Mortality statistics are the basis for analysing and conducting epidemiological studies focusing on the leading causes of death categorised by age, sex and other demographic parameters. These studies are the foundation for analyzing disease etiology and evaluating diagnostic practices, leading to improved disease prevention and patient care. It is therefore essential that professionals responsible for mortality registration ensure that accurate, comprehensive, reliable and timely information is provided. The aim of this article is to present an analysis of the current status of mortality reporting in Bulgaria and the advantages of reporting deaths by cause with the new revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) compared to the previous ICD-10, focusing on the effective adoption of modern technologies for more accurate and automated methods of coding deaths by cause.
