| # ICD-10-GM Codes (German) |
|
|
| Complete hierarchy of **ICD-10-GM** diagnosis codes with their German |
| descriptions, scraped from the official German National Health Portal |
| [gesund.bund.de](https://gesund.bund.de/icd-code-suche). |
|
|
| **11072 codes** across the full classification. |
|
|
| ## Fields |
|
|
| | field | description | |
| |-------|-------------| |
| | `code` | ICD-10-GM code, e.g. `A22.7` | |
| | `description` | official German label, e.g. `Milzbrandsepsis` | |
| | `body_text` | plain-language German explanation of the code, written for laypeople by the "Was hab' ich?" gGmbH; empty string when the portal has no explanation for that code | |
| | `text_variations` | alternative spellings — the dot-less compact form, e.g. `["A227"]` (empty list when identical to `code`) | |
| | `parent_code` | direct parent code in the hierarchy (`null` for top-level categories) | |
| | `parent_slug` | parent URL slug (`null` for top-level categories) | |
| | `slug` | URL slug on gesund.bund.de, e.g. `a22-7` | |
| | `depth` | hierarchy depth (1 = three-char category such as `A22`) | |
| | `url` | canonical source page | |
|
|
| Distribution: depth 1: 1757, depth 2: 9315. **8537 of 11072** codes carry a plain-language `body_text`. |
|
|
| In `icd10.csv`, `text_variations` is `|`-joined; in `icd10.jsonl` it is a JSON list. |
|
|
| ## Example |
|
|
| ```json |
| {"code": "A22.7", "description": "Milzbrandsepsis", |
| "body_text": "Sie haben sich mit Milzbrand-Erregern angesteckt.\n\nMilzbrand-Erreger sind bestimmte Bakterien...", |
| "text_variations": ["A227"], "parent_code": "A22", "parent_slug": "a22", |
| "slug": "a22-7", "depth": 2, "url": "https://gesund.bund.de/icd-code-suche/a22-7"} |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Hierarchy |
|
|
| The classification is a tree: three-character categories (e.g. `A22`) are |
| parents of their subcodes (`A22.0`, `A22.7`, …), which may themselves have |
| deeper subcodes. Walk it via `parent_code`, or reconstruct ranges from `code`. |
|
|
| ## Source & method |
|
|
| Built by crawling the publicly served code pages on gesund.bund.de (the |
| National Health Portal run by the German Federal Ministry of Health). Each |
| page lists its direct children and carries the code + description in its |
| heading; the tree was walked from the 26 letter indices down to every leaf. |
| A documented JSON search API also exists at |
| `https://search.gesund.bund.de/v1/gematik?q=<code>&collection=icd`. |
|
|
| Descriptions are the official German ICD-10-GM labels as published on the |
| portal. Provided for research; verify against the official BfArM/DIMDI |
| classification for clinical or billing use. |
|
|
|
|
| ## Companion file: top ICD codes by specialty |
|
|
| `top_icd_by_specialty_2024q1.json` — the most frequent ICD-10 categories per |
| ambulatory care specialty in **KV Nordrhein, Q1/2024** (source: KV Nordrhein |
| "Die 100 häufigsten ICD-10-Schlüssel und Kurztexte"), joined to the canonical |
| German descriptions and `body_text` of this dataset on the 3-character ICD |
| category. |
|
|
| Shape: `{quarter, n_specialties: 21, specialties: [{care, codes: [...]}]}`, where |
| each code has `rank`, `icd`, `anteil_pct` (share of cases in %), `kurztext` (KV |
| short label), `description` (official ICD-10-GM label), and `body_text`. |
|
|
| Note: in the source, *Internisten (fachärztlich tätig)* and *Nervenheilkunde* |
| are split into several unlabeled subspecialty lists; only the first list of each |
| is kept here, so those two entries represent one subspecialty rather than a |
| specialty-wide aggregate. |
