 This paper proposes a method to improve the accuracy and reliability of cause-of-death data by mapping it from ICD version 6 to ICD version 10 and redistributing garbage codes to more appropriate causes. This process will allow for better comparison of mortality rates between countries and over time, as well as provide a clearer picture of the underlying causes of death.
