Causes of Death: Environmental-Related Respiratory Diseases, 2017-2019

The National Board of Health and Welfare's statistical database provides mortality rates per 100,000 inhabitants for specific environmental-related diseases. Data covers the years 2017 to 2019 and includes deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and lung diseases of external causes. The dataset originates from Sweden's Lantmäteriet organization and was last updated in the platform in May 2018.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in COPD mortality rates based on the J44 code data
• Investigate asthma-related deaths based on the J45-J46 code data
• Study mortality from lung diseases of external causes based on the J60-J70 code data
• Compare standardized mortality rates per 100,000 inhabitants across the 2017-2019 period

Strengths

• Data is standardized per 100,000 inhabitants, enabling population-adjusted comparisons
• Covers a defined three-year time range (2017-2019)
• Focuses on specific ICD-10 code groups (J44, J45-J46, J60-J70) for clear disease categorization

Limitations

• Last updated 2018-05-31 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
