Abstract：Objective We intended to explore a decoding method for earthquake casualty statistics,in order to improve the efficiencies of rescue and statistics.Methods Taking Wenchuan and Yushu earthquakes as a base database,we analyzed their diagnose records statistically.A 4 digit class and 5 digit sub-class earthquake disease coding system was constructed from most of diagnose items,in combination with ICD-10 code expression.Results With the application of this coding system to record situations on earthquake rescuing field,the rescuing efficiency and data accuracy can be both improved.Conclusion This earthquake disease coding system could implement statistical analysis swiftly,get a disease profile mode and provide support for the rescue decision.
