Morbitity and Mortality Summary Stats

Veterinary laboratory submissions often include a summary of morbidity and mortality in the population of animals being treated. We have tentatively mapped the population size (denominator) to 43138-7 Population size Investigation. But we don’t find anything for the two numerators: number ill and number dead.

Are we looking at this wrong? Have we just failed to find them? Or do we need to request codes?

Thanks.
