There are various discrepancies between the above table and table 2,
owing to different methods of assessment, and for comparative purposes
therefore it is safer to group the causes of death which are linked
together. Thus code numbers 10 to 15 may be regarded as all different
kinds of cancer, while numbers 17 to 21 are all diseases of the heart and
circulation. Similarly 22 to 25 are best grouped together.
