Value set for the place of occurrence of the external cause of death, as documented on the WHO Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCoD), Frame B.

This value set is applicable only when the manner of death involves an external cause. It SHOULD be populated when manner of death is one of: Assault, Accident, Legal Intervention, Intentional Self Harm, or War. This conditional requirement is enforced at the profile level in MCCoDInjuryIncident.

This value set includes all codes from the AeHIN MCCoD Place of Injury code system. It is bound REQUIRED to the MCCoDInjuryIncident Observation profile.

Special handling for 'other': When the code 'other' is selected, the certifying practitioner SHALL provide a free-text description of the place in the Observation.valueCodeableConcept.text element. This is enforced by an invariant in the MCCoDInjuryIncident profile.

Guidance for member countries: Countries wishing to map these codes to ICD-11 place of occurrence codes (ICD-11 Chapter 23, XS codes) or SNOMED CT location codes SHOULD do so in their national implementation guide. No additional codes SHALL be added at the regional level.

ICD-11 cross-reference (informative, not binding):

  • At Home → XE266 (Home)
  • Residential Institution → XE9DC (Residential institution)
  • School or educational area → XE6TU (School or educational area)
  • Sports and Athletics → XE7K0 (Sports and athletics area)
  • Public highway, street or road → XE5NE (Public highway, street or road)
  • Commercial area (non-recreational) → XE48U (Commercial area (non-recreational))
  • Industrial and Construction → XE7T4 (Industrial and construction area)
  • Farm or other place of primary production → XE9CS (Farm or other place of primary production)
