Notes: This framework was developed to be consistent with the framework developed based on ICD-9 external
cause of injury codes as published in http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/rr/rr4614.pdf
Drowning is the one external cause that has been redefined in this matrix. Codes for water transportation-related drowning, V90 and V92, are
included in the transportation codes rather than with the drowning codes. In the ICD-9 version of the matrix, the
comparable codes, E830 and E832, were included with drowning. This change was made to be consistent with other mechanisms involved with water transport-related injuries.
In this version, V81.1 and V81.2 were moved from the row for motor vehicle traffic- occupant to the row for motor vehicle traffic- other.
This version also contains the new ICD-10 codes for terrorism. The codes are bolded and are preceded with '*'. See http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/otheract/icd9/terrorism_code.htm
