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.

世界卫生组织（World Health Organization, WHO）死亡率数据已被转换为采用标准关系数据库格式的死亡率数据集，可支持便捷的数据挖掘。该数据集涵盖配套人口数据、经计算所得的死亡率，以及覆盖所有ICD注册年份的国际疾病分类（International Classification of Diseases, ICD）编码参考表。用户可下载该数据库并将其导入至关系数据库中，亦可将其与其他流行病学或人口学数据结合使用。这些数据便捷的获取途径可为研究人员开展全球死亡趋势与死因相关研究提供极大助力。
