SUMMARY:Training Course on Coding Historical Causes of Death
DESCRIPTION:The recently launched ICD10h coding system is designed to support historical demographers and historians in coding historical causes of death. Widespread adoption of this system across diverse countries and linguistic contexts will significantly enhance the comparability of research on historical cause-specific mortality patterns\, while preserving the integrity of the historical context. \nWith the coding manual and the English historical causes of death strings file\, researchers can begin coding causes of death. However\, this process also involves tidying\, parsing\, and determining primary causes of death. This training course will guide participants through each of these essential steps. \nOver the course of 2 days\, participants will explore best practices for tidying cause-of-death data\, including identifying the key elements of written strings that are crucial for coding and determining which aspects should be flagged within datasets. We will also focus on effective parsing strategies\, addressing how to parse natural causes of death and distinguishing the parsing and coding of violent causes. Additionally\, time will be dedicated to the actual coding process—how to select the appropriate code and achieve this efficiently. \nWe invite researchers at all stages of their academic careers to apply\, with a special emphasis on PhD candidates working with historical causes of death. Applicants should possess a basic understanding of historical causes of death and bring their own dataset of causes to work on during the course. \nA maximum of 20 participants will be selected\, of whom around ten will be eligible for reimbursement of their travel expenses\, based on the COST-Action regulations. \nTo apply\, please apply using this form\, providing following information: \n\nYour name and affiliation\nCareer stage\nA brief summary of your research and dataset\nA short motivation for attending the course\nWhether you want to apply for reimbursement\n\nWe look forward to receiving your applications \nApplications should be submitted before 1st April 2025. Successful applicants will be informed by email on\, or before 25th April 2025. \n

SUMMARY:First Virtual Meeting ICD10h Historic Strings (WG2)
DESCRIPTION:The first meeting of the subgroup ‘ICD10h Historic Strings’ of Working Group 2: Methods and tools for standardization\, coding and classifying causes of death takes place on Friday 29 November 14:00-15:00 CET. \nTEAMS \nThe 2024 version of ICD10h comes with a set of Historic Strings in the English language. These include tidied phrases\,[1] describing diseases\, conditions\, injuries and circumstances contributing to a death\, which have been encountered in individual-level historic cause of death datasets\, together with the ICD10h code and standardised description which appear in the ICD10h Masterlist. This is an extremely useful additional resource for those coding individual level deaths in the English language. \nFor example: \n\n\n\nHistoricString\nICD10h\nICD10hDescription\n\n\nTetanus infantile\nA33.000\nTetanus neonatorum\n\n\nTrismus nascentium\nA33.000\nTetanus neonatorum\n\n\nIdiopathic tetanus\nA35.000\nOther tetanus\n\n\nTetanic convulsions\nA35.000\nOther tetanus\n\n\ntetanus\nA35.000\nOther tetanus\n\n\nTetanus traumatic\nA35.000\nOther tetanus\n\n\nTraumatic tetanus\nA35.000\nOther tetanus\n\n\nlockjaw\nA35.001\nLockjaw\n\n\ntrismus\nA35.002\nTrismus\n\n\n\nWe would like to produce similar lists for other languages (as well as add to the English language list)\, and need the input of people coding their own datasets to ICD10h. This will involve more than just ingesting people’s coded datasets: the codes assigned will need to be checked and original cause of death strings tidied in order to make sure that strings which mean the same have been allocated the same ICD10 code\, both within the dataset from which they were derived and across different datasets. We recognise the desirability of individual researchers maintaining primary use of their own dataset for analysis\, so we ask that only unique strings with ICD10h codes are submitted. We also appreciate the need for the input and intellectual property of contributors to be recognised\, so we propose that all contributors of data and members of the working group are listed as authors of the Historic Strings file when it is published. \nWe envisage the process taking place as follows: \n\nWe start with a relatively small numbers of languages or language groups\, and each language (group) forms a Sub Working Group.\nMembers of the working group submit their unique strings with ICD10h codes (and source other coded data in that language if available).\nOne or more members combine the different strings and run through a system of checks to ensure consistency of code allocation between and within datasets.\nWorking group meets to discuss and resolve conflicts.\nHistoricStrings[Language] is deposited with authorship of the full sub working group.\n\n[1] By ‘tidied’ we mean spellings corrected\, excess white space removed\, extraneous characters removed\, and so on. It is also important to note that these are single causes which have sometimes been ‘parsed out’ of a longer list of causes assigned to one death.

SUMMARY:First Virtual Meeting ICD10h Classifications (WG2)
DESCRIPTION:The first meeting of the subgroup ICD10 Classifications of Working Group 2: Methods and tools for standardization\, coding and classifying causes of death takes place on Thursday 21 November 10:45-11:45 CET.  \nTEAMS \nMore information regarding the first meeting: \nThe 2024 version of ICD10h comes with two classifications designed for use with historic causes of death over time. The first of these is HistCat – a general historic categorisation designed to allow English language causes to be compared to the changing English/Welsh and Scottish nosologies from the mid 19th century onwards. The second is InfantCat\, which is designed for use with infant death\, separating out some causes of particular interest in infancy\, and combining others which are rare at that time of life. A third classification for use with child deaths is under construction. \nWe would like to produce mappings of ICD10h codes onto other categorisations to facilitate comparisons with other research and with historic published data. Useful categorisations include (but are not limited to) ICD1\, ICD2 … ICD9\, BeRaSaRo classification\, classifications used in particular countries.We would also like to produce a morbidity classification\, and perhaps other classifications for other age groups (eg old age) or disease groups (eg tuberculosis). \nWe would therefore like to set up a series of sub working groups to work on mapping ICD10h codes to specific classifications. For the best outcome\, each sub working group (one per classification) would include effort from a small group of people\, to enable the allocation of codes to be checked and conflicts resolved. The resulting classifications\, with their constituent ICD10h codes\, will be published under the authorship of the working group members. \nWe envisage this working as follows: \n\nWe choose a small number of categorisations to start with.\nAppropriate working groups are then formed.\nWithin each working group\, members separately map ICD10h codes onto the classification.\nOne or more members combines the mappings\, performs some basic checks and identifies conflicts in the coding.\nThe working group meets to discuss and resolve the conflicts.\nThe ICD10h-classification mapping is deposited with authorship assigned to all members of that particular sub working group.

SUMMARY:Thematic Workshop: Tuberculosis: The White Death as a Social Disease
DESCRIPTION:Background:\nTuberculosis has been a significant public health concern\, affecting millions of people worldwide throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries\, and even nowadays in certain parts of the world. It has captivated attention due to its profound impact and intriguing debates. Tuberculosis held a dominant position as the leading cause of death at various stages of life\, especially during young adulthood. Additionally\, the persistent nature of tuberculosis led to a high prevalence and burden of the disease. Unresolved discussions have centred around the key factors influencing geographical\, gender\, age\, and temporal disparities in mortality\, with a particular focus on the role of resistance (which can be affected by nutrition as well as other interfering diseases) versus exposure. These debates encompass differentials in tuberculosis mortality between men and women\, disparities in urban-rural and other geographical patterns\, and the underlying factors contributing to the decline in mortality during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. One central point of contention concerns the reasons behind higher death rates from tuberculosis among women compared to men\, and whether this disparity was attributable to inherent female susceptibility\, inadequate nutrition\, or differential exposure. A prominent viewpoint posited that the elevated tuberculosis rates among women resulted from their weaker bargaining power within households\, leading to inferior nutrition (McNay\, Humphries and Klasen 2005). The geographic patterns of tuberculosis mortality were not straightforward either. Researchers have suggested that high tuberculosis rates in rural areas could be attributed to the return migration of individuals (especially women) who had contracted the disease in urban settings (Cronje 1984; Hinde 2015). Nutrition also emerged as a factor implicated in the substantial decline of tuberculosis during the late nineteenth century (McKeown 1976). The decline in tuberculosis has traditionally been also attributed to improving living standards\, better housing\, hygiene and sanitary reforms\, and improvements in environmental conditions (among others\, Gronjé 1984; Pooley and Pooley 1984; Puranen 1991; Vögele 1988). \nDespite the severity and significant mortality associated with tuberculosis in historical populations\, the investigation of the disease’s demographic characteristics has unfortunately received relatively limited attention. Significant gaps exist in the available evidence concerning the trend of tuberculosis mortality and morbidity\, with a predominant focus on historical North-Western Europe\, specifically Britain and/or North America. This leaves a noticeable dearth of information from Eastern and Southern Europe\, but also beyond Europe (i.e.\, South America\, Asia\, and Africa)\, hindering a comprehensive understanding of the disease’s impact in these regions. \nThe workshop is organized by the IUSSP Scientific Panel on ‘Epidemics and Contagious Diseases: The Legacy of the Past’\, in collaboration with the University of Sassari\, Italy and our COST-Action GREATLEAP. \nThe workshop will be held in Alghero\, Sardinia\, 26-27 September 2024\, hosted by the Department of Economic and Business Sciences at the University of Sassari. \nFull programme  \nOrganisers:\n\nLucia Pozzi (University of Sassari\, Italy)\nMichail Raftakis (University of Bologna\, Italy)\nGabriele Ruiu (University of Sassari\, Italy)\n\nIf you have any questions regarding the workshop\, please contact lpozzi@uniss.it\, michail.raftakis@unibo.it\, and gruiu@uniss.it.
