DEATH table--Multiple standard codes for under lying cause of death

Hello,

We are working on populating Death table in our environment for which we receive underlying death cause from our source as ICD 10 codes, when we do a mapping to SNOMED to get the standard concept codes, we find that some of the ICD 10 codes map to more than 1 SNOMED code under the same domain (Condition). Was wondering what the community does in these scenarios. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@anoop.yamsani:

This has been discussed in the Forum before right here. I’d ask those folks what they ended up deciding.
