Basic Metadata
Note: where other conditions are primary diagnosis, heat illness/injuries codes for any mention of a heat-related illness for any diagnosis category, not just the primary diagnosis. Cases listed in the standard primary diagnosis files are limited to natural heat stress occurring between May 1st - September 31st each year and only include deaths due to excessive natural heat. Heat Illness cases listed in the "any mention" files are the same but look at all occurrences in the year and additionally include deaths due to the effects of heat and light (T67 series). Coding comes from CDC definitions for Heat Mortality and Heat Stress. Condition new in 2017.
