❖ ICD 11
Statistical Classification of
Disease
It is a
method of grouping of items scientifically according to purpose
&
codifying them with numerical (or alpha- numerical) identification according to
certain principles.
A statistical classification can allow for different levels of detail if
it has a hierarchical structure with subdivisions.
It should retain the ability both to identify specific disease
entities and to allow statistical presentation of data for broader
groups, to enable useful and understandable information to be
obtained.
ICD
ICD is the foundation for the identification of health trends and statistics globally,
and the international standard for reporting diseases and health conditions. It is
the diagnostic classification standard for all clinical and research purposes. ICD
defines the universe of diseases, disorders, injuries and other related health
conditions, listed in a comprehensive, hierarchical fashion.
❑ Easy storage, retrieval and analysis of health information for evidenced-based decision-
making
❑ Sharing and comparing health information between hospitals, regions, settings and
countries
❑ Data comparisons in the same location across different time periods
Purpose and uses
❑ It is the diagnostic classification standard for all clinical and research
purposes.
1. These include monitoring of the incidence and prevalence of disease
2. observing reimbursements and resource allocation trends,
3. keeping track of safety and quality guidelines.
History
The first international classification edition, known as the International List of Causes of
Death, was adopted by the International Statistical Institute in 1893.
WHO was entrusted with the ICD at its creation in 1948 and published the 6th version,
ICD-6, that incorporated morbidity for the first time. The WHO Nomenclature Regulations,
adopted in 1967, stipulate that Member States use the most current ICD revision for
national and international recording and reporting mortality and morbidity statistics.
ICD-10 was endorsed in May 1990 by the Forty-third World Health Assembly. It is cited in
more than 20,000 scientific articles and used by more than 150 countries around the
world and has been translated into more than 40 languages.
India adopted this classification in the year
2000.
ICD 9 ICD 10
❖Smaller then ICD 10
❖17 Chapters in ICD-9
❖Numeric codes ( 001-999 ) were used
in ICD-9
❖Much larger than ICD-9
❖ICD-10 has 21 chapters
❖alphanumeric coding, (A00-Z99) has
been adopted in ICD-10
❖enlarged the number of categories
available for the classification
❖Further detail by means of decimal
numeric subdivisions at the four
character level.

- Constitutional or general diseases
- Local diseases arranged by site
- Developmental diseases
- Injuries.

XXII U00–U99 Codes for special purposes
Basic coding guidelines
1. The basic ICD is a single coded list of three- character categories, each of
which can be further divided into up to 10 four-character subcategories.
2. Three-character categories is mandatory level of coding for international
reporting to the WHO mortality database and for general international
comparisons.
3. Tenth Revision uses an alphanumeric code with a letter in the first position
and a number in the second, third and fourth positions.
❑ Some three-character categories have been left vacant for future
expansion / Revision
❑ Codes U00–U49 are to be used by WHO for the provisional
assignment of new diseases of uncertain etiology.
❑ Codes U50–U99 may be used in research, e.g. when testing an
alternative sub-classification for a special project.
❑The fourth character follows a decimal point.
❑ Possible code numbers therefore range from A00.0 to
Z99.9.
❑Fill fourth position with X , when sub-division is not
there, so that the codes are of a standard length for
data-processing.

▪ Chapter XIX- subdivisions to indicate open and closed fractures as well as
intracranial, intrathoracic and intra-abdominal injuries with and without
open wound

Inclusion terms- Within the three- and four-character rubrics, there are usually listed a number
of other diagnostic terms.
These are known as ‘inclusion terms’ and
are given, in addition to the title.
Rubric - In the context of the ICD, rubric denotes either a three-character category or a four-
character subcategory.
Exclusion terms- Certain rubrics contain lists of conditions preceded by the word
“Excludes”. These are terms which are classified elsewhere.
A06 Amoebiasis
Incl.: infection due to Entamoeba histolytica
Excl.: other protozoal intestinal
diseases (A07.-)
Cont…
Glossary descriptions- Chapter V, Mental and behavioural disorders, uses glossary
descriptions to indicate the content of rubrics.
This device is used because the terminology of
mental disorders varies greatly
Chapter V
Mental and behavioural disorders
(F00-F99)
Organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders
(F00-F09)
Example…
F00* Dementia in Alzheimer disease (G30.-†)
Alzheimer disease is a primary degenerative
cerebral disease of unknown etiology with characteristic
neuropathological and neurochemical features. The
disorder is usually insidious in onset and develops slowly
but steadily over a period of several years.
F00.0* Dementia in Alzheimer disease with early onset
(G30.0†)
……………………….
2 codes for certain conditions
The “dagger and asterisk” system
There are two codes for diagnostic statements containing information about
both
an underlying generalized disease and
a manifestation in a particular organ or site which is a clinical problem in its
own right.
This convention was provided because coding to underlying disease alone was
often unsatisfactory for compiling statistics relating to particular specialties.
Cont.…
The primary code is for the underlying disease and is E.g.,
marked with a dagger (†);
an optional additional code for the
manifestation is marked with an asterisk (*).
A17† Tuberculosis of nervous system
A17.0† Tuberculous meningitis (G01*)
Tuberculosis of meninges (cerebral)(spinal)
Tuberculous leptomeningitis
A17.1† Meningeal tuberculoma (G07*)
Tuberculoma of meninges
Cont.…
❖ It is a principle of the ICD that the dagger code is the
primary code and must always be used.
❖ For coding, the asterisk code must never be used
alone.
❖ However for morbidity coding, the dagger and asterisk
sequence may be reversed when the manifestations of
a disease is the primary focus of care.
Cont.….
Rubrics in which dagger-marked terms appear may take one of three different
forms.
If the dagger (†) and the alternative asterisk code both appear in the rubric
heading, all terms classifiable to that rubric are subject to dual classification
and all have the same alternative code, e.g.:
A17.0† Tuberculous meningitis (G01*)
Tuberculosis of meninges (spinal)
Tuberculous leptomeningitis.
If the dagger appears in the rubric heading but the alternative asterisk code
does not, all terms classifiable to that rubric are subject to dual classification
but they have different alternative codes (which are listed for each term), e.g:
A18.1† Tuberculosis of genitourinary system Tuberculosis of:
bladder (N33.0*)
cervix (N74.0*)
kidney (N29.1*)
Cont..
If neither the dagger nor the alternative code appears in the title,
the rubric as a whole is not subject to dual classification but
individual inclusion terms may be; if so, these terms will be
marked with the dagger and their alternative codes given, e.g.:
A02.2 Localized salmonella infections Salmonella:
arthritis† (M01.3*)
meningitis† (G01*)
Volume 3
Volume 3 is divided into three sections as
follows:
Section-I lists all the terms classifiable to Chapters I-XIX and
Chapter XXI,
except drugs and other chemicals
Section II is the index of external causes of morbidity and
mortality and contains all the terms classifiable to Chapter XX,
except drugs and other chemicals.
Cont..
Section III gives Table of Drugs and Chemicals lists for
substance the codes for poisonings & adverse effects of drugs
(under Chapter XIX )
This volume also includes the Chapter XX codes that indicate
whether the poisoning was accidental, deliberate (self-harm),
undetermined, or an adverse effect of a correct substance
properly administered.
WHO: Help-Line
There are nine WHO Collaborating Centers for Classification of
Diseases, who assist countries with problems encountered in
the development and use of health-related classifications and, in
particular, in the use of the ICD
Australia, England and USA for English knowing countries.
Besides, there are at France, Russia, China, Venezuela Sweden,
Brazil
Problem encountered
✔ Size of the Classification
✔ No formal training
✔ No user-friendly software to guide
✔ Inadequate staff in MRD
✔ Use of nonstandard abbreviations
✔ Delay/ incomplete case sheets
✔ Procedure (instead of diagnosis) are written
✔ Manually done – very slow and difficult
ICD 11
❖ICD-11 has been adopted by the Seventy-second World Health Assembly in May 2019 and comes
into effect on 1 January 2022.

Cont.…
For the first time , through advancement in information technology, public
health users, stakeholders and others interested can provide input to the
beta version of ICD-11 using an online revision process.
Peer-reviewed comments and input will be added through the revision period.
When finalized, ICD-11 will be ready to use with electronic health records
and information systems.

ICD Limitations
❑ ICD does not provide sufficient detail for some
specialties and sometimes information on different
attributes of health conditions may be needed.
❑ The ICD also is not useful to describe functioning
and disability as aspects of health, and does not
include a full array of health interventions or reasons
for encounter.

Cont.… ❖ It is a principle of the ICD that the dagger code is the primary code and must always be used. ❖ For coding, the asterisk code must never be used alone. ❖ However for morbidity coding, the dagger and asterisk sequence may be reversed when the manifestations of a disease is the primary focus of care.
  • 32. Cont.…. Rubrics in which dagger-marked terms appear may take one of three different forms. If the dagger (†) and the alternative asterisk code both appear in the rubric heading, all terms classifiable to that rubric are subject to dual classification and all have the same alternative code, e.g.: A17.0† Tuberculous meningitis (G01*) Tuberculosis of meninges (spinal) Tuberculous leptomeningitis.
  • 33. If the dagger appears in the rubric heading but the alternative asterisk code does not, all terms classifiable to that rubric are subject to dual classification but they have different alternative codes (which are listed for each term), e.g: A18.1† Tuberculosis of genitourinary system Tuberculosis of: bladder (N33.0*) cervix (N74.0*) kidney (N29.1*)
  • 34. Cont.. If neither the dagger nor the alternative code appears in the title, the rubric as a whole is not subject to dual classification but individual inclusion terms may be; if so, these terms will be marked with the dagger and their alternative codes given, e.g.: A02.2 Localized salmonella infections Salmonella: arthritis† (M01.3*) meningitis† (G01*)
  • 35. Volume 3 Volume 3 is divided into three sections as follows: Section-I lists all the terms classifiable to Chapters I-XIX and Chapter XXI, except drugs and other chemicals Section II is the index of external causes of morbidity and mortality and contains all the terms classifiable to Chapter XX, except drugs and other chemicals.
  • 36. Cont.. Section III gives Table of Drugs and Chemicals lists for substance the codes for poisonings & adverse effects of drugs (under Chapter XIX ) This volume also includes the Chapter XX codes that indicate whether the poisoning was accidental, deliberate (self-harm), undetermined, or an adverse effect of a correct substance properly administered.
  • 37. WHO: Help-Line There are nine WHO Collaborating Centers for Classification of Diseases, who assist countries with problems encountered in the development and use of health-related classifications and, in particular, in the use of the ICD Australia, England and USA for English knowing countries. Besides, there are at France, Russia, China, Venezuela Sweden, Brazil
  • 38. Problem encountered ✔ Size of the Classification ✔ No formal training ✔ No user-friendly software to guide ✔ Inadequate staff in MRD ✔ Use of nonstandard abbreviations ✔ Delay/ incomplete case sheets ✔ Procedure (instead of diagnosis) are written ✔ Manually done – very slow and difficult
  • 39. ICD 11 ❖ICD-11 has been adopted by the Seventy-second World Health Assembly in May 2019 and comes into effect on 1 January 2022. ❖ Internet-based permanent platform ❖ Open to all people in a structured way ❖ Content experts focus ❖ Digital curation ❖ Wiki enabled collaboration ❖ Ontology based ❖ Enhanced discussion & peer review ❖ TAGs serve as the editorial group ❖ Electronic copy print version (multiple languages)
  • 40. Cont.… For the first time , through advancement in information technology, public health users, stakeholders and others interested can provide input to the beta version of ICD-11 using an online revision process. Peer-reviewed comments and input will be added through the revision period. When finalized, ICD-11 will be ready to use with electronic health records and information systems.

Cont.… • The global standard for health data, clinical documentation, and statistical aggregation • Multiple uses, including primary care • Scientifically up-to-date • Designed for use in a digital world • State-of-the-art technology reduces the costs of training and implementation • Multilingual design facilitates global use • Proposal platform allows stakeholder participation in keeping ICD–11 up-to-date. • 17.000 categories, 80.000 concepts, 120.000 terms, >1.6 million clinical terms interpreted
  • 42. Uses of ICD ✔Monitoring of the incidence and prevalence of diseases, ✔Causes of death ✔External causes of illess ✔Codes for antimicrobial resistance, in line with GLASS ✔Primary care and family medicine concepts have been incorporated into ICD-11 ✔Medicaments (INN - ATC), allergens and chemicals, histopathology (ICD-O 3.2), are embedded in ICD-11 ✔Codes for full documentation of patient safety, in line with the WHO patient safety framework ✔Dual coding for traditional medicine diagnoses ✔Primary care settings ✔Recording of rare diseases ✔Casemix or Diagnosis Related Groupings (DRG), resource allocation ✔Embedding of guidelines
  • 43. ICD Limitations ❑ ICD does not provide sufficient detail for some specialties and sometimes information on different attributes of health conditions may be needed. ❑ The ICD also is not useful to describe functioning and disability as aspects of health, and does not include a full array of health interventions or reasons for encounter.
