Title
Deep neural models for ICD-10 coding of death certificates and autopsy reports in free-text.
Abstract
•We propose a neural model for ICD-10 coding of text describing causes of death.•We describe the application to data from the Portuguese Ministry of Health.•The proposed model makes accurate predictions, outperforming simpler baselines.•We show accuracies of 89%, 81%, and 76%, for ICD chapters, blocks, and full-codes.•The model can produce interpretable results, useful for public health surveillance.
