NOTES ON THE REFERENCE VERSION

The ICD-10-GM is published every year in different versions and formats.

The binding reference version of a classification is always the currently valid systematic index as a PDF.

In the event of discrepancies between the systematic index and the alphabetical index, the systematic index is authoritative.

In the event of discrepancies between the various technical formats of the systematic or alphabetical index, the authoritative reference version is always the PDF.

Please note: In the event of error corrections and updates during the year, we will inform you via corrigenda, which you can find classification-specifically under Downloads.

The classification file contains the complete alphabetical index of the ICD-10-GM.

In the systematic index of the ICD, diagnoses in the class texts are only mentioned with their preferred designation; synonyms (e.g. goat's squash as a synonym for mumps) are not included.

In addition to the preferred designations, the alphabetical index also contains a large number of synonyms, a total of around 89,000 diagnosis texts, encrypted with the corresponding code of the underlying ICD version.

Not all codes that are included in the system are also included in the alphabet. For example, the following are missing:

• Star codes as individual codes, as they can only be used together with a primary code (multiple coding); in combination with a primary code, however, they can be included

• a part of the codes whose class texts in the system contain unspecific information such as "other", "unspecified", "multiple locations", "a single specified location"; however, if specific inclusives are mentioned in the system for such codes, these are included in the alphabet

DATA SET DESCRIPTION

Each data set consists of 8 fields, each of which is separated by the concatenation character, i.e. the vertical bar ("|"). The fields contain the following data:

Field 1: Type of coding

0 = pure reference set

These data sets do not have a key number,

but rather references to other terms within the text field,

under which their key numbers are shown.


1 = Coding with only one primary key number
2 = Coding with one cross and one star key number
3 = Coding with one primary key number and with
an additional key number with an exclamation mark
4 = Coding with one cross, one star and one additional key number
5 = Coding only possible as an additional key number
6 = Coding with two primary key numbers
Field 2: BfArM internal sequential number
Field 3: Print code
0 = Sentence does not appear in the book version
1 = Sentence appears in the book version
Field 4: Primary key number 1 (if applicable with a cross)
Field 5: Star key number (with a star)
Field 6: Additional key number (with an exclamation mark)
Field 7: Primary key number 2 (if applicable with a cross)
Field 8: associated text, if applicable with reference
