Underlying and contributing causes of mortality from CDC WONDER—Insights for researchers
Data within the commonly utilized multiple cause of death files from CDC WONDER demonstrate that reliance solely on the underlying cause of mortality may underestimate important contributions of common contributing causes. These findings could aid in the understanding of published research and may shape the framework for future studies utilizing multiple cause of death data through CDC WONDER.
