Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here

0. Extension
Definition	The ICD-10 code representing the cause of death.
Short	Cause of Death Code
Control	0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifier	false
Must Support	false
2. Extension.value[x]
Definition	Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).
Short	Value of extension
Control	0..1
Type	CodeableConcept
[x] Note	SeeChoice of Data Typesfor further information about how to use [x]
Is Modifier	false
Must Support	false
Summary	false
4. Extension.value[x].coding
Definition	A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.
Short	Code defined by a terminology system
Comments	Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.
Control	0..*
Type	Coding
Is Modifier	false
Must Support	false
Summary	true
Requirements	Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.
6. Extension.value[x].coding.code
Definition	A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).
Short	Symbol in syntax defined by the system
Control	0..1
Type	code
Is Modifier	false
Primitive Value	This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Must Support	false
Summary	true
Requirements	Need to refer to a particular code in the system.
Invariants	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`)
8. Extension.value[x].text
Definition	A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.
Short	Plain text representation of the concept
Comments	Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.
Control	0..1
Type	string
Is Modifier	false
Primitive Value	This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Must Support	false
Summary	true
Requirements	The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.
Invariants	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`)
