ICDkoodi

ICD-koodi refers to a code within the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) system. This classification system is maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO) and provides a standardized way to record, report, and analyze diseases and health conditions. ICD codes are used globally for a variety of purposes, including epidemiological studies, health management, billing, and clinical decision-making. Each code represents a specific diagnosis, injury, or cause of death, allowing for consistent data collection and comparison across different healthcare settings and countries. The current version is ICD-11, which replaced ICD-10. The codes are alphanumeric and structured hierarchically, with broader categories broken down into more specific subcategories. Healthcare professionals, researchers, and administrators rely on ICD codes to accurately document patient conditions and monitor public health trends. The system is regularly updated to reflect advances in medical knowledge and understanding of diseases.
