Abstract
The system used internationally to classify causes of death and of morbidity has now been revised for the seventh time since its inception in 1893. This is the second time the classification has been published by the World Health Organization. The sixth revision, the first released under its direction, represented a sweeping reorganization of previous lists to create a combined classification of disease conditions, injuries, and causes of death. The present edition retains the structure and general detail of the sixth, with a few minor modifications found desirable in the years of its use. In addition, subdivisions according to detailed anatomical site were added to the section on neoplasms.Use of the classification makes it possible for comparable statistics on diseases and causes of death to be produced in various hospitals, health agencies, and vital statistics offices in this and in other countries.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
