3.4 Multiple causes of death In addition to underlying causes of death, information about contributing and direct causes of death are important for a more complete understanding of what led to a death, and the co-contribution of diseases to mortality. The following tables show the number and crude mortality rates for the underlying causes at the ICD-10 chapter level, for associated causes, and for other contributory causes of death (‘multiple causes of death’) for the deaths in 2012 and 2013 of people in disability services and assisted boarding houses. Multiple causes of of people in disability services in 2012 and 2013 Number and rates of deaths of people in disability services by underlying, associated and multiple causes of death; and rate ratios for multiple to underlying causes of death by ICD chapter, 2012 and 2013.
