ICD 10: International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems Volume 1

The first volume of the standard international coding tool for diseases, injuries & related health problems is now available in its 10th edition. The 1992 edition, which has been finalized following more than six years of consultations, preparatory work & draft revisions, incorporates a number of new or expanded features introduced to improve both the precision & the consistency of coding. The 10th revision reflects the classification's continuing refinement & expansion, yet retains those traditional features, such as the single-variable-axis design, that have stood the test of time. Chapters have been rearranged, new chapters added, titles changed, & conditions regrouped in order to increase the level of clinical detail & enhance ease of use while retaining the classification's sensitivity for its traditional epidemiological & statistical uses. ICD-10 is now presented in three separate volumes, allowing independent access to the tabular list (92-4-154419-8); all related definitions, standards, rules, & instructions (92-4-157720-1); & the alphabetical list (94-4-154421-X).World Health Organization is the author of 'ICD 10: International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems Volume 1' with ISBN 9789241544191 and ISBN 9241544198.
