The Startup Mortality List (ICD-10-SMoL)

ICD-10 for low-resource settings

The Start-Up Mortality List (SMoL) has been designed to be in line with the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), and informs setting public health priorities and tracking progress towards national and international targets and goals. This list is designed to be a first step towards standardized reporting of causes of death in low-resource settings where capacities to code causes of death to ICD 3- or 4-digits are lacking.
