Objectives Through the quality monitoring of the coding of vasculitis and the analysis of the defect causes,the accuracy of the coding of vasculitis was improved.Methods A total of 200 cases discharged from a hospital between January 1st,2022 and December 31st,2022 with a primary diagnosis coded as vasculitis on the first page were selected.The 2012 CHCC consensus was used as the standard to classify vasculitis,and quality control of disease coding was performed based on the International Classification of Diseases ICD-10 and coding rules to analyze the reasons for the occurrence of defects and develop improvement measures.Results Coding errors were found in 31 cases of vasculitis,accounting for 15.5%.The types of errors were divided into:category errors in 12 cases,non-use of star sword code in 11 cases and M31 subdivision errors in 8 cases,accounting for 6%,5.5%and 4%of vasculitis cases respectively.Conclusions Vasculitis cases were prone to errors in the selection of primary diagnosis codes,and in order to improve the rate of correct coding it was necessary to strengthen the communication with clinicians,improve the professional knowledge of coding staff,and strengthen the quality control of coding on the front page of the case.
