Mortality rate attributed to unintentional poisoning
Indicator description

This indicator measures the mortality rate attributed to unintentional poisoning.
Geographical coverage

Unit of measurement

Per 100,000 population
Definitions

Poisonings are defined in terms of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), corresponding to the indicator codes X40, X43, X46-X48, X49.
Calculations

Death rates are calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the total population.
Other information

Estimates of mortality rate attributed to unintentional poisoning are produced through a consultative and analytical process led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and are published annually.
