New: Online ICD-10 Version for 2010

The information in this report refers only to the existing international ICD-10 and not to ICD-11 or to any country specific, clinical modification of ICD-10.


I reported some months ago that from documentation from WHO-FIC meeting materials, it was understood that a version of ICD-10 for 2010 was planned to be published by WHO, Geneva, earlier this year.

This would replace the ICD-10 online version for 2007 and would incorporate all the annual updates to ICD-10 from 2007 to 2010.


This is now up online.

A searchable version of ICD-10 for 2010 is now available at this URL:

http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en

International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision

"You may browse the classification by using the hierarchy on the left or by using the search functionality

"More information on how to use the online browser is available in the Help"

---------------

It is presented on a platform similar to the platform being used for the ICD-11 Alpha Draft, that is, a list of ICD-10 Chapters on the left side of the screen, arranged with hierarchical parent > child categories, with the category codings set out on the right side of the screen.


This is the URL for ICD Title term G93.3 Postviral fatigue syndrome:

http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en#/G93.3


If "Chronic fatigue syndrome" is entered into the Search box, a drop down reads:

"Syndrome - fatigue - chronic - G93.3"

If you mouse hover over the orange square on the left of the dark blue drop down, the "Alt text" reads:

"Found in Index"



There is a User Guide for ICD-10 Version: 2010 but the platform is not difficult to navigate, just select a chapter and click on the little grey arrows to display parent class and Title term categories and their child categories - you can't break anything:

http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/Help


Those with websites that have URLs pointing to specific ICD-10 version for 2007 categories will need to adjust URLs for the new platform as code specific URLs are pointing only to the ICD-10 Version: 2010 opening page, for example:

what displayed in ICD-10 version for 2007 at this path:

http://apps.who.int/classifications/apps/icd/icd10online/?gg90.htm+g933

would need updating to:

http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en#/G93.3


and the Chapter V entry for the F40-48 categories:

http://www.who.int/classifications/apps/icd/icd10online/?gf40.htm+f480

would need updating to:

http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en#/F40-F48

or

http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en#/F45.0

to point to F45 Somatoform Disorders

or

http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en#/F48.0

to point to F48.0 Neurasthenia.

Note: There is an predictive ICD term function on the Search facility. Enter "Chronic fatigue syndrome" and a drop down displays the entry for "Chronic fatigue syndrome" as it displays in Volume 3 The Alphabetical Index, that is as

"Syndrome - fatigue - chronic - G93.3"

If you mouse hover over the orange square on the left of the dark blue drop down, the "Alt text" reads:

"Found in Index" as shown in my screenshot.
