    Codes for water transporatation-related drowning, E830 and E832, are included in the transportation codes rather than with the drowning codes.

    The new terrorism codes are shown in bold. See http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/otheract/icd9/terrorism_code.htm

    Before 2001, E999 (Late effect of injury due to war operations) was classified as 'Other' intention along with E990-E998. With the new codes for terrorism (see NCHS website) E979 was added and E999 was divided and moved. In IBIS prior to this change, E999 was coded with the intention as 'Other.' Now, (as of 2005), E999 is coded with the intention as 'Homicide' according to the NCHS guidelines
