ICD 10

(Discussion partly copied from WT:MED)[1]

I've put the ICD-10 code as P25.0, as this is where congenital emphysema "trails" to. However, this code is also used to describe Pulmonary interstitial emphysema. If they're not relatable terms, the code choice may need input from a paediatrician with ICD-10 coding/medical billing knowledge. User talk:Little pob (talk) 08:55, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should it not better be Q33.8 Other congenital malformations of lung? Pulmonary interstitional emphysema is not congenital but aquired due to respiration techniques. (The syntax in enWP ist quite different from deWP) Zieger M (talk) 12:55, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've just checked our encoder (3M's Dialect). The SNOMED CT term has been mapped to P25.0 by the UK's HSCIC. But I'm still not sure. (This actually highlights one of the recognised problems of classifications.) Little pob (talk) 14:00, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
