Introduction
A classification of diseases may be defined as a system of categories to which morbid entities are
assigned according to established criteria. There are many possible axes of classification and the
one selected will depend upon the use to be made of the statistics to be compiled. A statistical
classification of diseases must encompass the entire range of morbid conditions within a
manageable number of categories.
The Tenth Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health
Problems is the latest in a series that was formalized in 1893 as the Bertillon Classification or
International List of Causes of Death. A complete review of the historical background to the
classification is given in Part 2a Instruction Manual (NCHS). While the title has been amended
to make clearer the content and purpose and to reflect the progressive extension of the scope of
the classification beyond diseases and injuries, the familiar abbreviation "ICD" has been
retained. In the updated classification, conditions have been grouped in a way that was felt to be
most suitable for general epidemiological purposes and the evaluation of health care.
Work on the Tenth Revision of the ICD started in September 1983 when a Preparatory Meeting
on ICD-10 was convened in Geneva. The programme of work was guided by regular meetings of
Heads of WHO Collaborating Centres for Classification of Diseases. Policy guidance was
provided by a number of special meetings including those of the Expert Committee on the
International Classification of Disease - Tenth Revision, held in 1984 and 1987.
In addition to the technical contributions provided by many specialist groups and individual
experts, a large number of comments and suggestions were received from WHO Member States
and Regional Offices as a result of the global circulation of draft proposals for revision in 1984
and 1986. From the comments received, it was clear that many users wished the ICD to
encompass types of data other than the "diagnostic information" (in the broadest sense of the
term) that it has always covered. In order to accommodate the perceived needs of these users, the
concept arose of a "family" of classifications centred on the traditional ICD with its familiar
form and structure. The ICD itself would thus meet the requirement for diagnostic information
for general purposes, while a variety of other classifications would be used in conjunction with it
and would deal either with different approaches to the same information or with different
information (notably medical and surgical procedures and disablement).

INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
Following suggestions at the time of development of the Ninth Revision of the classification that
a different basic structure might better serve the needs of the many and varied users, several
alternative models were evaluated. It became clear, however, that the traditional
single-variable-axis design of the classification, and other aspects of its structure that gave
emphasis to conditions that were frequent, costly or otherwise of public health importance, had
withstood the test of time and that many users would be unhappy with any of the models that had
been proposed as a possible replacement.
Consequently, as study of the Tenth Revision will show, the traditional ICD structure has been
retained but an alphanumeric coding scheme replaces the previous numeric one. This provides a
larger coding frame and leaves room for future revision without disruption of the numbering
system, as has occurred at previous revisions.
In order to make optimum use of the available space, certain disorders of the immune mechanism
are included with diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs (Chapter III). New chapters
have been created for diseases of the eye and adnexa and diseases of the ear and mastoid process.
The former supplementary classifications of external causes and of factors influencing health
status and contact with health services now form part of the main classification.
The dagger and asterisk system of dual classification for certain diagnostic statements,
introduced in the Ninth Revision, has been retained and extended, with the asterisk axis being
contained in homogeneous categories at the three-character level.
The presentation of the classification has been changed and there are now three volumes:
Volume 1. Tabular List. This contains the Report of the International Conference for the Tenth
Revision, the classification itself at the three- and four-character levels, the classification of the
morphology of neoplasms, special tabulation lists for mortality and morbidity, definitions, and
the nomenclature regulations.
Part 2a. Instruction Manual. This brings together the notes on certification and classification
formerly included in Volume 1 with a good deal of new background and instructional matter and
guidance on the use of Volume 1, on tabulations, and on planning for the use of ICD, which was
seen as lacking in earlier revisions. It also includes the historical material formerly presented in
the introduction to Volume 1.

The classification was approved by the International Conference for the Tenth Revision of the
International Classification of Diseases in 1989 and adopted by the Forty-third World Health
Assembly in the following resolution:
Having considered the report of the International Conference for the Tenth Revision of the
International Classification of Diseases;
(1) the detailed list of three-character categories and optional four-character subcategories
with the Short Tabulation Lists for Mortality and Morbidity, constituting the Tenth
Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health
Problems, due to come into effect on 1 January 1993;
(2) the definitions, standards and reporting requirements related to maternal, fetal,
perinatal, neonatal and infant mortality;
(3) the rules and instructions for underlying cause coding for mortality and main
condition coding for morbidity;
(1) the concept and implementation of the family of disease and health-related
classifications, with the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related
Health Problems as the core classification surrounded by a number of related and
supplementary classifications and the International Nomenclature of Diseases;
(2) the establishment of an updating process within the ten-year revision cycle.

The periodic revision of the ICD has, since the Sixth Revision in 1948, been coordinated by the
World Health Organization. As the use of the classification has increased, so, understandably,
has the desire among its users to contribute to the revision process. The Tenth Revision is the
product of a vast amount of international activity, cooperation and compromise. WHO
acknowledges with gratitude the contributions of the international and national specialist groups
and individuals in numerous many countries.

WHO Collaborating Centres for
Classification of Diseases
Nine WHO Collaborating Centres for Classification of Diseases have been established to assist
countries with problems encountered in the development and use of health-related classifications
and, in particular, in the use of the ICD.
It is important that countries bring to the attention of the respective Centre any significant
problems they might encounter in the use of the ICD and especially when a new disease for
which the ICD does not provide a suitable classification is encountered frequently. Until now the
ICD has not been updated between revisions but it has been proposed that, through the Centres, a
mechanism will be introduced to provide suitable codes for new diseases where necessary.
In addition to the official WHO Collaborating Centres, there are a number of national reference
centres and individual users should first consult these, or their appropriate national office, when
they encounter problems.
There are three Centres for English-language users. Communications should be addressed to the
Head, WHO Collaborating Centre for Classification of Diseases at:

INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
The Conference was opened by Dr J.-P. Jardel, Assistant Director-General, on behalf of the
Director-General. Dr Jardel spoke of the extensive consultations and preparatory work that had
gone into the revision proposals and had necessitated a longer than usual interval between
revisions. He noted that the Tenth Revision would have a new title, International Statistical
Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, to emphasize its statistical purpose and
reflect the widening of its scope. The convenient abbreviation ICD would, however, be retained.
He also mentioned the new alphanumeric coding scheme, which had made it possible to provide
a better balance between the content of the chapters and to leave room for future additions and
changes, as well as the intention to produce an ICD manual of three-character categories with an
alphabetical index for use where the more complex detailed four-character version would be
inappropriate.

REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The secretariat of the Conference was assisted by representatives of other relevant technical units
of WHO headquarters.
The Conference adopted an agenda dealing with the proposed content of the chapters of the
Tenth Revision, and material to be incorporated in the published manual; the process for its
introduction; and the family of classifications and related matters.
The Conference was reminded of the impressive history of a statistical classification which dated
back to the eighteenth century. While early revisions of the classification had been concerned
only with causes of death, its scope had been extended at the Sixth Revision in 1948 to include
non-fatal diseases. This extension had continued through the Ninth Revision, with certain
innovations being made to meet the statistical needs of widely differing organizations. In
addition, at the International Conference for the Ninth Revision (Geneva, 1975) (1),
recommendations had been made and approved for the publication for trial purposes of
supplementary classifications of procedures in medicine and of impairments, disabilities, and
handicaps.
The proposals before the Conference were the product of a vast amount of activity at WHO
headquarters and around the world. The programme of work had been guided by regular
meetings of the heads of WHO Collaborating Centres for Classification of Diseases. Policy
guidance had been provided by a number of special meetings and by the Expert Committee on
the International Classification of Diseases - Tenth Revision, which met in 1984 (2) and 1987 (3)
to make decisions on the direction the work should take and the form of the final proposals.
Extensive preparatory activity had been devoted to a radical review of the suitability of the
structure of the ICD, essentially a statistical classification of diseases and other health problems,
to serve a wide variety of needs for mortality and health-care data. Ways of stabilizing the
coding system to minimize disruption at successive revisions had been investigated, as had the
possibility of providing a better balance between the content of the different chapters of the ICD.
9
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
Even with a new structure, it was plain that one classification could not cope with the extremes
of the requirements. The concept had therefore been developed of a "family" of classifications,
with the main ICD as the core, covering the centre ground of needs for traditional mortality and
morbidity statistics, while needs for more detailed, less detailed or different classifications and
associated matters would be dealt with by other members of the family.
Several alternative models for the structure of the ICD had been investigated by the
Collaborating Centres, but it had been found that each had unsatisfactory features and none had
sufficient advantages over the existing structure to justify replacing it. Special meetings held to
evaluate the Ninth Revision had confirmed that, although some potential users found the existing
structure of the ICD unsuitable, there was a large body of satisfied users who considered it had
many inherent strengths, whatever its apparent inconsistencies, and wished it to continue in its
existing form.
Various schemes involving alphanumeric notation had been examined with a view to producing
a coding frame that would give a better balance to the chapters and allow sufficient space for
future additions and changes without disrupting the codes.
Decisions made on these matters had paved the way for the preparation of successive drafts of
chapter proposals for the Tenth Revision. These had twice been circulated to Member States for
comment as well as being reviewed by other interested bodies, meetings of Centre Heads, and
the Expert Committee. A large number of international professional specialist associations,
individual specialists and experts, other WHO headquarters units and regional offices had given
advice and guidance to the WHO unit responsible for the ICD and to the Collaborating Centres
on the preparation of the proposals and the associated material placed before the Conference.
WHO gratefully acknowledged this assistance.
The main innovation in the proposals for the Tenth Revision was the use of an alphanumeric
coding scheme of one letter followed by three numbers at the four-character level. This had the
effect of more than doubling the size of the coding frame in comparison with the Ninth Revision
and enabled the vast majority of chapters to be assigned a unique letter or group of letters, each
capable of providing 100 three-character categories. Of the 26 available letters, 25 had been
used, the letter U being left vacant for future additions and changes and for possible interim
classifications to solve difficulties arising at the national and international level between
revisions.
10
REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
As a matter of policy, some three-character categories had been left vacant for future expansion
and revision, the number varying according to the chapters: those with a primarily anatomical
axis of classification had fewer vacant categories as it was considered that future changes in their
content would be more limited in nature.
The Ninth Revision contained 17 chapters plus two supplementary classifications: the
Supplementary Classification of External Causes of Injury and Poisoning (the E code) and the
Supplementary Classification of Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health
Services (the V code). As recommended by the Preparatory Meeting on the Tenth Revision
(Geneva, 1983) (4) and endorsed by subsequent meetings, these two chapters were no longer
considered to be supplementary but were included as a part of the core classification.
The order of entry of chapters in the proposals for the Tenth Revision had originally been the
same as in the Ninth Revision; however, to make effective use of the available space, disorders
of the immune mechanism were later included with diseases of the blood and blood-forming
organs, whereas in the Ninth Revision they had been included with endocrine, nutritional and
metabolic diseases. The new chapter on "Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and
certain disorders involving the immune mechanism" now followed the "Neoplasms" chapter,
with which it shared the letter D.
During the elaboration of early drafts of the chapter on "Diseases of the nervous system and
sense organs", it had soon become clear that it would not be possible to accommodate all the
required detail under one letter in 100 three-character categories. It had been decided, therefore,
to create three separate chapters - "Diseases of the nervous system" having the letter G, and the
two chapters on "Diseases of the eye and adnexa" and on "Diseases of the ear and mastoid
process" sharing the letter H.
Also, the chapters on "Diseases of the genitourinary system", on "Pregnancy, childbirth and the
puerperium", on "Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period, and on "Congenital
malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities" had been brought together as
contiguous chapters XIV to XVII.
With the inclusion of the former supplementary classifications as part of the core classification
and the creation of two new chapters, the total number of chapters in the proposal for the Tenth
Revision had become 21. The titles of some chapters had been amended to give a better
indication of their content.
11
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
Where radical changes to the ICD had been proposed, field-testing had been appropriate. This
had been the case for the following chapters:
Chapter II, "Neoplasms", had also been subject to some field-testing, although the changes in its
content had been of a minor nature.
Some new features of the proposals for the Tenth Revision were as follows:
• The exclusion notes at the beginning of each chapter had been expanded to explain the
relative hierarchy of chapters, and to make it clear that the "special group" chapters had
priority of assignment over the organ or system chapters and that, among the special group
chapters, those on "Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium" and on "Certain conditions
originating in the perinatal period" had priority over the others.
• Also, at the beginning of each chapter an overview was given of the blocks of three-character
categories and, where relevant, the asterisk categories; this had been done to clarify the
structure of the chapters and to facilitate the use of the asterisk categories.
• The notes in the tabular list applied to all uses of the classification; if a note was appropriate
only to morbidity or only to mortality, it was included in the special notes accompanying
either the morbidity coding rules or the mortality coding rules.
• The Ninth Revision had identified a certain number of conditions as being drug-induced; this
approach had been continued in drawing up the proposals for the Tenth Revision and many
such conditions were now separately identified.
An important innovation was the creation towards the end of certain chapters of categories for
postprocedural disorders. These identified important conditions that constituted a medical care
problem in their own right and included such examples as endocrine and metabolic diseases
following ablation of an organ and other specific conditions such as postgastrectomy dumping
syndrome. Postprocedural conditions that were not specific to a particular body system,
including immediate complications such as air embolism and postoperative shock, continued to
be classified in the chapter on "Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external
causes".
Another change was that in the Ninth Revision, the four-digit titles had often had to be read in
conjunction with the three-digit titles to ascertain the full meaning and intent of the subcategory,
whereas in the draft presented to the Conference the titles were almost invariably complete and
could stand alone.
12
REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The dual classification scheme for etiology and manifestation, known as the dagger and asterisk
system, introduced in the Ninth Revision, had been the subject of a certain amount of criticism.
This related mainly to the fact that the classification frequently contained a mixture of
manifestation and other information at the three- and four-digit levels, with the same diagnostic
labels sometimes appearing under both axes. Also, many considered the system to be
insufficiently comprehensive. To overcome these problems, in the draft for the Tenth Revision,
the asterisk information was contained in 82 homogeneous three-character categories for
optional use. This approach enabled those diagnostic statements containing information about
both a generalized underlying disease process and a manifestation or complication in a particular
organ or site to receive two codes, allowing retrieval or tabulation according to either axis.
These characteristics of the proposed Tenth Revision were accepted by the Conference.
Each of the chapters was introduced to the Conference with a presentation on changes introduced
since the Ninth Revision and some background information about certain innovations. Some
issues related to changes in chapter structure and content were discussed by the Conference and
agreement reached on follow-up and modification by the secretariat.
The Conference considered with interest the recommended definitions, standards and reporting
requirements for the Tenth Revision with regard to maternal mortality and to fetal, perinatal,
neonatal and infant mortality. These recommendations were the outcome of a series of special
meetings and consultations and were directed towards improving the comparability of data.
The Conference agreed that it was desirable to retain the definitions of live birth and fetal death
as they appeared in the Ninth Revision.
After some discussion, the Conference set up a working party on the subject of maternal
mortality and, on the basis of its recommendations, also agreed to retain the definition of
maternal death as it appeared in the Ninth Revision.
In order to improve the quality of maternal mortality data and provide alternative methods of
collecting data on deaths during pregnancy or related to it, as well as to encourage the recording
of deaths from obstetric causes occurring more than 42 days following termination of pregnancy,
two additional definitions, for "pregnancy-related deaths" and "late maternal deaths", were
formulated by the working party.
13
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
The Conference
The Conference agreed that, since the number of live births was more universally available than
the number of total births (live births plus fetal deaths), it should be used as the denominator in
the ratios related to maternal mortality [as contained in Part 2a Instruction Manual (NCHS)].
With respect to perinatal, neonatal and infant mortality, it was strongly advised that published
rates based on birth cohorts should be so identified and differentiated.
The Conference confirmed the practice of expressing age in completed units of time and thus
designating the first day of life as day zero.
The Conference
RECOMMENDED the inclusion, in the manual of the Tenth Revision of the ICD, of
definitions, standards and reporting requirements related to maternal mortality and to
fetal, perinatal, neonatal and infant mortality.
The Conference was informed about a process for review of the selection and modification rules
for underlying cause of death and the associated notes, as they appeared in the Ninth Revision,
which had resulted in several recommended changes in the rules and extensive changes to the
notes.
The Conference
RECOMMENDED that the rules for selection of cause of death for primary mortality
tabulation, as they appear in the Ninth Revision, be replaced in the Tenth Revision [by
those contained in Part 2a Instruction Manual (NCHS)].
14
REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The Conference was further informed that additional notes for use in underlying cause coding
and the interpretation of entries of causes of death had been drafted and were being reviewed. As
these notes were intended to improve consistency in coding, the Conference agreed that they
would also be incorporated in the Tenth Revision.
The Conference noted the continued use of multiple-condition coding and analysis in relation to
causes of death. It expressed encouragement for such activities, but did not recommend that the
Tenth Revision should contain any particular rules or methods of analysis to be followed.
In considering the international form of medical certificate of cause of death, the Expert
Committee had recognized that the situation of an aging population with a greater proportion of
deaths involving multiple disease processes, and the effects of associated therapeutic
interventions, tended to increase the number of possible statements between the underlying cause
and the direct cause of death: this meant that an increasing number of conditions were being
entered on death certificates in many countries. This led the Committee to recommend the
inclusion of an additional line (d) in Part I of the certificate.
RECOMMENDED that, where a need has been identified, countries consider the
possibility of including an additional line (d) in Part I of the medical certificate of cause
of death.
For the first time, the Ninth Revision contained guidance on recording and coding for morbidity
and specifically for the selection of a single condition for presentation of morbidity statistics.
Experience gained in the use of the definitions and rules in the Ninth Revision had proved their
usefulness and generated requests for their clarification, for further elaboration regarding the
recording of diagnostic information by health care practitioners, and for more guidance on
dealing with specific problem situations.
The Conference endorsed the recommendations of the 1975 Revision Conference about the
condition to be selected for single-condition analysis of episodes of health care, and its view that,
where practicable, multiple-condition coding and analysis should be undertaken to supplement
routine statistics. It stressed that the Tenth Revision should make it clear that much of the
guidance was applicable only when the tabulation of a "main condition" for an episode was
appropriate and when the concept of an "episode" per se was relevant to the way in which data
collection was organized.
15
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
RECOMMENDED that where the "main condition" is subject to the dual classification
system provided in the ICD, both the dagger and asterisk codes should be recorded, to
permit alternative tabulation by either.
The Conference agreed that extensive notes and examples should be added to provide further
assistance.
The Conference was informed about difficulties that had arisen in the use of the Basic Tabulation
List based on the Ninth Revision and about the activities that had been undertaken, particularly
by WHO, to develop new lists for the tabulation and publication of mortality data. In this process
it had become apparent that, in many countries, mortality up to the age of five was a more robust
indicator than infant mortality, and that it would therefore be preferable to have a list that
included infant deaths and deaths of children up to the age of five years, rather than a list for
infants only.
Two versions of the general mortality list and of the infant and child mortality list had been
prepared for consideration by the Conference, with the second version including chapter titles
and residual items for chapters as necessary.
As some concerns were expressed regarding the mortality lists as presented, a small working
party was convened to consider the possible inclusion of some additional items. The report of the
working party was accepted by the Conference.
On the topic of lists for the tabulation of morbidity, the Conference reviewed both a proposed
tabulation list and a model publication list based on chapter titles, with selected items included
as examples under each title. Considerable concern was expressed about the applicability of such
lists to all morbidity in the broadest sense. There was general agreement that the lists as
presented were probably more suited to inpatient morbidity, and it was felt that further efforts
16
REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
should be made to develop lists suitable for other morbidity applications and also that both
mortality and morbidity tabulation lists should be accompanied in the Tenth Revision by
appropriate explanations and instructions on their use.
In the light of the concerns raised in the Conference and the conclusions of the working party,
the Conference agreed that the tabulation and publication lists should appear in the Tenth
Revision, while an effort should be made to establish clearer, more descriptive titles for these
lists. It was also agreed that, to facilitate the alternative tabulation of asterisk categories, a
second version of the morbidity tabulation list should be developed, which included the asterisk
categories.
6. Family of classifications
During the preparation of the Ninth Revision it had already been realized that the ICD alone
could not cover all the information required and that only a "family" of disease and health-
related classifications would meet the different requirements in public health. Since the late
1970s, therefore, various possible solutions had been envisaged, one of which called for a core
classification (ICD) with a series of modules, some hierarchically related and others of a
supplementary nature.
After studies and discussions in cooperation with the various Collaborating Centres, a concept of
a family of classifications had been elaborated and subsequently revised by the Expert
Committee in 1987, which had recommended the scheme shown opposite.

REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The Conference viewed with interest a presentation of the use and linkage of different members
of the ICD family in the medicosocial and multidimensional assessment of the elderly in relation
not only to health but also to activities of daily living as well as the social and physical
environment. It was demonstrated that effective information could be obtained through use of the
ICD and the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps (ICIDH),
and especially through use of the codes from the proposed Chapter XXI of the Tenth Revision.
The Conference was informed about plans for the development of adaptations of the Tenth
Revision in the mental health programme area. Clinical guidelines would accompany a version
intended for use by clinicians working in the field of psychiatry; research criteria would be
proposed for use in investigations of mental health problems; and multi-axial presentations for
use in dealing with childhood disorders and for the classification of adult problems would be
developed as well as a version for use by general practitioners. Compilations of ICD codes
relevant to psychiatry and to neurology would also be produced along the lines of previous
publications on this subject.
The Conference also heard about the methods used to ensure that the basic structure and function
of the ICD were preserved in the initial development of the application for medical specialists in
dentistry and stomatology (ICD-DA) and was informed that a new revision of the ICD-DA
linked to the Tenth Revision was in the final stages of preparation.
A presentation was given on the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O),
Second Edition, a multi-axial classification including both the topography and morphology of
neoplasms. The morphology codes of the ICD-O, which had evolved over a long period of time,
had been revised and extensively field-tested. The topography codes of the second edition would
be based on the Tenth Revision and publication would, therefore, await World Health Assembly
approval of the Tenth Revision.
There was agreement on the value of an adaptation in the area of general medical practice and
the Conference was informed about the willingness of groups working in this area to collaborate
with WHO. In respect of other specialty-based adaptations, which were likely to become more
numerous, the recommended role of WHO as a clearing-house was considered to be extremely
important.
19
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
In accordance with the recommendations of the 1975 Revision Conference, a working group had
been convened by the WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia in Delhi in 1976. It had drawn
up a detailed list of symptom associations, and from this, two short lists were derived, one for
causes of death and one for reasons for contact with health services. Field trials of this system
had been carried out in countries of the Region and the results used to revise the list of symptom
associations and the reporting forms. This revised version had been published by WHO in 1978
in the booklet Lay reporting of health information (5).
The Global Strategy for Health for All by the Year 2000, launched in 1978, had raised a number
of challenges for the development of information systems in Member States. At the International
Conference on Health Statistics for the Year 2000 (Bellagio, Italy, 1982) (6), the integration of
"lay reporting" information with other information generated and used for health management
purposes had been identified as a major problem inhibiting the wider implementation of lay
reporting schemes. The Consultation on Primary Care Classifications (Geneva, 1985) (7) had
stressed the need for an approach that could unify information support, health service
management and community services through information based on lay reporting in the
expanded sense of community-based information.
The Conference was informed about the experience of countries in developing and applying
community-based health information that covered health problems and needs, related risk factors
and resources. It supported the concept of developing non-conventional methods at the
community level as a method of filling information gaps in individual countries and
strengthening their information systems. It was stressed that, for both developed and developing
countries, such methods or systems should be developed locally and that, because of factors such
as morbidity patterns as well as language and cultural variations, transfer to other areas or
countries should not be attempted.
The International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps (ICIDH) (8) had
been published by WHO in English in 1980 for trial purposes, in accordance with the
recommendations of the 1975 Revision Conference and resolution WHA29.35 (9) of the 1976
World Health Assembly. Since that time, research and development on the classification had
followed a number of paths.
20
REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The major definitions of the three elements - impairment, disability and handicap - had
undoubtedly been instrumental in changing attitudes to disablement. The definition of
impairment, an area where there was considerable overlap with the terms included in the ICD,
had been widely accepted. The definition of disability broadly matched the field of action of
rehabilitation professionals and groups, although there was felt to be a need for more attention in
the associated code to the gradation of severity, which was often a predictor of handicap. There
had also been increasing requests to revise the definition of handicap so as to put more emphasis
on the effect of interaction with the environment.
The rapid evolution of ideas and practices in the management of disablement had ruled out the
production of a revised ICIDH in time to be submitted to the Conference. It was stated that the
publication of a new version was unlikely before implementation of the Tenth Revision.
The International Classification of Procedures in Medicine (ICPM) (10) had been published by
WHO in 1978 for trial purposes, in accordance with the recommendations of the 1975 Revision
Conference and resolution WHA29.35 (9) of the 1976 World Health Assembly. The
classification had been adopted by a few countries and was used as a basis for national
classifications of surgical operations by a number of other countries.
The Heads of WHO Collaborating Centres for Classification of Diseases had recognized that the
process of drafting proposals, obtaining comments, redrafting and soliciting further comments,
which WHO necessarily had to go through before finalization and publication, was inappropriate
in such a rapidly advancing field as that of procedures. The Centre Heads had therefore
recommended that there should be no revision of the ICPM in conjunction with the Tenth
Revision of ICD.
In 1987 the Expert Committee had asked that WHO consider updating for the Tenth Revision at
least the outline of Chapter 5, Surgical procedures", of the trial ICPM. In response to this
request and the needs expressed by a number of countries, an attempt had been made by the
Secretariat to prepare a tabulation list for procedures.
This list had been presented to the Centre Heads at their 1989 meeting and it had been agreed
that it could serve as a guide for national presentation or publication of statistics on surgical
procedures and could also facilitate intercountry comparisons. The aim of the list was to identify
procedures and groups of procedures and define them as a basis for the development of national
classifications, thereby improving the comparability of such classifications.
21
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
The Conference agreed that such a list was of value and that work should continue on its
development, even though any publication would follow the implementation of the Tenth
Revision.
Since 1970 the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) had been
involved in the preparation of an International Nomenclature of Diseases (IND) which would
serve as a complement to the ICD.
The main purpose of the IND was to provide a single recommended name for every disease
entity. The main criteria for selection of that name were that it should be specific, unambiguous,
as self-descriptive and simple as possible, and based on cause wherever feasible. Each disease or
syndrome for which a name was recommended was defined as unambiguously, and yet briefly,
as possible. A list of synonyms was appended to each definition.
At the time of the Conference, volumes had been published on diseases of the lower respiratory
tract, infectious diseases (viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases and mycoses) and cardiac and
vascular diseases, and work was under way on volumes for the digestive system, female genital
system, urinary and male genital system, metabolic and endocrine diseases, blood and
blood-forming organs, immunological system, musculoskeletal system and nervous system.
Subjects proposed for future volumes included psychiatric diseases, as well as diseases of the
skin, ear, nose and throat, and eye and adnexa.

REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The Conference was informed of WHO's intention to publish the detailed four-character version
of the Tenth Revision in three volumes: one containing the Tabular List, a second containing all
related definitions, standards, rules and instructions, and a third containing the Alphabetical
Index.
The Conference was further informed that a three-character version of the Tenth Revision would
be published as a single volume which would contain, in the Tabular List, all inclusion and
exclusion notes. It would also contain all related definitions, standards, rules and instructions and
a shortened Alphabetical Index.
Member States intending to produce national language versions of the Tenth Revision should
notify WHO of their intentions. Copies of the drafts of the ICD at the three- and four-character
levels would be made available from WHO both in printed form and on electronic media.
With respect to the physical appearance of the pages and type formats for both the Tabular List
and the Alphabetical Index, the Conference was assured that recommendations from the Centre
Heads and complaints from coders would be considered, and every attempt made to improve
those aspects as compared with the Ninth Revision.
As with the Ninth Revision, it was intended to develop materials for the reorientation of trained
coders, with the help of the Collaborating Centres. The actual training courses would be the
responsibility of the WHO regional offices and individual countries. They would be carried out
from late 1991 to the end of 1992, to finish before the implementation of the Tenth Revision.
Materials for the basic training of new users of the ICD would also be developed by WHO; it
was not, however, planned to begin courses before 1993.
As noted above, WHO would be prepared to provide the Tenth Revision (both the Tabular List
and the Alphabetical Index) on electronic media. In future, with the assistance of the
Collaborating Centres, other software might also be made available. A key for conversion from
the Ninth to the Tenth Revision, and the reverse, should be available before the implementation
of the Tenth Revision.
As the development activities that had been endorsed by the Expert Committee were on
schedule, the Conference
23
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
The Conference discussed the difficulties experienced during the extended period of use of the
Ninth Revision, related to the emergence of new diseases and the lack of an updating mechanism
to accommodate them.
Various suggestions for mechanisms to overcome these difficulties and avoid similar problems
with respect to the Tenth Revision were discussed. There was a clear feeling that there was a
need for ongoing information exchange to standardize the use of the Tenth Revision between
countries, but that any changes introduced during its "lifetime" should be considered very
carefully in relation to their impact on analyses and trends. There was discussion on the type of
forum in which such changes and the potential for use of the vacant letter "U" in new or
temporary code assignments could be discussed. It was agreed that it would not be feasible to
hold revision conferences more frequently than every 10 years.
On the basis of the needs expressed, and the fact that it would be inappropriate to attempt to
determine or define the exact process to be used, the Conference
RECOMMENDED that the next International Revision Conference should take place in
ten years' time, and that WHO should endorse the concept of an updating process
between revisions and give consideration as to how an effective updating mechanism
could be put in place.
Having considered the proposals prepared by the Organization on the basis of the
recommendations of the Expert Committee on the International Classification of Diseases -
Tenth Revision,
Recognizing the need for a few further minor modifications to reflect the comments on points of
detail submitted by Member States during the Conference,

CHAPTER II
Neoplasms
(C00-D48)
Notes
II-1
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
2. Functional activity
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An
additional code from Chapter IV may be used, if desired, to identify functional activity associated
with any neoplasm. For example, catecholamine-producing malignant phaeochromocytoma of
adrenal gland should be coded to C74 with additional code E27.5; basophil adenoma of pituitary
gland with Cushing's syndrome should be coded to D35.2 with additional code E24.0.
3. Morphology
There are a number of major morphological (histological) groups of malignant neoplasms:
carcinomas including squamous (cell) and adeno-carcinomas; sarcomas; other soft tissue tumours
including mesotheliomas; lymphomas (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's); leukaemia; other specified
and site-specific types; and unspecified cancers. Cancer is a generic term and may be used for any
of the above groups, although it is rarely applied to the malignant neoplasms of lymphatic,
haematopoietic and related tissue. "Carcinoma" is sometimes used incorrectly as a synonym for
"cancer".
In Chapter II neoplasms are classified predominantly by site within broad groupings for behaviour.
In a few exceptional cases morphology is indicated in the category and subcategory titles.
For those wishing to identify the histological type of neoplasm, comprehensive separate morphology
codes are provided on pages Morphology 1-25. These morphology codes are derived from the
second edition of International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O), which is a dual-
axis classification providing independent coding systems for topography and morphology.
Morphology codes have six digits: the first four digits identify the histological type; the fifth digit is
the behaviour code (malignant primary, malignant secondary (metastatic), in situ, benign, uncertain
whether malignant or benign); and the sixth digit is a grading code (differentiation) for solid
tumours, and is also used as a special code for lymphomas and leukaemias.
II-2
NEOPLASMS
carcinoma of oesophagus and stomach is specifically indexed to C16.0 (cardia), while carcinoma of
the tip and ventral surface of the tongue should be assigned to C02.8. On the other hand, carcinoma
of the tip of the tongue extending to involve the ventral surface should be coded to C02.1 as the
point of origin, the tip, is known. "Over-lapping" implies that the sites involved are contiguous (next
to each other). Numerically consecutive subcategories are frequently anatomically contiguous, but
this is not invariably so (e.g. bladder C67.-) and the coder may need to consult anatomical texts to
determine the topographical relationships.
Sometimes a neoplasm overlaps the boundaries of three-character categories within certain systems.
To take care of this the following subcategories have been designated:
An example of this is a carcinoma of the stomach and small intestine, which should be coded to
C26.8 (Overlapping lesion of digestive system).
The introductory pages of Volume 3 include general instructions about the correct use of the
Alphabetical Index. The specific instructions and examples pertaining to neoplasms should be
consulted to ensure correct use of the categories and subcategories in Chapter II.
II-3
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
8. Use of the second edition of International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O)
For certain morphological types, Chapter II provides a rather restricted topographical classification,
or none at all. The topography codes of ICD-O use for all neoplasms essentially the same three- and
four-character categories that Chapter II uses for malignant neoplasms (C00-C77, C80), thus
providing increased specificity of site for other neoplasms (malignant secondary (metastatic),
benign, in situ and uncertain or unknown).
It is therefore recommended that agencies interested in identifying both the site and morphology of
tumours, e.g. cancer registries, cancer hospitals, pathology departments and other agencies
specializing in cancer, use ICD-O.

Note: Many in situ neoplasms are regarded as being located within a continuum of
morphological change between dysplasia and invasive cancer. For example, for
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) three grades are recognized, the third of
which (CIN III) includes both severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ. This system of
grading has been extended to other organs, such as vulva and vagina. Descriptions of
grade III intraepithelial neoplasia, with or without mention of severe dysplasia, are
assigned to this section; grades I and II are classified as dysplasia of the organ
system involved and should be coded to the relevant body system chapter.

V-1
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
This block comprises a range of mental disorders grouped together on the basis of their having in
common a demonstrable etiology in cerebral disease, brain injury, or other insult leading to cerebral
dysfunction. The dysfunction may be primary, as in diseases, injuries, and insults that affect the
brain directly and selectively; or secondary, as in systemic diseases and disorders that attack the
brain only as one of the multiple organs or systems of the body that are involved.
Dementia (F00-F03) is a syndrome due to disease of the brain, usually of a chronic or progressive
nature, in which there is disturbance of multiple higher cortical functions, including memory,
thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgement.
Consciousness is not clouded. The impairments of cognitive function are commonly accompanied,
and occasionally preceded, by deterioration in emotional control, social behaviour, or motivation.
This syndrome occurs in Alzheimer's disease, in cerebrovascular disease, and in other conditions
primarily or secondarily affecting the brain.

This block contains a wide variety of disorders that differ in severity and clinical form but that are
all attributable to the use of one or more psychoactive substances, which may or may not have been
medically prescribed. The third character of the code identifies the substance involved, and the
fourth character specifies the clinical state. The codes should be used, as required, for each substance
specified, but it should be noted that not all fourth-character codes are applicable to all substances.
Only in cases in which patterns of psychoactive substance-taking are chaotic and indiscriminate, or
in which the contributions of different psychoactive substances are inextricably mixed, should the
diagnosis of disorders resulting from multiple drug use (F19.-) be used.
V-11
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
The following fourth-character subdivisions are for use with categories F10-F19:
.0 Acute intoxication
A condition that follows the administration of a psychoactive substance resulting in
disturbances in level of consciousness, cognition, perception, affect or behaviour, or other
psycho-physiological functions and responses. The disturbances are directly related to the acute
pharmacological effects of the substance and resolve with time, with complete recovery, except
where tissue damage or other complications have arisen. Complications may include trauma,
inhalation of vomitus, delirium, coma, convulsions, and other medical complications. The
nature of these complications depends on the pharmacological class of substance and mode of
administration.
.1 Harmful use
A pattern of psychoactive substance use that is causing damage to health. The damage may be
physical (as in cases of hepatitis from the self-administration of injected psychoactive substances)
or mental (e.g. episodes of depressive disorder secondary to heavy consumption of alcohol).
Abuse
Chronic use

V-12
MENTAL AND BEHAVIOURAL DISORDERS
.2 Dependence syndrome
A cluster of behavioural, cognitive, and physiological phenomena that develop after repeated
substance use and that typically include a strong desire to take the drug, difficulties in
controlling its use, persisting in its use despite harmful consequences, a higher priority given to
drug use than to other activities and obligations, increased tolerance, and sometimes a physical
withdrawal state.
The dependence syndrome may be present for a specific psychoactive substance (e.g. tobacco,
alcohol, or diazepam), for a class of substances (e.g. opioid drugs), or for a wider range of
pharmacologically different psychoactive substances.
Absinthemia
Absinthism
Addiction
Alcoholism
Chronic alcoholism
Chronic drunkenness
Continual excessive drinking
Dependence
Dipsomania
Drug addiction
Habit
Narcotism
Smoker’s syndrome
Tobaccoism
.3 Withdrawal state
A group of symptoms of variable clustering and severity occurring on absolute or relative
withdrawal of a psychoactive substance after persistent use of that substance. The onset and
course of the withdrawal state are time-limited and are related to the type of psychoactive
substance and dose being used immediately before cessation or reduction of use. The
withdrawal state may be complicated by convulsions.
V-13
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
.5 Psychotic disorder
A cluster of psychotic phenomena that occur during or following psychoactive substance use
but that are not explained on the basis of acute intoxication alone and do not form part of a
withdrawal state. The disorder is characterized by hallucinations (typically auditory, but often
in more than one sensory modality), perceptual distortions, delusions (often of a paranoid or
persecutory nature), psychomotor disturbances (excitement or stupor), and an abnormal affect,
which may range from intense fear to ecstasy. The sensorium is usually clear but some degree
of clouding of consciousness, though not severe confusion, may be present.
Alcoholic:
• hallucinosis
• jealousy
• paranoia
• psychosis NOS
.6 Amnesic syndrome
A syndrome associated with chronic prominent impairment of recent and remote memory.
Immediate recall is usually preserved and recent memory is characteristically more disturbed
than remote memory. Disturbances of time sense and ordering of events are usually evident, as
are difficulties in learning new material. Confabulation may be marked but is not invariably
present. Other cognitive functions are usually relatively well preserved and amnesic defects are
out of proportion to other disturbances.

F19.- Mental and behavioural disorders due to multiple drug use and use of other
psychoactive substances
[See pages V-12—V-15 for subdivisions]
This category should be used when two or more psychoactive substances are known
to be involved, but it is impossible to assess which substance is contributing most to
the disorders. It should also be used when the exact identity of some or even all the
psychoactive substances being used is uncertain or unknown, since many multiple
drug users themselves often do not know the details of what they are taking.
V-16
MENTAL AND BEHAVIOURAL DISORDERS
This block brings together schizophrenia, as the most important member of the group, schizotypal
disorder, persistent delusional disorders, and a larger group of acute and transient psychotic
disorders. Schizoaffective disorders have been retained here in spite of their controversial nature.
F20 Schizophrenia
The schizophrenic disorders are characterized in general by fundamental and
characteristic distortions of thinking and perception, and affects that are
inappropriate or blunted. Clear consciousness and intellectual capacity are usually
maintained although certain cognitive deficits may evolve in the course of time. The
most important psychopathological phenomena include thought echo; thought
insertion or withdrawal; thought broadcasting; delusional perception and delusions of
control; influence or passivity; hallucinatory voices commenting or discussing the
patient in the third person; thought disorders and negative symptoms.

INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
This block contains disorders in which the fundamental disturbance is a change in affect or mood to
depression (with or without associated anxiety) or to elation. The mood change is usually
accompanied by a change in the overall level of activity; most of the other symptoms are either
secondary to, or easily understood in the context of, the change in mood and activity. Most of these
disorders tend to be recurrent and the onset of individual episodes can often be related to stressful
events or situations.
F30.0 Hypomania
A disorder characterized by a persistent mild elevation of mood, increased energy
and activity, and usually marked feelings of well-being and both physical and mental
efficiency. Increased sociability, talkativeness, over-familiarity, increased sexual
energy, and a decreased need for sleep are often present but not to the extent that
they lead to severe disruption of work or result in social rejection. Irritability,
conceit, and boorish behaviour may take the place of the more usual euphoric
sociability. The disturbances of mood and behaviour are not accompanied by
hallucinations or delusions.

disorder is frequently found in the relatives of patients with bipolar affective
disorder. Some patients with cyclothymia eventually develop bipolar affective
disorder.
F34.1 Dysthymia

INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
F48.0 Neurasthenia
Considerable cultural variations occur in the presentation of this disorder, and two
main types occur, with substantial overlap. In one type, the main feature is a
complaint of increased fatigue after mental effort, often associated with some
decrease in occupational performance or coping efficiency in daily tasks. The mental
fatiguability is typically described as an unpleasant intrusion of distracting
associations or recollections, difficulty in concentrating, and generally inefficient
thinking. In the other type, the emphasis is on feelings of bodily or physical
weakness and exhaustion after only minimal effort, accompanied by a feeling of
muscular aches and pains and inability to relax. In both types a variety of other
unpleasant physical feelings is common, such as dizziness, tension headaches, and
feelings of general instability. Worry about decreasing mental and bodily well-being,
irritability, anhedonia, and varying minor degrees of both depression and anxiety are
all common. Sleep is often disturbed in its initial and middle phases but hypersomnia
may also be prominent.

Persistent use of these substances often involves unnecessary contacts with medical
professionals or supporting staff, and is sometimes accompanied by harmful physical
effects of the substances. Attempts to dissuade or forbid the use of the substance are
often met with resistance; for laxatives and analgesics this may be in spite of
warnings about (or even the development of) physical harm such as renal
dysfunction or electrolyte disturbances. Although it is usually clear that the patient
has a strong motivation to take the substance, dependence or withdrawal symptoms
do not develop as in the case of the psychoactive substances specified in F10-F19.

This block includes a variety of conditions and behaviour patterns of clinical significance which tend
to be persistent and appear to be the expression of the individual's characteristic lifestyle and mode
of relating to himself or herself and others. Some of these conditions and patterns of behaviour
emerge early in the course of individual development, as a result of both constitutional factors and
social experience, while others are acquired later in life. Specific personality disorders (F60.-),
mixed and other personality disorders (F61.-), and enduring personality changes (F62.-) are deeply
ingrained and enduring behaviour patterns, manifesting as inflexible responses to a broad range of
personal and social situations. They represent extreme or significant deviations from the way in
which the average individual in a given culture perceives, thinks, feels and, particularly, relates to
others. Such behaviour patterns tend to be stable and to encompass multiple domains of behaviour
and psychological functioning. They are frequently, but not always, associated with various degrees
of subjective distress and problems of social performance.

A disorder characterized by noticeable hair-loss due to a recurrent failure to resist
impulses to pull out hairs. The hair-pulling is usually preceded by mounting tension
and is followed by a sense of relief or gratification. This diagnosis should not be
made if there is a pre-existing inflammation of the skin, or if the hair-pulling is in
response to a delusion or a hallucination.

F64.0 Transsexualism
A desire to live and be accepted as a member of the opposite sex, usually
accompanied by a sense of discomfort with, or inappropriateness of, one's anatomic
sex, and a wish to have surgery and hormonal treatment to make one's body as
congruent as possible with one's preferred sex.
V-66
MENTAL AND BEHAVIOURAL DISORDERS
Includes: paraphilias
F65.0 Fetishism
Reliance on some non-living object as a stimulus for sexual arousal and sexual
gratification. Many fetishes are extensions of the human body, such as articles of
clothing or footwear. Other common examples are characterized by some particular
texture such as rubber, plastic or leather. Fetish objects vary in their importance to
the individual. In some cases they simply serve to enhance sexual excitement
achieved in ordinary ways (e.g. having the partner wear a particular garment).
Transvestic fetishism
F65.2 Exhibitionism
A recurrent or persistent tendency to expose the genitalia to strangers (usually of the
opposite sex) or to people in public places, without inviting or intending closer
contact. There is usually, but not invariably, sexual excitement at the time of the
exposure and the act is commonly followed by masturbation.
F65.3 Voyeurism
A recurrent or persistent tendency to look at people engaging in sexual or intimate
behaviour such as undressing. This is carried out without the observed people being
aware, and usually leads to sexual excitement and masturbation.
F65.4 Paedophilia
A sexual preference for children, boys or girls or both, usually of prepubertal or early
pubertal age.
V-67
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
F65.5 Sadomasochism
A preference for sexual activity which involves the infliction of pain or humiliation,
or bondage. If the subject prefers to be the recipient of such stimulation this is called
masochism; if the provider, sadism. Often an individual obtains sexual excitement
from both sadistic and masochistic activities.

Mental retardation
(F70-F79)
Degrees of mental retardation are conventionally estimated by standardized intelligence tests. These
can be supplemented by scales assessing social adaptation in a given environment. These measures
provide an approximate indication of the degree of mental retardation. The diagnosis will also
depend on the overall assessment of intellectual functioning by a skilled diagnostician.
Intellectual abilities and social adaptation may change over time, and, however poor, may improve
as a result of training and rehabilitation. Diagnosis should be based on the current levels of
functioning.
The following fourth-character subdivisions are for use with categories F70-F79 to identify the
extent of impairment of behaviour:
Use additional code, if desired, to identify associated conditions such as autism, other developmental
disorders, epilepsy, conduct disorders, or severe physical handicap.

V-71
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
The disorders included in this block have in common: (a) onset invariably during infancy or
childhood; (b) impairment or delay in development of functions that are strongly related to
biological maturation of the central nervous system; and (c) a steady course without remissions and
relapses. In most cases, the functions affected include language, visuo-spatial skills, and motor
coordination. Usually, the delay or impairment has been present from as early as it could be detected
reliably and will diminish progressively as the child grows older, although milder deficits often
remain in adult life.

MENTAL AND BEHAVIOURAL DISORDERS
Examples of the behaviours on which the diagnosis is based include excessive levels
of fighting or bullying, cruelty to other people or animals, severe destructiveness to
property, fire-setting, stealing, repeated lying, truancy from school and running away
from home, unusually frequent and severe temper tantrums, and disobedience. Any
one of these behaviours, if marked, is sufficient for the diagnosis, but isolated
dissocial acts are not.

F94 Disorders of social functioning with onset specific to childhood and adolescence
A somewhat heterogeneous group of disorders that have in common abnormalities in
social functioning which begin during the developmental period, but which (unlike
the pervasive developmental disorders) are not primarily characterized by an
apparently constitutional social incapacity or deficit that pervades all areas of
functioning. In many instances, serious environmental distortions or privations
probably play a crucial role in etiology.

F95.2 Combined vocal and multiple motor tic disorder [de la Tourette]
A form of tic disorder in which there are, or have been, multiple motor tics and one
or more vocal tics, although these need not have occurred concurrently. The disorder
usually worsens during adolescence and tends to persist into adult life. The vocal tics
are often multiple with explosive repetitive vocalizations, throat-clearing, and
grunting, and there may be the use of obscene words or phrases. Sometimes there is
associated gestural echopraxia which may also be of an obscene nature
(copropraxia).

F98 Other behavioural and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in
childhood and adolescence
A heterogeneous group of disorders that share the characteristic of an onset in
childhood but otherwise differ in many respects. Some of the conditions represent
well-defined syndromes but others are no more than symptom complexes that need
inclusion because of their frequency and association with psychosocial problems, and
because they cannot be incorporated into other syndromes.

This chapter includes symptoms, signs, abnormal results of clinical or other investigative
procedures, and ill-defined conditions regarding which no diagnosis classifiable elsewhere is
recorded.
Signs and symptoms that point rather definitely to a given diagnosis have been assigned to a
category in other chapters of the classification. In general, categories in this chapter include the less
well-defined conditions and symptoms that, without the necessary study of the case to establish a
final diagnosis, point perhaps equally to two or more diseases or to two or more systems of the body.
Practically all categories in the chapter could be designated "not otherwise specified", "unknown
etiology" or "transient". The Alphabetical Index should be consulted to determine which symptoms
and signs are to be allocated here and which to other chapters. The residual subcategories, numbered
.8, are generally provided for other relevant symptoms that cannot be allocated elsewhere in the
classification.
The conditions and signs or symptoms included in categories R00-R99 consist of: (a) cases for
which no more specific diagnosis can be made even after all the facts bearing on the case have been
investigated; (b) signs or symptoms existing at the time of initial encounter that proved to be
transient and whose causes could not be determined; (c) provisional diagnoses in a patient who
failed to return for further investigation or care; (d) cases referred elsewhere for investigation or
treatment before the diagnosis was made; (e) cases in which a more precise diagnosis was not
available for any other reason; (f) certain symptoms, for which supplementary information is
provided, that represent important problems in medical care in their own right.

CHAPTER XIX
_____________________________________________________________________________
The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions
and the T-section to cover injuries to multiple or unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and
certain other consequences of external causes.
Where multiple sites of injury are specified in the titles, the word "with" indicates involvement of
both sites, and the word "and" indicates involvement of either or both sites.
XIX-1
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
The principle of multiple coding of injuries should be followed wherever possible. Combination
categories for multiple injuries are provided for use when there is insufficient detail as to the nature
of the individual conditions, or for primary tabulation purposes when it is more convenient to record
a single code; otherwise, the component injuries should be coded separately. Reference should also
be made to the morbidity or mortality coding rules and guidelines in Part 2a Instruction Manual
(NCHS).
The blocks of the S-section as well as T00-T14 and T90-T98 contain injuries at the three-character
level classified by type as follows:

INJURY, POISONING AND CERTAIN OTHER CONSEQUENCES OF EXTERNAL CAUSES

CHAPTER XX
_____________________________________________________________________________
This chapter, which in previous revisions of ICD constituted a supplementary classification, permits
the classification of environmental events and circumstances as the cause of injury, poisoning and
other adverse effects. Where a code from this section is applicable, it is intended that it shall be used
in addition to a code from another chapter of the Classification indicating the nature of the condition.
Most often, the condition will be classifiable to Chapter XIX, Injury, poisoning and certain other
consequences of external causes (S00-T98). Causes of death should preferably be tabulated
according to both Chapter XIX and Chapter XX, but if only one code is tabulated then the code from
Chapter XX should be used in preference. Other conditions that may be stated to be due to external
causes are classified in Chapters I to XVIII. For these conditions, codes from Chapter XX should be
used to provide additional information for multiple-condition analysis only.
Categories for sequelae of external causes of morbidity and mortality are included at Y85-Y89.

EXTERNAL CAUSES OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY
Transport accidents
(V01-V99)
Note: This section is structured in 12 groups. Those relating to land transport accidents
(V01-V89) reflect the victim's mode of transport and are subdivided to identify the
victim's "counterpart" or the type of event. The vehicle of which the injured person is
an occupant is identified in the first two characters since it is seen as the most
important factor to identify for prevention purposes.
(a) A transport accident (V01-V99) is any accident involving a device designed primarily for,
or being used at the time primarily for, conveying persons or goods from one place to
another. Any object such as a coaster, skateboard, sled, trailer, or wagon being towed by any
such device is considered a part of the specified device.
(b) A public highway [trafficway] or street is the entire width between property lines (or other
boundary lines) of land open to the public as a matter of right or custom for purposes of
moving persons or property from one place to another. A roadway is that part of the public
highway designed, improved and customarily used for vehicular traffic.
(c) A traffic accident is any vehicle accident occurring on the public highway [i.e. originating
on, terminating on, or involving a vehicle partially on the highway]. A vehicle accident is
assumed to have occurred on the public highway unless another place is specified, except in
the case of accidents involving only off-road motor vehicles, which are classified as
nontraffic accidents unless the contrary is stated.
XX-9
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
(d) A nontraffic accident is any vehicle accident that occurs entirely in any place other than a
public highway.
(e) A pedestrian is any person involved in an accident who was not at the time of the accident
riding in or on a motor vehicle, railway train, streetcar or animal-drawn or other vehicle, or
on a pedal cycle or animal.
Includes: person:
• changing tire of vehicle
• making adjustment to motor of vehicle
• on foot
user of a pedestrian conveyance such as:
• baby carriage
• ice-skates
• perambulator
• push-cart
• push-chair
• roller-skates
• scooter
• skateboard
• skis
• sled
• wheelchair (powered)
(f) A driver is an occupant of a transport vehicle who is operating or intending to operate it.
(g) A passenger is any occupant of a transport vehicle other than the driver.
Excludes: person travelling on outside of vehicle - see definition (h)
(h) A person on outside of vehicle is any person being transported by a vehicle but not
occupying the space normally reserved for the driver or passengers, or the space intended for
the transport of property.
XX-10
EXTERNAL CAUSES OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY
(i) A pedal cycle is any land transport vehicle operated solely by pedals.
Includes: bicycle
tricycle
(j) A pedal cyclist is any person riding on a pedal cycle or in a sidecar or trailer attached to such
a vehicle.
(k) A motorcycle is a two-wheeled motor vehicle with one or two riding saddles and sometimes
with a third wheel for the support of a sidecar. The sidecar is considered part of the
motorcycle.
Includes: moped
motor scooter
motorcycle:
• NOS
• combination
• with sidecar
motorized bicycle
speed-limited motor-driven cycle
(l) A motorcycle rider is any person riding on a motorcycle or in a sidecar or trailer attached to
such a vehicle.
(n) A three-wheeled motor vehicle is a motorized tricycle designed primarily for on-road use.
XX-11
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
(o) A car [automobile] is a four-wheeled motor vehicle designed primarily for carrying up to 10
persons.
Includes: minibus
(p) A motor vehicle may refer to various transport vehicles. The local usage of the terms should
be established to determine the appropriate code. If the terms are used ambiguously, use the
code for “unspecified.”
(q) A pick-up truck or van is a four- or six-wheeled motor vehicle designed primarily for
carrying property, weighing less than the local limit for classification as a heavy goods
vehicle, and not requiring a special driver's license.
(r) A heavy transport vehicle is a motor vehicle designed primarily for carrying property,
meeting local criteria for classification as a heavy goods vehicle in terms of curbside weight
(usually above 3500 kg), and requiring a special driver's license.
(s) A bus is a motor vehicle designed or adapted primarily for carrying more than 10 persons,
and requiring a special driver's license.
Includes: coach
(t) A railway train or railway vehicle is any device, with or without cars coupled to it, designed
for traffic on a railway.
Includes: interurban:
• electric car (operated chiefly on its own right-of-way,
• streetcar not open to other traffic)
railway train, any power [diesel] [electric] [steam]:
• funicular
• monorail or two-rail
• subterranean or elevated
other vehicle designed to run on a railway track
XX-12
EXTERNAL CAUSES OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY
(u) A streetcar is a device designed and used primarily for transporting persons within a
municipality, running on rails, usually subject to normal traffic control signals, and operated
principally on a right-of-way that forms part of the roadway. A trailer being towed by a
streetcar is considered a part of the streetcar.
(v) A special vehicle mainly used on industrial premises is a motor vehicle designed primarily
for use within the buildings and premises of industrial or commercial establishments.
Includes: battery-powered:
• airport passenger vehicle
• truck (baggage) (mail)
coal-car in mine
forklift (truck)

(y) A special all-terrain vehicle is a motor vehicle of special design to enable it to negotiate
rough or soft terrain or snow. Examples of special design are high construction, special
wheels and tires, tracks, and support on a cushion of air.
(z) A vehicle is considered to be a motor vehicle when accident occurred on a public highway
[i.e., originating, terminating or involving vehicle partially on the highway].
(a) A traffic accident when the event is classifiable to categories V02-V04, V10-V82 and
V87.
(b) A nontraffic accident when the event is classifiable to categories V83-V86. For these
categories the victim is either a pedestrian, or an occupant of a vehicle designed
primarily for off-road use.
XX-14

Morphology of neoplasms
________________________________________________________________________
Morphology of neoplasms
The second edition of the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) was
published in 1990. It contains a coded nomenclature for the morphology of neoplasms, which is
reproduced here for those who wish to use it in conjunction with Chapter II.
The morphology code numbers consist of five digits; the first four identify the histological type of
the neoplasm and the fifth, following a slash or solidus, indicates its behaviour. The one-digit
behaviour code is as follows:
/0 Benign
/2 Carcinoma in situ
Intraepithelial
Noninfiltrating
Noninvasive
In the nomenclature given here, the morphology code numbers include the behaviour code
appropriate to the histological type of neoplasm; this behaviour code should be changed if the other
reported information makes this appropriate. For example, chordoma is assumed to be malignant and
is therefore assigned the code number M9370/3; the term "benign chordoma" should, however, be
coded M9370/0. Similarly, superficial spreading adenocarcinoma (M8143/3) should be coded
M8143/2 when described as "noninvasive", and melanoma (M8720/3), when described as
"secondary", should be coded M8720/6.
1
Except cystadenomas of ovary in M844-M849, which are considered to be malignant.
Μorphology-1
INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
The following table shows the correspondence between the behaviour code and the different sections
of Chapter II:
_____________________________________________________________________________
Behaviour Chapter II
code categories
_____________________________________________________________________________
The ICD-O behaviour digit /9 is not applicable in the ICD context, since all malignant neoplasms are
presumed to be primary (/3) or secondary (/6), according to other information on the medical record.
Only the first-listed term of the full ICD-O morphology nomenclature appears against each code
number in the list given here. The Alphabetical Index (Volume 3), however, includes all the ICD-O
synonyms as well as a number of other morphological descriptions still likely to be encountered on
medical records but omitted from ICD-O as outdated or otherwise undesirable.
Some types of neoplasm are specific to certain sites or types of tissue. For example, nephroblastoma
(M8960/3), by definition, always arises in the kidney; hepatocellular carcinoma (M8170/3) is always
primary in the liver; and basal cell carcinoma (M8090/3) usually arises in the skin. For such terms
the appropriate code from Chapter II has been added in parentheses in the nomenclature. Thus
nephroblastoma is followed by the code for malignant neoplasm of kidney (C64). For basal cell
carcinoma the code for malignant neoplasm of skin (C44.-) is given with the fourth character left
open. The appropriate fourth character for the reported site should be used. The Chapter II codes
assigned to the morphologic terms should be used when the site of the neoplasm is not given in the
diagnosis. Chapter II codes have not been assigned to many of the morphology terms because the
histologic types can arise in more than one organ or type of tissue. For example, "Adenocarcinoma
NOS" (M8140/3) has no assigned Chapter II code because it can be primary in many different
organs.
Μorphology-2
MORPHOLOGY OF NEOPLASMS
Occasionally a problem arises when a site given in a diagnosis is different from the site indicated by
the site-specific code. In such instances, the given Chapter II code should be ignored and the
appropriate code for the site included in the diagnosis should be used. For example, C50.- (breast) is
added to the morphologic term Infiltrating duct carcinoma (M8500/3), because this type of
carcinoma usually arises in the breast. However, if the term "Infiltrating duct carcinoma" is used for
a primary carcinoma arising in the pancreas, the correct code would be C25.9 (Pancreas,
unspecified).
For neoplasms of lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissue (M959-M998), the relevant codes
from C81-C96 and D45-D47 are given. These Chapter II codes should be used irrespective of the
stated site of the neoplasm.
A coding difficulty sometimes arises where a morphological diagnosis contains two qualifying
adjectives that have different code numbers. An example is "transitional cell epidermoid carcinoma".
"Transitional cell carcinoma NOS" is M8120/3 and "epidermoid carcinoma NOS" is M8070/3. In
such circumstances, the higher number (M8120/3 in this example) should be used, as it is usually
more specific. For other information about the coding of morphology see Part 2a Instruction Manual
(NCHS).
