Profile on Condition representing the underlying cause of death as documented on the WHO Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCoD).

The underlying cause of death is defined by WHO as: (a) the disease or injury which initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death, or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury.

This profile is MANDATORY — every MCCoD document SHALL contain exactly one instance of this profile (enforced in MCCoDComposition).

Distinction from MCCoDCauseOfDeathCondition: This profile does NOT carry a line position extension. It is conceptually separate from the causal chain (lines a–d). Per WHO DORIS methodology for ICD-11, the underlying cause may be a condition that does not appear on any line of the causal chain — for example, when a DORIS selection or modification rule identifies a different condition as the initiating cause.

DORIS flag: The mccod-doris-derived extension SHALL be present. When true, the Condition.code SHOULD use the ICD-11 MMS system URI.

Coding: Condition.code.text is always required. Condition.code.coding is optional, with extensible binding to mccod-cause-of-death-codes.

Country extensions: Member countries MAY extend this profile to add national identifiers or additional coding requirements.
