International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), which is adapted from ICD-9, is used for coding morbidity in all hospitals, now in the 4th edition. It must be used for coding diagnoses which submit claims for third party payment. There are very slight differences between the two books in the Neoplasm Chapter, but the differences are shown in this book and are compiled in the last section of this book. The Topography Section of ICD-O-2 is based on the malignant neoplasms section, categories C00-C80 of the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10), so there is a close relationship between that and ICD-10. The Morphology Section of ICD-O-2 is a revised and expanded version of the Morphology Section of the ICD-O-1. This conversion has been prepared to help those who wish to compare or convert diagnoses coded according to ICD-O-2 with diagnoses coded according to the ICD-9-(CM). For example, a cancer registry may code its diagnoses by ICD-O-2, whereas the record room in the same hospital referring cases to the cancer registry may have used the ICD-9-(CM) to code its case material.

This annual overview report of national trends in health statistics contains a Chartbook that assesses the nation's health by presenting trends and current information on selected measures of morbidity, mortality, health care utilization and access, health risk factors, prevention, health insurance, and personal health-care expenditures. Chapters devoted to population characteristics, prevention, health risk factors, health care resources, personal health care expenditures, health insurance, and trend tables may provide the health/medical statistician, data analyst, biostatistician with additional information to complete experimental studies or provide necessary research for pharmaceutical companies to gain data for modeling and sampling. Undergraduate students engaged in applied mathematics or statistical compilations to graduate students completing biostatistics degree programs to include statistical inference principles, probability, sampling methods and data analysis as well as specialized medical statistics courses relating to epidemiology and other health topics may be interested in this volume.

This fully revised and corrected edition of the International Classification of Primary Care 2e (ICPC-2) is indispensable for anyone wishing to use the international classification system for classificaton of morbidity data in a primary care setting. The concept of ICPC-2 has not been changed but the main body of the actual classification (chapter 10) has been completely revised to reflect the adequate use for an individual patient record and for research purposes. This now brings the printed version of ICPC-2 completely in-line with the electronic version previously only available through the Oxford Website for the journal Family Practice. ICPC-2 is patient-oriented rather than disease or provider-oriented. It encompasses both the patient's reason for encounter and the patient's problem. ICPC-2 is extensively used internationally and includes a detailed conversion system for linking the ICPC and ICD-10 codes published by WHO, additional inclusion criteria, and cross-referencing rubrics. ICPC-2 It has been developed based on the recognition that building the appropriate primary care systems to allow the assessment and implementation of health care priorities is possible only if the right information is available to health care planners.

Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.

Data obtained by population based cancer registries have a pivotal role in cancer control.
