The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the standard diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management and clinical purposes.

It is used to classify diseases and other health problems recorded on many types of health and vital records including death certificates and health records.

In addition to enabling the storage and retrieval of diagnostic information for clinical, epidemiological and quality purposes,
these records also provide the basis for the compilation of national mortality and morbidity statistics by WHO Member States.
