    U.S. Territories are Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Northern Marianas.

    To see results for the 50 states, DC, and territories combined, select both "U.S. States and D.C." and "U.S. Territories."

    About 99% of NJ resident decedents born in a U.S. territory were born in Puerto Rico.

  • Underlying Cause of Death

    All causes of death in this NJSHAD module are underlying causes of death. There are a variety of predefined causes of death to choose from. If causes on the predefined lists do not meet your needs, you may enter your own ICD-10 codes by selecting "User-defined causes."

    Choose a grouping scheme below. Default is all causes of death. Hover over blue ? bubbles or click on link bubbles for more information.

  • Leading Causes of Death

    ICD-10 codes are given in parentheses. More info

  • How to Specify ICD-10 Codes

    Enter the codes with or without the decimal point. Use a hyphen to indicate a range of codes. Use a space or comma between codes.

    Note that, for example, P23 includes all codes under P23 (congenital pneumonia), from P23.0 (Congenital pneumonia due to viral agent) to P23.9 (Congenital pneumonia, unspecified). Because the codes are alpha-numeric and not simply numeric, deaths coded simply P23_ [underscore added to show blank space] will not be included in a range from P23.0-P23.9 since P23_ is less than P23.0. P23-P24 would include all codes under P23 and P24.

Primary group by field

Defines the data's primary grouping dimension. The primary grouping is required and also controls the ordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel and other graphing packages this is typically referred to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this value/dimension is associated with table's "row" values. Others will refer to this value as the first "cross by" or the first dimension.

Optional secondary group by field

Defines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series" field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this field is associated with data table's value columns. Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified.

Optional chart graph

Defines the optional chart graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified. All other charts will only work with a maximum of 2 group bys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the series group by can NOT be used with charting or maps.

Optional Map Visualization

Defines the optional map graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps are only available when the category is set to a geographical area and does not have a series defined.
