the national level, from analysis of the results of double- coding (or bridge-coding) exercises conducted on national data. The Translator may be used as one means to verify these exercises.
Avertissement
B
II est rappele aux utilisateurs que I'application de la CIM-10 presente egalement des changements concernant les regles de selection de la cause initiale de deces et que ces changements ne peuvent apparaitre dans un dispositif de conversion.
En outre, les lecteurs sont avertis que, du fait qu'il n'y a plus de continuite dans leurs composantes, il est deconseille de cornparer les resultats des groupements de causes entre les pays qui appli- quent la CIM-9 et ceux qui appli- quent la CIM-10.
