A Comparative Study on the Classification of ICD-11 and ICD-10 in Skin Diseases
Objectives This study aims to compare the classification of skin diseases between ICD-11 and ICD-10 and provide ideas for the coding transition of skin diseases.Methods The ICD-11 simple tabulation was downloaded from the ICD-11 website to compare the number of changes in categories,subheads,and effective codes of the two versions.The ICD-11 backbone code and ICD-10 code mapping table were downloaded.The chapter drift index for each subsection in the skin diseases chapter was calculated,and the similarities and differences between ICD-11 and ICD-10 were compared in terms of coding structure and coding distribution.Results The capacity of ICD-11 was significantly expanded,with the number of categories increased by 173,the number of subcategories increased by 164,and the number of effective codes increased by 266.The chapter drift index of the newly added subsections in the chapter on skin diseases was significantly higher than that of other sections.Compared with ICD-10,most of the skin infectious diseases in ICD-11 were moved to Chapter 1.The three sections of inflammatory skin diseases,skin diseases involving specific skin structures,and skin diseases caused by external factors were significantly integrated.Among them,the post-assembly coding form improved the accuracy and abundance of disease information collection.Conclusions ICD-11 improves the precision and breadth of skin disease coding and can provide more abundant and detailed data support for hospital management and clinical research.
