Table explanation


This table contains the number of deaths in the population of the Netherlands by underlying cause of death. The causes of death are shown according to the extensive list of 'three digit codes', by age and sex.

Since 2013 Statistics Netherlands is using Iris software for automatic coding for cause of death. This improved the international comparison of the data. The change in coding did cause a considerable shift in the statistic. Since 2013 the (yearly) ICD-10 updates are applied.

Data available from: 1996

Status of the figures:
The figures for 2023 are provisional, all other figures are final.

Changes as of July 18th 2024:
The provisional figures for 2023 have been added.

When will new figures be published?
The aim is to publish final figures for 2023 in the fourth quarter of 2024.
