NCHS codes the underlying cause of death according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). The ICD Ninth Revision (ICD-9) has been in use since the beginning of 1979. NCHS uses the ICD-9 codes E850-E858 for unintentional drug poisoning deaths, such as overdoses, regardless of whether the drug was administered for medical reasons. NCHS codes other drugrelated deaths as deaths due to drug dependence (ICD-9 code 304), nondependent drug abuse (305.2-305.9), suicide by drugs (E950.0-E950.5), and poisoning by drugs in which the intentions of the decedent are undetermined (E980.0-E980.5).
