ICD-API DORIS Suport

DORIS is a multilingual software developed to facilitate the identification of the underlying cause of death. This tool examines the information provided on the death certificates and assists in automatically selecting the underlying cause of death following the mortality rules of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) that have been fully digitalized.

ICD-API contains full functionality of DORIS for those who want to integrate it into their mortality systems.

We support two ways of calling the DORIS endpoint GET and POST. With GET you can provide information on the death certificate as parameters whereas is POST you can submit a death certificate in the standard format to be processed by the system. Detailed information on how to make calls can be found in Open API (Swagger) documentation

In both GET and POST, DORIS responds with an object that contains the processed information.

This object contains the following fields description:
