description: 'Entity Axis Cause Of Death (Observation):   Up to 20 of instances of this profile may be included in a coding bundle.  \nEach instance is labeled with its lineNumber, Position and e-code indicator.\n\nEntity Axis codes represent the raw data as originally reported on the death certificate by the certifier, maintaining the order and position of conditions as they appeared on the death certificate.\nThey include codes for all causes of death listed, including duplicate codes and potentially contradictory information.'
