| Lower respiratory infections | J09-18, J20-J22 |
| All other IMPN | A00-99, B00-99, D50-53, D649, E00-E02, E40-46, E50-54, G00, G03-G04, G14, H65-H66, N70-N73, J00-J06, O00-O99, P00-P96, Z353 |

Ovarian cancer (women) and prostate cancer (men) are sex specific. The all other cancers group also includes breast cancer for men. Liver cirrhosis was not in the top 12 leading causes of death for women, so it was included within all other NCDs.
The residual groups (all other cancers, all other CVDs, all other NCDs, all other IMPN) also contained deaths from the “ill-defined diseases” GHE group (R00-R94, R96-R99, U07, U99). There were 196,055 deaths from ill-defined diseases. These were proportionately assigned between the residual groups.
Causes of death with the ICD-10 code S00-S99 or T00-T99 are not valid underlying causes of death. These were all neonatal deaths, which are not assigned an underlying cause of death, and were imputed using the code in the first position on the death record. These deaths were classified as injuries.
| Cancer | ICD-10 codes |
|---|---|
| Trachea, bronchus and lung cancers | C33-C34 |
| Breast cancer | C50 |
| Prostate cancer | C61 |
| Colorectal cancer | C18-C21 |
| Pancreatic cancer | C25 |
| Ovarian cancer | C56 |
| Lymphoma and multiple myeloma | C81-C90, C96 |
| Oesophageal cancer | C15 |
| Bladder cancer | C67 |
| Leukaemia | C91-C95 |
| Corpus uteri cancer | C54-C55 |
| Stomach cancer | C16 |
| Liver cancer | C22 |
| All other cancers | C00-C14, C17, C23-24, C26-C32, C37-C41, C43-C49, C51-C53, C57-C60, C62-C66, C68-C80, C97 D00-D48 |
The residual group also contained deaths from the “ill-defined diseases”, which were proportionately assigned as above. The residual group also includes breast cancer for men. Ovarian cancer, corpus uteri cancer (women) and prostate cancer (men) are sex specific. Bladder cancer and liver cancer were not leading cancers for women, so they were included in the residual group.
The next leading cancers in the residual group of all other cancers were bladder cancer, brain and nervous system cancers, and liver cancer for women, and brain and nervous system cancers, mesothelioma, and melanoma and other skin cancers for men.
