Coding rules (TT06)

• ●Not recommended as primary diagnosis
• ●Avoid — more specific 4-5 char codes exist (see below)

Coding guidance (WHO 2019)

Note: For primary coding, this category is to be used only when the listed conditions are reported without further specification, or are stated to be old or longstanding but of unspecified cause. The category is also for use in multiple coding to identify these conditions resulting from any cause. Excl.: congenital cerebral palsy (G80.-)
