The mapping relationship between GHE cause categories and MeSH terms

The Global Health Estimates (GHE) cause category, structured hierarchically into four levels according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) and established by the World Health Organization (WHO), is available at https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/gho-documents/global-health-estimates/ghe2019_cod_methods.pdf?sfvrsn=37bcfacc_5. The mapping between Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and GHE cause categories is established by associating diseases with relevant MeSH terms and incorporating all subordinate terms for each MeSH term, following the MeSH tree hierarchy. To prevent oversights and ensure accuracy, a manual double-check with human efforts is employed, verifying that disease-relevant MeSH terms are appropriately categorized, and subordinate terms are not assigned to multiple disease categories simultaneously.
