WHO Mortality database

The WHO mortality data was transformed into a corpus of mortality data in a standard relational database format that allows for easy data mining. The set includes corresponding population data, calculated mortality rates and an ICD-code reference table encompassing all years of ICD registration. The database can be downloaded and imported into a relational database or be combined with other epidemiological or demographic data. The easy of access of these data for researchers may be of great benefit to the research into global trends and causes of death.
