Abstract
Africa's dual burden of rising incidence of infectious diseases and increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, demands innovative approaches to disease surveillance, response, and cross-border health management in response to growing economic integration and global connectivity. In this context, we propose a discursive framework for the development and implementation of a multi-disease digital health passport (MDDHP) in Africa. The MDDHP would serve as a secure platform for storing and sharing individual health data, offering a comprehensive solution to track and respond to infectious diseases, facilitate the management of NCDs, and improve healthcare access across borders. Empowering individuals to proactively manage their health and improve overall outcomes is a key aspect of the MDDHP. In the paper, we examine the key elements necessary to effectively implement MDDHP, focusing on minimizing risks, maintaining efficacy, and driving its adoption while also taking into consideration the unique contexts of the continent. The paper is intended to provide an understanding of the key principles involved and contribute to the discussion on the development and successful implementation of MDDHP in Africa.

Promoting interoperability between SNOMED CT and ICD-11: lessons learned from the pilot project mapping between SNOMED CT and the ICD-11 Foundation. J Am Med Inform Assoc 2024; 31:1631-1637. [PMID: 38867279 PMCID: PMC11258399 DOI: 10.1093/jamia/ocae143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility and challenges of mapping between SNOMED CT and the ICD-11 Foundation in both directions, SNOMED International and the World Health Organization conducted a pilot mapping project between September 2021 and August 2022. MATERIALS AND METHODS Phase 1 mapped ICD-11 Foundation entities from the endocrine diseases chapter, excluding malignant neoplasms, to SNOMED CT. In phase 2, SNOMED CT concepts equivalent to those covered by the ICD-11 entities in phase 1 were mapped to the ICD-11 Foundation. The goal was to identify equivalence between an ICD-11 Foundation entity and a SNOMED CT concept. Postcoordination was used for mapping to ICD-11. Each map was done twice independently, the results were compared, and discrepancies were reconciled. RESULTS In phase 1, 59% of 637 ICD-11 Foundation entities had an exact match in SNOMED CT. In phase 2, 32% of 1893 SNOMED CT concepts had an exact match in the ICD-11 Foundation, and postcoordination added 15% of exact match. Challenges encountered included non-synonymous synonyms, mismatch in granularity, composite conditions, and residual categories. CONCLUSION This pilot project shed light on the tremendous amount of effort required to create a map between the 2 coding systems and uncovered some common challenges. Future collaborative work between SNOMED International and WHO will likely benefit from its findings. It is recommended that the 2 organizations should clarify goals and use cases of mapping, provide adequate resources, set up a road map, and reconsider their original proposal of incorporating SNOMED CT into the ICD-11 Foundation ontology.

A global survey on the use of the international classification of diseases codes for metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease. Hepatol Int 2024; 18:1178-1201. [PMID: 38878111 DOI: 10.1007/s12072-024-10702-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND With the implementation of the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) and the publication of the metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) nomenclature in 2020, it is important to establish consensus for the coding of MAFLD in ICD-11. This will inform subsequent revisions of ICD-11. METHODS Using the Qualtrics XM and WJX platforms, questionnaires were sent online to MAFLD-ICD-11 coding collaborators, authors of papers, and relevant association members. RESULTS A total of 890 international experts in various fields from 61 countries responded to the survey. We also achieved full coverage of provincial-level administrative regions in China. 77.1% of respondents agreed that MAFLD should be represented in ICD-11 by updating NAFLD, with no significant regional differences (77.3% in Asia and 76.6% in non-Asia, p = 0.819). Over 80% of respondents agreed or somewhat agreed with the need to assign specific codes for progressive stages of MAFLD (i.e. steatohepatitis) (92.2%), MAFLD combined with comorbidities (84.1%), or MAFLD subtypes (i.e., lean, overweight/obese, and diabetic) (86.1%). CONCLUSIONS This global survey by a collaborative panel of clinical, coding, health management and policy experts, indicates agreement that MAFLD should be coded in ICD-11. The data serves as a foundation for corresponding adjustments in the ICD-11 revision.

J Am Med Inform Assoc 2024; 31:1219-1226. [PMID: 38489540 PMCID: PMC11105143 DOI: 10.1093/jamia/ocae046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to support the implementation of the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). We used common comorbidity indices as a case study for proactively assessing the impact of transitioning to ICD-11 for mortality and morbidity statistics (ICD-11-MMS) on real-world data analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the MIMIC IV database and a table of mappings between the clinical modification of previous versions of ICD and ICD-11-MMS, we assembled a population whose diagnosis can be represented in ICD-11-MMS. We assessed the impact of ICD version on cross-sectional analyses by comparing the populations' distribution of Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidity indices (CCI, ECI) across different ICD versions, along with the adjustment in comorbidity weighting. RESULTS We found that ICD versioning could lead to (1) alterations in the population distribution and (2) changes in the weight that can be assigned to a comorbidity category in a reweighting initiative. In addition, this study allowed the creation of the corresponding ICD-11-MMS codes list for each component of the CCI and the ECI. DISCUSSION In common with the implementations of previous versions of ICD, implementation of ICD-11-MMS potentially hinders comparability of comorbidity burden on health outcomes in research and clinical settings. CONCLUSION Further research is essential to enhance ICD-11-MMS usability, while mitigating, after identification, its adverse effects on comparability of analyses.

Methodologies and key considerations for implementing the International Classification of Diseases-11th revision morbidity coding: insights from a national pilot study in China. J Am Med Inform Assoc 2024; 31:1084-1092. [PMID: 38427850 PMCID: PMC11031236 DOI: 10.1093/jamia/ocae031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to disseminate insights from a nationwide pilot of the International Classification of Diseases-11th revision (ICD-11). MATERIALS AND METHODS The strategies and methodologies employed to implement the ICD-11 morbidity coding in 59 hospitals in China are described. The key considerations for the ICD-11 implementation were summarized based on feedback obtained from the pilot hospitals. Coding accuracy and Krippendorff's alpha reliability were computed based on the coding results in the ICD-11 exam. RESULTS Among the 59 pilot hospitals, 58 integrated ICD-11 Coding Software into their health information management systems and 56 implemented the ICD-11 in morbidity coding, resulting in 3 723 959 diagnoses for 873 425 patients being coded over a 2-month pilot coding phase. The key considerations in the transition to the ICD-11 in morbidity coding encompassed the enrichment of ICD-11 content, refinement of tools, provision of systematic and tailored training, improvement of clinical documentation, promotion of downstream data utilization, and the establishment of a national process and mechanism for implementation. The overall coding accuracy was 82.9% when considering the entire coding field (including postcoordination) and 92.2% when only one stem code was considered. Krippendorff's alpha was 0.792 (95% CI, 0.788-0.796) and 0.799 (95% CI, 0.795-0.803) with and without consideration of the code sequence, respectively. CONCLUSION This nationwide pilot study has enhanced national technical readiness for the ICD-11 implementation in morbidity, elucidating key factors warranting careful consideration in future endeavors. The good accuracy and intercoder reliability of the ICD-11 coding achieved following a brief training program underscore the potential for the ICD-11 to reduce training costs and provide high-quality health data. Experiences and lessons learned from this study have contributed to WHO's work on the ICD-11 and can inform other countries when formulating their transition plan.

Hu WJ, Bai G, Wang Y, Hong DM, Jiang JH, Li JX, Hua Y, Wang XY, Chen Y. Predictive modeling for postoperative delirium in elderly patients with abdominal malignancies using synthetic minority oversampling technique. World J Gastrointest Oncol 2024; 16:1227-1235. [PMID: 38660665 PMCID: PMC11037067 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v16.i4.1227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium, particularly prevalent in elderly patients after abdominal cancer surgery, presents significant challenges in clinical management. AIM To develop a synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE)-based model for predicting postoperative delirium in elderly abdominal cancer patients. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed data from 611 elderly patients who underwent abdominal malignant tumor surgery at our hospital between September 2020 and October 2022. The incidence of postoperative delirium was recorded for 7 d post-surgery. Patients were divided into delirium and non-delirium groups based on the occurrence of postoperative delirium or not. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify risk factors and develop a predictive model for postoperative delirium. The SMOTE technique was applied to enhance the model by oversampling the delirium cases. The model's predictive accuracy was then validated. RESULTS In our study involving 611 elderly patients with abdominal malignant tumors, multivariate logistic regression analysis identified significant risk factors for postoperative delirium. These included the Charlson comorbidity index, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, history of cerebrovascular disease, surgical duration, perioperative blood transfusion, and postoperative pain score. The incidence rate of postoperative delirium in our study was 22.91%. The original predictive model (P1) exhibited an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.862. In comparison, the SMOTE-based logistic early warning model (P2), which utilized the SMOTE oversampling algorithm, showed a slightly lower but comparable area under the curve of 0.856, suggesting no significant difference in performance between the two predictive approaches. CONCLUSION This study confirms that the SMOTE-enhanced predictive model for postoperative delirium in elderly abdominal tumor patients shows performance equivalent to that of traditional methods, effectively addressing data imbalance.

Improvements in Neoplasm Classification in the International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision: Systematic Comparative Study With the Chinese Clinical Modification of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision. Interact J Med Res 2024; 13:e52296. [PMID: 38457228 PMCID: PMC10960217 DOI: 10.2196/52296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision (ICD-11) improved neoplasm classification. OBJECTIVE We aimed to study the alterations in the ICD-11 compared to the Chinese Clinical Modification of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10-CCM) for neoplasm classification and to provide evidence supporting the transition to the ICD-11. METHODS We downloaded public data files from the World Health Organization and the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China. The ICD-10-CCM neoplasm codes were manually recoded with the ICD-11 coding tool, and an ICD-10-CCM/ICD-11 mapping table was generated. The existing files and the ICD-10-CCM/ICD-11 mapping table were used to compare the coding, classification, and expression features of neoplasms between the ICD-10-CCM and ICD-11. RESULTS The ICD-11 coding structure for neoplasms has dramatically changed. It provides advantages in coding granularity, coding capacity, and expression flexibility. In total, 27.4% (207/755) of ICD-10 codes and 38% (1359/3576) of ICD-10-CCM codes underwent grouping changes, which was a significantly different change (χ21=30.3; P<.001). Notably, 67.8% (2424/3576) of ICD-10-CCM codes could be fully represented by ICD-11 codes. Another 7% (252/3576) could be fully described by uniform resource identifiers. The ICD-11 had a significant difference in expression ability among the 4 ICD-10-CCM groups (χ23=93.7; P<.001), as well as a considerable difference between the changed and unchanged groups (χ21=74.7; P<.001). Expression ability negatively correlated with grouping changes (r=-.144; P<.001). In the ICD-10-CCM/ICD-11 mapping table, 60.5% (2164/3576) of codes were postcoordinated. The top 3 postcoordinated results were specific anatomy (1907/3576, 53.3%), histopathology (201/3576, 5.6%), and alternative severity 2 (70/3576, 2%). The expression ability of postcoordination was not fully reflected. CONCLUSIONS The ICD-11 includes many improvements in neoplasm classification, especially the new coding system, improved expression ability, and good semantic interoperability. The transition to the ICD-11 will inevitably bring challenges for clinicians, coders, policy makers and IT technicians, and many preparations will be necessary.

Park YT, Han D, Kim KH, Kim H, Yoon HJ, Lane C, Kim BR, Jeong JY. Feasibility of extracting cancer stage and metastasis codes from health insurance claims of outpatients and expressibility in ICD-11: a cross-sectional study using national health insurance data from South Korea. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e073952. [PMID: 38401892 PMCID: PMC10895217 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-073952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of health insurance claims recording the cancer stage and TNM codes representing tumor extension size (T), lymph node metastasis (N), and distant metastasis (M) for patients diagnosed with cancer and to determine whether this extracted data could be applied to the new ICD-11 codes. DESIGN A cross-sectional study design was used, with the units of analysis as individual outpatients. Two dependent variables were extraction feasibility of cancer stage and TNM metastasis information from each claim. Expressibility of the two variables in ICD-11 was descriptively analysed. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The study was conducted in South Korea and study participants were outpatients: lung cancer (LC) (46616), stomach cancer (SC) (50103) and colorectal cancer (CC) (54707). The data set consisted of the first health insurance claim of each patient visiting a hospital from 1 July to 31 December 2021. RESULTS The absolute extraction success rates for cancer stage based on claims with cancer stage was 33.3%. The rates for stage for LC, SC and CC were 30.1%, 35.5% and 34.0%, respectively. The rate for TNM was 11.0%. The relative extraction success rates for stage compared with that for CC (the reference group) were lower for patients with LC (adjusted OR (aOR), 0.803; 95% CI 0.782 to 0.825; p<0.0001) but higher for SC (aOR 1.073; 95% CI 1.046 to 1.101; p<0.0001). The rates of TNM compared that for CC were 40.7% lower for LC (aOR, 0.593; 95% CI 0.569 to 0.617; p<0.0001) and 43.0% lower for SC (aOR 0.570; 95% CI 0.548 to 0.593; p<0.0001). There were limits to expressibility in ICD-11 regarding the detailed cancer stage and TNM metastasis codes. CONCLUSION Extracting cancer stage and TNM codes from health insurance claims were feasible, but expressibility in ICD-11 codes was limited. WHO may need to create specific cancer stage and TNM extension codes for ICD-11 due to the absence of current rules in ICD-11.

[PMID: 38592067 PMCID: PMC10931950 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13051252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) is a tool designed to measure disability in accordance with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Measuring disability is becoming increasingly important due to its high prevalence, which continues to rise. Rehabilitation interventions can reduce disability and enhance functioning. (2) Objective: The present study aims to assess the impact of rehabilitation interventions on reducing disability, as measured by the WHODAS 2.0 questionnaire. It also seeks to identify which specific rehabilitation interventions are more effective and to explore other disability assessment questionnaires. (3) Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology, we conducted a systematic review, with the protocol registered with the identifier CRD42023495309, focused on "WHODAS" and "rehabilitation" using PubMed and Web of Science electronic databases. (4) Results: We identified 18 articles from various regions encompassing patients with various health conditions, related to stroke, the cardiovascular system (cardiovascular disease, chronic heart failure), the pulmonary system (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), the neurologic system (Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, neurodegenerative disease), the musculoskeletal system (orthopaedic surgery), cancer, and chronic pain, and among frail elderly. These patients have received a wide range of rehabilitation interventions: from conventional therapy to virtual reality, robot-assisted arm training, exergaming, and telerehabilitation. (5) Discussion and Conclusions: A wide range of rehabilitation techniques can effectively improve disability with various comorbidities, offering numerous benefits. The WHODAS 2.0 questionnaire proves to be an efficient and reliable tool for measuring disability, and scores have a tendency to decrease after rehabilitation.

OPHTHALMOLOGY SCIENCE 2023; 3:100337. [PMID: 37449050 PMCID: PMC10336190 DOI: 10.1016/j.xops.2023.100337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Purpose Widespread electronic health record adoption has generated a large volume of data and emphasized the need for standardized terminology to describe clinical concepts. Here, we undertook a systematic concept coverage analysis to determine the representation of clinical concepts in ophthalmic infection and ophthalmic trauma among standardized medical terminologies, including the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT), the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) version 10 with clinical modifications (ICD-10-CM), and ICD version 11 (ICD-11). Design Extraction of concepts related to ophthalmic infection and ophthalmic trauma and structured search in terminology browsers. Data Sources The American Academy of Ophthalmology Basic and Clinical Science Course (BCSC), SNOMED-CT, and ICD-10-CM terminologies from the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics Athena browser, and the ICD-11 terminology browser. Methods Concepts pertaining to ophthalmic infection and ophthalmic trauma were extracted from the 2022 BCSC free text and index terms. We searched terminology browsers to identify corresponding codes and classified the extent of semantic alignment as equal, wide, narrow, or unmatched in each terminology. The overlap of equal concepts in each terminology was represented in a Venn diagram. Main Outcome Measures Proportions of clinical concepts with corresponding codes at various levels of semantic alignment. Results A total of 443 concepts were identified: 304 concepts related to ophthalmic infection and 139 concepts related to ophthalmic trauma. The SNOMED-CT had the highest proportion of equal coverage, with 82.0% (249 of 304) among concepts related to ophthalmic infection and 82.0% (115 of 139) among concepts related to ophthalmic trauma. Across all concepts, 28% (124 of 443) were classified as equal in ICD-10-CM and 52.8% (234 of 443) were classified as equal in ICD-11. Conclusions The SNOMED-CT had significantly better semantic alignment than ICD-10-CM and ICD-11 for ophthalmic infections and ophthalmic trauma. This demonstrates opportunity for continuing advancement of representation of ophthalmic concepts in standardized medical terminologies.

Abstract
An extensive evaluation of disease occurrence after statin use based on a "hypothesis-free" approach remains scarce. To examine the effect of statin use on the potential risk of developing diseases, a propensity score-matched cohort study was executed using data from the National Sample Cohort in South Korea. A total of 7847 statin users and 39,235 nonstatin users were included in the final analysis. The period of statin use was defined as our main time-dependent exposure and was divided into three periods: current, recent, and past. The main outcomes were defined as new-onset diseases with ≥100 events based on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision. We calculated the adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Cox regression. We found that statin use significantly increased the risk of developing iron deficiency anemia up to 5.04 times (95% CI, 2.11 to 12.03). Therefore, the iron levels of patients using statins should be monitored carefully.

J Am Med Inform Assoc 2023; 30:1614-1621. [PMID: 37407272 PMCID: PMC10531107 DOI: 10.1093/jamia/ocad128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to derive and evaluate a practical strategy of replacing ICD-10-CM codes by ICD-11 for morbidity coding in the United States, without the creation of a Clinical Modification. MATERIALS AND METHODS A stepwise strategy is described, using first the ICD-11 stem codes from the Mortality and Morbidity Statistics (MMS) linearization, followed by exposing Foundation entities, then adding postcoordination (with existing codes and adding new stem codes if necessary), with creating new stem codes as the last resort. The strategy was evaluated by recoding 2 samples of ICD-10-CM codes comprised of frequently used codes and all codes from the digestive diseases chapter. RESULTS Among the 1725 ICD-10-CM codes examined, the cumulative coverage at the stem code, Foundation, and postcoordination levels are 35.2%, 46.5% and 89.4% respectively. 7.1% of codes require new extension codes and 3.5% require new stem codes. Among the new extension codes, severity scale values and anatomy are the most common categories. 5.5% of codes are not one-to-one matches (1 ICD-10-CM code matched to 1 ICD-11 stem code or Foundation entity) which could be potentially challenging. CONCLUSION Existing ICD-11 content can achieve full representation of almost 90% of ICD-10-CM codes, provided that postcoordination can be used and the coding guidelines and hierarchical structures of ICD-10-CM and ICD-11 can be harmonized. The various options examined in this study should be carefully considered before embarking on the traditional approach of a full-fledged ICD-11-CM.

Abstract
Background: ICD-11 was officially released at the World Health Assembly on 25 May 2019. Objective: To find effective ways to increase the accuracy of coding for diagnostic terms in Korea for a stable transition from Korean modification of ICD-10 (7th Revision of Korean Classification of Disease, KCD-7) to ICD-11. Method: A total of 27 skilled Korean health information managers performed KCD-7 and ICD-11 coding simultaneously (line coding [56]; case coding [17]). Accuracy rates and percentage agreements were calculated, and granularity and difficulty of the ICD-11 were rated by participants. Results: The average accuracy rate of line coding was 71.6 % in ICD-11 and 80.2% in KCD-7, which was similar to results in other studies. The mean percentage agreements for ICD-11 and KCD-7 for line coding were 64.2% and 72.1%, respectively; while for case coding it was 15.3% and 26.6%. Selection criteria for the case scenarios may have influenced the low agreements in case coding. Cluster coding, changes of terms in ICD-11 and removal of codes used in ICD-10 contributed to low agreement in ICD-11 (46.6% of participants reported that granularity of ICD-11 was similar to ICD-10, while 36.9% reported that ICD-11 had finer granularity). In terms of difficulty, 15.3% of participants found line coding difficult and 10.9% found case coding difficult. Conclusion: Provision of more detailed reference guidelines and efficient training for coding professionals by the World Health Organization would enable ICD-11 to be an excellent tool for gathering relevant information about diseases in Korea.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Guangxi Fangcheng Golden Camellias national nature reserve, situated in Fangcheng City, Guangxi Province, China, is a coastal region renowned for its exceptional natural environment. Over time, the residents of this area have acquired extensive knowledge regarding medicinal plants, owing to their close association with the abundant flora. Our study aims to document the medicinal plants used by the local community near the Guangxi Fangcheng Golden Camellias national nature reserve. We seek to investigate the unique regional properties, cultural significance, and potential connections between medicinal plants used in surrounding villages and those sold in markets. METHODS During 2019-2021, 96 informants, including 36 key informants, were interviewed in the study area. The snowball sampling method was used to select respondents from medicinal markets and villages. Local therapists were defaulted as key informants. A panel discussion was held on the protection and threat of medicinal plants and traditional knowledge. In this study, two quantitative indicators, relative frequency citation (RFC) and informant consensus factor (ICF), were used to analyze the traditional medicinal plants in the study area. RESULTS According to the investigation, a total of 396 species of medicinal plants belonging to 295 genera and 116 families were recorded. From the perspective of Lifeform, herbs accounted for 38.9%, followed by shrubs. Most of the medicinal parts are whole plant (120 species, 25.59%), branches and leaves (116 species, 24.73%), and roots (101 species, 21.54%). Medicinal bath is the most commonly used therapeutic method. Among the 13 therapeutic targets recorded, rheumatic drugs accounted for the highest proportion, followed by muscular system diseases and skin-related diseases, which are closely related to local climate and livelihood. ICF shows that the use of local medicinal plants and related knowledge is very diverse, so local people have more options for treating diseases. Melicope pteleifolia, Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum, Lygodium flexuosum, Elephantopus scaber, Artemisia argyi, Plantago asiatica, Centella asiatica, Grangea maderaspatana, and Liquidambar formosana have high RFC, which are closely connected to local people's daily lives and are potentially vital to them. The wild vegetation, mostly around the nature reserve, is the primary source of medicinal materials sold in the urban medicinal market. Urban areas have fewer varieties of medicinal plants compared to villages near protected areas. However, there is consistency in their usage and application. CONCLUSION The medicinal plants used in the villages near the Golden Camellia Nature Reserve are diverse, and the relevant traditional knowledge is relatively well preserved. The collection of medicinal materials by local people is sustainable. This study suggests that the local government should also protect relevant traditional knowledge in the decision-making process.

Br J Dermatol 2023; 188:372-379. [PMID: 36637104 DOI: 10.1093/bjd/ljac086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbidities associated with psoriasis are well documented. However, few studies have explored the comorbidity trajectories that patients with psoriasis commonly experience over time. This study reports the 5-year comorbidity trajectories of patients with psoriasis. OBJECTIVES To determine the long-term comorbidity trajectories of patients with psoriasis in Denmark. METHODS This observational cohort study explored the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR) between 1999 and 2013 to identify comorbidities diagnosed 5 years prior to or after a psoriasis diagnosis. Comorbidity occurrence in patients with psoriasis (psoriasis cohort) was compared with patients without psoriasis (the N group). Comparison groups, each the same size as the psoriasis cohort, were created by selecting random patients from the N group. If a comorbidity occurrence was higher in more than nine comparison groups than in the psoriasis cohort, it was not analysed and only comorbidities that occurred in ≥ 0·8% of the psoriasis cohort were analysed. The strength of association between a psoriasis diagnosis and a comorbidity diagnosis was measured using relative risk (RR). All psoriasis and comorbidity pairs that achieved RR > 1 (P < 0·001) (known as a Diagnosed Pair) were tested for directionality to identify the sequence of diagnoses using a binomial test. Diagnosed Pairs with a statistically significant direction (Bonferroni corrected P-value < 0·025) were then used to create comorbidity trajectory clusters 5 years before and after a psoriasis diagnosis. RESULTS A total of 17 683 patients with psoriasis were compared with 10 000 comparison groups. A total of 121 comorbidities met the minimum criteria that ≥ 0·8% of the psoriasis cohort were diagnosed with the comorbidity within 5 years (before or after) of their psoriasis diagnosis. Thirty-eight of these comorbidities achieved RR > 1 (P < 0·001) with psoriasis, of which 19 achieved a significant direction from psoriasis to a comorbidity (including psoriasis to hypothyroidism), and four achieved a significant direction from a comorbidity diagnosis to a psoriasis diagnosis (including Crohn disease to psoriasis); four of five comorbidity trajectories with three sequential diagnoses achieved an RR > 1 (P < 0·001) and a significant direction from psoriasis to the first comorbidity to the second comorbidity (including psoriasis to hypertension to atrial fibrillation and flutter). CONCLUSIONS Comorbidity trajectories may support clinicians in conducting disease risk analyses of patients with psoriasis and help plan optimal treatment to prevent future high-risk comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol dependence has become a major problem that poses a serious threat to public health. Long-term heavy alcohol consumption can lead to brain functional disorders. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of the severity of cerebral white matter lesions (WMLs), serum neurofilament light (NfL) and inflammatory factors, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), with the cognitive function of patients with alcohol dependence. METHODS A total of 118 patients were enrolled in this prospective study, and divided into alcohol-dependent and non-alcohol-dependent groups. The severity of WMLs was assessed using the Fazekas scale based on magnetic resonance imaging analysis. The expression levels of NfL, TNF-α and IL-1β in the serum of the subjects were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The cognitive function and psychological status of the patients were assessed using the Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA). The severity of WMLs and the expression levels of serum NfL, TNF-α and IL-1β in alcohol-dependent patients were analysed for their influence on cognitive function. This clinical trial was approved by China Clinical Trials Registry, and the trial number is ChiCTR2200066057 (http://www.chictr.org.cn/searchproj.aspx). RESULTS The score of Fazekas scale was higher, and the MMSE score and MoCA score were lower in the alcohol-dependent group than those in the non-alcohol-dependent group. Moreover, the Fazekas score of the alcohol-dependent group was negatively correlated with the MMSE and MoCA scores. The serum NfL, TNF-α and IL-1β levels were higher in the alcohol-dependent group than in the non-alcohol-dependent group, and the serum NfL, TNF-α and IL-1β levels in the alcohol-dependent group were negatively correlated with the MMSE and MoCA scores. CONCLUSION Alcohol-dependent patients have more severe cerebral WMLs and significant cognitive impairment, particularly in visuospatial and executive functions, attention, calculation, abstraction, delayed recall and orientation. Serum NfL, TNF-α and IL-1β may be used as biomarkers to assess alcohol related cognitive decline.

Xu Y, Zhou J, Wang Y. The novel and powerful ICD-11 classification system for neoplasm coding: a comparative study with the ICD-O. BMC Med Inform Decis Mak 2022; 22:333. [PMID: 36527027 PMCID: PMC9758819 DOI: 10.1186/s12911-022-02077-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) are both widely used global classification systems. In 2018, the initial release of the ICD-11 was published by the World Health Organization (WHO), integrating the morphology section of the ICD-O. METHODS This paper aims to provide potential ICD-11 users with a profound understanding of the neoplasm classifications of the ICD-11 by analysing the differences and relationships between the ICD-11 and ICD-O in terms of the coding framework, compatibility and intelligence level. RESULTS The ICD-11 and ICD-O have remarkable differences in coding structure. Compared to the ICD-O, the ICD-11 has the following advantages: adding histopathology to the stem codes, obtaining a meaningful minimum amount of information through stem codes for statistics, supporting the usage of ICD-O morphology categories and capturing clinical details via extension codes for multiaxial coding. In addition, the rich Foundation Component, linearization derived from the Foundation Component and updating mechanism all support the compatibility of the ICD-11 with other classification systems. Notably, the WHO provides terminology coding with a smart coding tool, and coding in the ICD-11 can draw on statistical codes and uniform resource identifiers (URIs) simultaneously. CONCLUSIONS The ICD-11 represents a novel classification system with distinguishing features that include facilitating statistics, multiaxial coding, coding granularity, compatibility and intelligence. These features enable the ICD-11 to be more powerful for neoplasm coding than the ICD-O and basically meet the needs of stakeholders.

Abstract
Injury surveillance relies heavily on data created for administrative purposes. In the United States, the adoption of the clinical modification of the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification added thousands of potential injury codes, but few are used in administrative datasets. The widespread use of electronic health records has the potential to influence the data sources used for injury surveillance. This investigation explores how trends in clinical coding may affect the consistency of injury surveillance data. Objectives Accurate injury surveillance depends on data quality in administrative datasets created for billing and reimbursement. Significant effort has been devoted to testing the ability of candidate injury case definitions to identify injury cases accurately in these datasets. We used interviews with experienced coders, informed by a review of the current literature, to identify three clinical coding trends that may affect the consistency of surveillance data: “clinical documentation improvement or clinical documentation integrity” (CDI), coding by treating clinicians, and certain electronic health record features. Methods An extensive literature review informed interviews with coding experts to identify potential issues in coding practice. To determine whether physician coding was associated with information loss, we analyzed data from two hospitals serving the same geographic area. One hospital had used physician coding of emergency department data for the past decade; the other used professional coders. We compared the proportion of emergency department records missing external cause of injury codes and assessed the variation for statistical significance. Results CDI audits review patient records to ensure that billing information includes every relevant International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification code. This approach has increased payment rates awarded to Medicare Advantage plans because additional codes increase the patient acuity level and case mix index. The impact of CDI audits on injury data needs further investigation. The pilot analysis addressing information loss with physician coding found a higher level of external cause coding with clinician self-coding, possibly because of the coding software. Finally, widespread “copy and paste” in patient electronic health records has the potential to increase reported injuries. Conclusions Injury surveillance relies on billing and reimbursement records. Financial motivations may interfere with the consistency of surveillance findings and mislead injury epidemiologists. Further investigation is essential to ensure the integrity of surveillance findings.

Abstract
Background The association between metabolic comorbidity and myocardial infarction (MI) among individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is yet to be elucidated. We aimed to examine the combined effects of metabolic comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, with a family history of CVD in first-degree on the risk of incident MI. Methods This cohort study consisted of 81,803 participants aged 40–89 years without a previous history of MI at baseline from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study. We performed Cox proportional hazard regression analysis to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for MI and early-onset MI risk associated with metabolic comorbidity in individuals with a family history of CVD. Results During a median follow-up of 5 years, 1,075 and 479 cases of total and early-onset MI were reported, respectively. According to the disease score, among individuals who had a positive family history of CVD, the HRs for MI were 1.92 (95% CI: 1.47–2.51) in individuals with one disease, 2.75 (95% CI: 2.09–3.61) in those with two diseases, and 3.74 (95% CI: 2.45–5.71) in those with three diseases at baseline compared to individuals without a family history of CVD and metabolic diseases. Similarly, an increase of the disease score among individuals with a positive family history of CVD was associated with an increase in early-onset MI risk. Conclusion Metabolic comorbidity was significantly associated with an increased risk of MI among individuals with a family history of CVD.

Abstract
The assessment of disability in Italy requires the support of a system entirely dedicated to forensic evaluative medicine, which, for years, has been associated with the National Social Security Institute (INPS). Its medical offices are daily engaged in evaluating applications submitted by citizens. Their examination takes place in two different ways in the various Italian regions: assessments carried out by the Local Health Authority (ASL) and controlled by the INPS; evaluations carried out entirely by the INPS only. The main problem observed, and not yet resolved, is the excess time taken to respond to a citizen's request, especially in areas where the procedure retains the biphasic ASL-INPS modality. This phenomenon is exemplified by the presentation of cases of the INPS medical office of Iglesias (South Sardinia, Italy), which include a series of disability applications examined in the year 2021 from January to September. The most favourable feedback is a tested and shared path in the determination of judgments.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic saw a massive investment into collaborative research projects with a focus on producing data to support public health decisions. We relay our direct experience of four projects funded under the Horizon2020 programme, namely ReCoDID, ORCHESTRA, unCoVer and SYNCHROS. The projects provide insight into the complexities of sharing patient level data from observational cohorts. We focus on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ethics approvals when sharing data across national borders. We discuss procedures for data mapping; submission of new international codes to standards organisation; federated approach; and centralised data curation. Finally, we put forward recommendations for the development of guidelines for the application of GDPR in case of major public health threats; mandatory standards for data collection in funding frameworks; training and capacity building for data owners; cataloguing of international use of metadata standards; and dedicated funding for identified critical areas.

Abstract
Contraindications (CIs) in Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs)/Prescribing Information (PI) that lack clarity may pose a risk to medication safety and increase the risk for adverse drug reactions. We assessed and compared SmPCs/PI from three major drug markets regarding comprehensibility from the prescriber perspective, as well as usability in clinical decision support systems. 158 drugs met the following inclusion criteria: marketed in Germany (DE), United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US) and belonged to the 100 most recently FDA approved and/or 100 most frequently prescribed drugs in either country. In the 474 (3 × 158) SmPCs/PI all expressions for absolute CIs were identified, divided into 3999 stand-alone terms and evaluated according to ‘clarity’ and ‘codability’. The average number of absolute CIs per drug differed drastically between the three markets (DE: 11.7, UK: 9.0, US: 4.6). Expressions were frequently unclear (DE: 27.2% (95% CI 25.2–29.2%), UK: 28.5% (26.2–30.9%), US: 22.6% (19.7–25.8%)). Moreover, 60.9% (58.6–63.1%), 63.6% (61.0–66.0%), and 64.7% (61.2–68.1%) of the expressions were not codable in DE, UK, and US, respectively. Taken together, in three major drug markets, statements regarding CIs in SmPCs/PI substantially differ in frequency and frequently lack clarity and codability which poses an unnecessary obstacle to medication safety.

Abstract
The European project ORCHESTRA intends to create a new pan-European cohort to rapidly advance the knowledge of the effects and treatment of COVID-19. Establishing processes that facilitate the merging of heterogeneous clusters of retrospective data was an essential challenge. In addition, data from new ORCHESTRA prospective studies have to be compatible with earlier collected information to be efficiently combined. In this article, we describe how we utilized and contributed to existing standard terminologies to create consistent semantic representation of over 2500 COVID-19-related variables taken from three ORCHESTRA studies. The goal is to enable the semantic interoperability of data within the existing project studies and to create a common basis of standardized elements available for the design of new COVID-19 studies. We also identified 743 variables that were commonly used in two of the three prospective ORCHESTRA studies and can therefore be directly combined for analysis purposes. Additionally, we actively contributed to global interoperability by submitting new concept requests to the terminology Standards Development Organizations.

Abstract
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) people, including agender, asexual, bisexual, gay, gender diverse, genderqueer, genderfluid, intersex, lesbian, nonbinary, pansexual, queer, and transgender people, comprise approximately 10% or more of the U.S. population. Thus, most oncologists see SGM patients whether they know it or not. SGM people experience stigma and structural discrimination that lead to cancer disparities. Because of the lack of systematic and comprehensive data collection, data regarding SGM cancer incidence, outcomes, and treatment responses are limited. Collection of data regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender identity and/or experience, anatomy, and serum hormone concentrations in oncology settings would drastically increase collective knowledge about the impact of stigma and biologic markers on cancer outcomes. Increasing the safety of oncology settings for SGM people will require individual, institutional, and systems changes that will likely improve oncologic care for all patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ICD-11 will be used to report mortality statistics by WHO member countries starting in 2022. In the US, ICD-10-CM will likely continue to be used for morbidity coding for a long period of time. A map between ICD-10-CM and ICD-11 will therefore be useful for interoperability purpose between datasets coded with ICD-10-CM and ICD-11. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to explore novel approaches to automatically derive a map between ICD-10-CM and ICD-11 through the sequential use of existing maps. METHODS AND RESULTS Sequential mapping through ICD-10 yielded better coverage and accuracy compared to mapping through SNOMED CT. CONCLUSIONS Sequential mapping is useful in automatically creating a draft map from ICD-10-CM to ICD-11 and would reduce manual curation efforts in creating the final map. The various approaches offer different trade-offs among coverage, recall and precision.

What We Know about Sting-Related Deaths? Human Fatalities Caused by Hornet, Wasp and Bee Stings in Europe (1994-2016). BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11020282. [PMID: 35205148 PMCID: PMC8869362 DOI: 10.3390/biology11020282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary Information about fatalities due to stinging insects is scarce. Hymenopteran-related deaths (n = 1691) in 32 European countries based on official registers over a 23-year period (1994–2016) are described. Male adults (25–64 years) were the most common group to be fatally injured and almost half of the fatalities were recorded at “unspecified places”. Fatalities per million inhabitants per year ranged from 0 to 2.24 with an average of 0.26. Geographic, environmental, and ecological factors influence the frequency of stings, and its subsequent reaction. It is necessary to produce and interpret knowledge using diverse sources and in an interdisciplinary way. As part of the One Health philosophy, people and hornets, wasps and bees, as well as the environment that they share are closely connected. Abstract Epidemiology of Hymenopteran-related deaths in Europe, based on official registers from WHO Mortality Database (Cause Code of Death: X23), are presented. Over a 23-year period (1994–2016), a total of 1691 fatalities were recorded, mostly occurring in Western (42.8%) and Eastern (31.9%) Europe. The victims tended to concentrate in: Germany (n = 327; 1998–2015), France (n = 211; 2000–2014) and Romania (n = 149; 1999–2016). The majority of deaths occurred in males (78.1%) between 25–64 years (66.7%), and in an “unspecified place” (44.2%). The highest X23MR (mortality rate) were recorded in countries from Eastern Europe (0.35) followed by Western (0.28), Northern (0.23) and Southern Europe (0.2). The countries with the highest and lowest mean X23MR were Estonia (0.61), Austria (0.6) and Slovenia (0.55); and Ireland (0.05), United Kingdom (0.06) and the Netherlands (0.06), respectively. The X23 gender ratio (X23GR; male/female) of mortality varied from a minimum of 1.4 for Norway to a maximum of 20 for Slovenia. Country-by-country data show that the incidence of insect-sting mortality is low and more epidemiological data at the regional level is needed to improve our understanding of this incidence. With the expansion of non-native Hymenopteran species across Europe, allergists should be aware that their community’s exposures are continually changing

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tobacco and alcohol are the main risk factors for oral squamous cell carcinoma, the low survival rate of which is a public health problem. European-wide health policies (a prevention campaign, tobacco packaging) have been put in place to inform the population of the risks associated with consumption. Due to the increase in smoking among women, the incidence of this disease remains high. The identification of internet research data on the population could help to measure the impact of and better position these preventive measures. The objective was to analyze a potential temporal association between public health programs and interest in oral cancers on the internet in the European Union (EU). METHODS A search of data from Google ©, Wikipedia © and Twitter © users in 28 European countries relating to oral cancer between 2004 and 2019 was completed. Bibliometric analysis of press and scientific articles over the same period was also performed. The association between these data and the introduction of public health programs in Europe was studied. RESULTS There was a temporal association between changes in tobacco packaging and a significant increase in internet searches for oral cancer in seven countries. Unlike national policies and ad campaigns, the European awareness program Make Sense has had no influence on internet research. There was an asymmetric correlation in internet searches between publications on oral cancer from scientific articles or "traditional" media (weak association) and those from internet media such as Twitter © or Wikipedia © (strong association). CONCLUSION Our work highlights seven areas around which oral cancer awareness in Europe could be refocused, such as a change in the communication of health warnings on cigarette packs, the establishment of a more explicit campaign name regarding oral cancer, the involvement of public figures and associations in initiatives to be organized at the local level and the strengthening of awareness of the dangers of tobacco in the development of oral cancer.

Abstract
Background The new International Classification of Diseases—11th revision (ICD-11) succeeds ICD-10. In the three decades since ICD-10 was released, demands for detailed information on the clinical history of a morbid patient have increased. Methods ICD-11 has now implemented an addendum chapter X called “Extension Codes”. This chapter contains numerous codes containing information on concepts including disease stage, severity, histopathology, medicaments, and anatomical details. When linked to a stem code representing a clinical state, the extension codes add significant detail and allow for multidimensional coding. Results This paper discusses the purposes and uses of extension codes and presents three examples of how extension codes can be used in coding clinical detail. Conclusion ICD-11 with its extension codes implemented has the potential to improve precision and evidence based health care worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 10th and 9th revisions of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD10 and ICD9) have been adopted worldwide as a well-recognized norm to share codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, etc. The international Consortium for Clinical Characterization of COVID-19 by EHR (4CE) website stores diagnosis COVID-19 disease data using ICD10 and ICD9 codes. However, the ICD systems are difficult to decode due to their many shortcomings, which can be addressed using ontology. METHODS An ICD ontology (ICDO) was developed to logically and scientifically represent ICD terms and their relations among different ICD terms. ICDO is also aligned with the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and reuses terms from existing ontologies. As a use case, the ICD10 and ICD9 diagnosis data from the 4CE website were extracted, mapped to ICDO, and analyzed using ICDO. RESULTS We have developed the ICDO to ontologize the ICD terms and relations. Different from existing disease ontologies, all ICD diseases in ICDO are defined as disease processes to describe their occurrence with other properties. The ICDO decomposes each disease term into different components, including anatomic entities, process profiles, etiological causes, output phenotype, etc. Over 900 ICD terms have been represented in ICDO. Many ICDO terms are presented in both English and Chinese. The ICD10/ICD9-based diagnosis data of over 27,000 COVID-19 patients from 5 countries were extracted from the 4CE. A total of 917 COVID-19-related disease codes, each of which were associated with 1 or more cases in the 4CE dataset, were mapped to ICDO and further analyzed using the ICDO logical annotations. Our study showed that COVID-19 targeted multiple systems and organs such as the lung, heart, and kidney. Different acute and chronic kidney phenotypes were identified. Some kidney diseases appeared to result from other diseases, such as diabetes. Some of the findings could only be easily found using ICDO instead of ICD9/10. CONCLUSIONS ICDO was developed to ontologize ICD10/10 codes and applied to study COVID-19 patient diagnosis data. Our findings showed that ICDO provides a semantic platform for more accurate detection of disease profiles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated how well-suited the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision, for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, (ICD-11 MMS) is for 2 morbidity use cases, patient safety and quality, examining the level of detail captured, and evaluating the necessity for the development of a US clinical modification (CM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Utilizing the 5 NCVHS-specified perspectives plus the consumer perspective, a framework was created of International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) use cases. Analysis yielded candidate source criteria for use in case evaluation. Patient safety and quality were chosen because they are relevant across all perspectives.Granularity differences and content coverage of ICD-11 MMS entities were assessed pre- and post-coordination to determine suitability for the 2 use cases. Pressure ulcers, a common condition across 3 patient safety applications, became the focus for comparing ICD-10-CM codes to ICD-11 MMS codes. For 3 electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs), the evaluation centered on specified value sets for ischemic stroke, hypertension, and diabetes. RESULTS For pressure ulcers, the ICD-11 MMS was found to exceed ICD-10-CM capabilities via post-coordinated extension codes. For the 3 eCQM value sets explored, the ICD-11 MMS fully represented the disease concepts when post-coordinated code clusters were used. CONCLUSIONS The examples from the patient safety and quality use cases evaluated in this study are appropriate for ICD-11 MMS. It captures greater detail than ICD-10-CM, and ICD-11 MMS specificity would benefit both use cases. The authors believe this preliminary study indicates the US should invest resources to explore adopting the WHO ICD-11 MMS and tooling and guidelines to implement post-coordination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study sought to assess the feasibility of replacing the International Classification of Diseases-Tenth Revision-Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) with the International Classification of Diseases-11th Revision (ICD-11) for morbidity coding based on content analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The most frequently used ICD-10-CM codes from each chapter covering 60% of patients were identified from Medicare claims and hospital data. Each ICD-10-CM code was recoded in the ICD-11, using postcoordination (combination of codes) if necessary. Recoding was performed by 2 terminologists independently. Failure analysis was done for cases where full representation was not achieved even with postcoordination. After recoding, the coding guidance (inclusions, exclusions, and index) of the ICD-10-CM and ICD-11 codes were reviewed for conflict. RESULTS Overall, 23.5% of 943 codes could be fully represented by the ICD-11 without postcoordination. Postcoordination is the potential game changer. It supports the full representation of 8.6% of 943 codes. Moreover, with the addition of only 9 extension codes, postcoordination supports the full representation of 35.2% of 943 codes. Coding guidance review identified potential conflicts in 10% of codes, but mostly not affecting recoding. The majority of the conflicts resulted from differences in granularity and default coding assumptions between the ICD-11 and ICD-10-CM. CONCLUSIONS With some minor enhancements to postcoordination, the ICD-11 can fully represent almost 60% of the most frequently used ICD-10-CM codes. Even without postcoordination, 23.5% full representation is comparable to the 24.3% of ICD-9-CM codes with exact match in the ICD-10-CM, so migrating from the ICD-10-CM to the ICD-11 is not necessarily more disruptive than from the International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision-Clinical Modification to the ICD-10-CM. Therefore, the ICD-11 (without a CM) should be considered as a candidate to replace the ICD-10-CM for morbidity coding.

Abstract
In the World Health Congress in May 2019, ICD-11 was approved, This study aims to analyze the classification system of the 11th revision of the International Classification of Disease mapping with the ICD-10-KM-7th (ICD-10 Korean Modification 7th) to identify the characteristics of ICD-11 so that it can be flexibly linked to KCD-7 when introduced in Korea. The mapping was conducted based on the ICD-11 frozen version (April 2019). Most of the ICD-11 codes were mapped to a single ICD-10 or KCD-7 code. However, for the diabetes code, more than 80 percent of KCD-7 codes needed to be mapped to one or two post-coordination codes, along with one stem code in ICD-11. ICD-11 is a great classification that has an excellent taxonomy system to express detailed information. For the codes that have been changed or removed, a proper guideline might also be useful for users to understand the changes made in KCD-7 or ICD-10 code.

Abstract
Background Transitioning from an old medical coding system to a new one can be challenging, especially when the two coding systems are significantly different. The US experienced such a transition in 2015. Objective This research aims to introduce entropic measures to help users prepare for the migration to a new medical coding system by identifying and focusing preparation initiatives on clinical concepts with more likelihood of adoption challenges. Methods Two entropic measures of coding complexity are introduced. The first measure is a function of the variation in the alphabets of new codes. The second measure is based on the possible number of valid representations of an old code. Results A demonstration of how to implement the proposed techniques is carried out using the 2015 mappings between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM/PCS. The significance of the resulting entropic measures is discussed in the context of clinical concepts that were likely to pose challenges regarding documentation, coding errors, and longitudinal data comparisons. Conclusion The proposed entropic techniques are suitable to assess the complexity between any two medical coding systems where mappings or crosswalks exist. The more the entropy, the more likelihood of adoption challenges. Users can utilize the suggested techniques as a guide to prioritize training efforts to improve documentation and increase the chances of accurate coding, code validity, and longitudinal data comparisons.
