Description:The National Death Index (NDI), a self-supporting service of NCHS, is a component of the National Vital Statistics System. NDI is a centralized database of death record information compiled from data received from state vital statistics offices. NCHS, in collaboration with state offices, established NDI as a resource for epidemiological follow-up studies and other types of health and medical studies that require determination of the mortality status of study subjects. These mortality data are provided by the states under contracts with NCHS that specify how these data may be used, for what purposes, and at what costs. Currently, NDI contains more than 100 million records from 1979 through 2019 from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. As of 2017, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Marianas are also included. Recently, information has been added on deaths from records received after the year of death and on out-of-country deaths of U.S. military personnel (per the U.S. Defense Department). No information is currently available on out-of-country deaths of civilian U.S. citizens (per the U.S. State Department).
