Analysing Mortality and Causes of Death 3 (ANACoD3)
The ANACoD3 online tool helps the user to perform a comprehensive and systematic analysis of mortality and cause-of-death data. The tool automatically tabulates data and presents basic mortality measures in tables and figures. It highlights potential inconsistencies and errors in the data and estimates the completeness of reporting. ANACoD3 generates indicators that reveal potential data-quality issues, as well as an array of comparable indicators including sex- and age-specific mortality rates, crude death rates, life expectancy at birth, causes of death distributed by global burden of disease categories, the top 20 causes of death, and the percentage of ill-defined causes of death.
This latest version allows for the analyses of cause-of-death data coded in ICD-10 as well as ICD-11 formats. ANACoD3 analyzes sub-national level data to inform of potential health equity issues or outbreak patterns; it also analyzes data over multiple time periods for trend analyses.
